Bryce Young Fantasy Football Outlook (2026)

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Wed, Aug 12th 2026, 12:40am EDT

Bryce Young didn't take the fantasy leap that we all hoped for last year. He finished the season as the QB24 in fantasy points per game with only five games as a QB1 in weekly scoring. The rushing floor I was hoping we would get in 2025 after some glimpses in 2024 also wasn't there, as he surpassed 25 rushing yards in only three games. Carolina tried to hide him as he surpassed 225 passing yards only three times and had more than 30 passing attempts only five times. Young is a low-end QB2 again this season that will have some eruption games, but good luck predicting when those will happen. He's only appealing in Superflex formats.
