Bryce Young, the Carolina Panthers quarterback, struggled to make a significant impact in fantasy football during the 2023 and 2024 seasons, with only 13.7% rostered in ESPN leagues. Nonetheless, his performance improved towards the end of the last season, making him a viable option for fantasy players in need.

In 2025, Young is emerging as an early sleeper, averaging nearly 21 points per game after the bye week. This performance would have positioned him as a top fantasy player had it continued for a full season. Coaches and analysts are optimistic about his future, especially if the Panthers can enhance their roster.
