Our Thoughts

Bryce Young's Preseason Player Analysis

Bottom Line

Young’s rookie season went as bad as it could possibly go.

Getting a new offensive-minded HC and a ton of investment in offensive personnel should help Young progress as a player, but his floor is still very low.

Young is being drafted as an appropriately priced QB3 who will need a lot to go right to be useful in 1-QB leagues.

What We Learned Last Year

  • Young finished as the QB23 in total fantasy points (152.2) and QB29 in points per game (9.5).
  • Young’s 2,783 passing yards ranked 20th among QBs. His 11 TDs ranked 25th.
  • He missed one game (Week 3) due to an ankle sprain suffered in Week 2. Young did not appear on a final injury report for the rest of the season.
  • He had two top-12 finishes. He also had four QB25 or worse finishes.
  • Young’s per-game averages were underwhelming for a #1 overall pick:
    • 59.8% completion rate
    • 179.8 yards
    • 0.69 TDs
    • 0.63 INTs
    • 5.02 Adjusted Yards per Pass Attempt
  • HC Frank Reich was fired 11 games into the season. Young’s per-game production decreased after Reich left the team:
    • 55.9% completion rate
    • 166.7 yards
    • 0.33 TDs
    • 0.33 INTs
    • 5.35 Adjusted Yards per Pass Attempt
  • Among the 45 QBs with 135+ dropbacks, Young ranked:
    • 40th in PFF passing grade (52.6)
    • 29th in Big Time Throw percentage (3.2%)
    • 20th in Turnover Worthy Play percentage (3.3%)
    • 14th in Time to Throw (2.90 seconds)
    • 34th in Completion Percentage Above Expectation (-1.6%)
  • Young played behind a poor O-line that ranked 27th in Pro Football Focus' pass-blocking grades.

What to Expect in 2024

  • Young will play under HC Dave Canales, who will be calling plays for the Panthers' offense.
    • Canales was the OC for the Buccaneers last season.
    • Under Canales, the Buccaneers ranked 19th in the NFL with 568 passes.
  • The Panthers invested in offensive weapons around Young:
    • WR Diontae Johnson (trade)
    • WR Xavier Legette (First Round)
    • RB Jonathon Brooks (Second Round)
    • TE Ja’Tavion Sanders (Fourth Round)
  • The Panthers are expected to take a step forward this year after only winning two games last season. They are fourth in the NFC South and 31st in the league with a 5.5 win total at most sportsbooks.
  • The Panthers have the worst odds in the NFL to win the Super Bowl at +25000 at most sportsbooks.
  • Young enters his second season at 23 years old. According to our aging curve research, the average QB with Young’s career expectation produces 91% of his peak value at age-23.

Bryce Young ready for Week 4

Bryce Young ready for Week 4

Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) put in a full week of practice and isn't listed on the final injury report. He'll be back under center for Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. Young has mustered just 4.2 yards per attempt so far this season and is just a low-end QB2 for Week 4, despite the plus matchup. Consider Young a slight downgrade from QB Andy Dalton for Carolina's pass catchers.

Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice. That should put him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. Young still has plenty of long-term upside but has struggled so far, completing 59% of his passes at 4.2 yards per attempt. He looks like at least a minor downgrade from QB Andy Dalton.
