Bryce Young Rest-of-Season Outlook
QB1 every week
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished QB19 last season at 14.3 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's QB4 at 23.7 PPR points per game, against 14.3 over 16 games last season (QB19). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 19th of 41 in passing volume (29.9 attempts per game), 30th of 41 in efficiency (-0.030 EPA per play) and 23rd of 41 in rushing (13.5 rush yards per game). Efficiency is the soft spot. Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker are his top two targets.
The job is secure: he's the listed starter and one of the best at his position. The main risk is health, and Kenny Pickett is next on the depth chart if he misses time.
The next favorable matchups are the Lions in Week 4 (1st against QBs) and the Eagles in Week 6 (7th against QBs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Young set personal bests in 2025 with 23 touchdowns, 3,011 yards and a 63.6% completion rate across 16 games, yet the underlying profile barely budged. His EPA per play sat at -0.03 for the second straight year, his success rate ticked up only to 42.6%, and a finish as our QB21 tells you the volume never arrived. A 7.7% deep-attempt rate and 4.8 completed air yards per completion confirm an offense that lived underneath, and 11 picks against modest production cap the ceiling.
There are flickers of growth: CPOE climbed to +1.0, the bad-throw rate fell to 16.4%, and on-target percentage rose to 77.9%. But 216 rushing yards and two scores add little, and the half-season of sub-25-attempt games signals a coaching staff still managing him. Treat Young as a superflex-only stash with real bust risk, not a one-quarterback option.
What Drives His Outlook

Bryce Young Fantasy Outlook FAQ
What is Bryce Young's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?
Bryce Young projects as a qB1 every week for the rest of the 2026 season: a weekly starter in superflex and 2QB, 12-team 1QB and 10-team 1QB leagues. His efficiency (-0.030 EPA per play, 30th of 41 QBs in 2025) holds him back. See his live rank in Redraft Command.
What is Bryce Young's rest-of-season fantasy ranking?
Bryce Young is the QB4 in PPR points per game through Week 4. That puts him in QB1 territory, a weekly starter in 12-team 1QB leagues.
What is Bryce Young's projected role going forward?
Bryce Young is the listed starting QB, with Kenny Pickett next on the depth chart. Nothing on the chart threatens the job, so the role is his to lose on performance.
Will Bryce Young get more pass attempts?
Bryce Young's pass attempts are holding steady: 42.0 a game over his last two games against 40.3 for the season. Game script drives much of that, and trailing teams throw more.
What is Bryce Young's fantasy football upside?
Bryce Young's upside: his ceiling this season is 32.4 PPR points (Week 1, QB3) and the Lions in Week 4 and the Eagles in Week 6 are top-10 matchups for QBs.
What could hurt Bryce Young's fantasy value?
Bryce Young's risks: Kenny Pickett is next on the depth chart if he is benched or hurt, his efficiency (-0.030 EPA per play, 30th of 41 QBs in 2025) limits his scoring and the Buccaneers in Week 7 is a tough matchup. See his injury status and history.
How difficult is Bryce Young's remaining fantasy schedule?
Favorable: of his next seven games, 2 come against a top-10 matchup for QBs and 1 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.

High Ankle Sprain · Right 1 game
Suffered a right high ankle sprain in Week 7 against the New York Jets and subsequently missed the Week 8 game versus the Buffalo Bills. Briefly exited the game against the Atlanta Falcons after his right ankle was stepped on but returned to finish the game.
- 2023
Ankle 1 game
Sustained an ankle injury in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints, which led to him missing the Week 3 game against the Seattle Seahawks.
If Young Misses Time
Next man up: Kenny Pickett
Kenny Pickett is next on the Panthers depth chart at quarterback. In superflex leagues he's worth a speculative bench spot for Young managers; in 1QB leagues he's a waiver add only if Young misses time.
Who else it affects
A quarterback change matters most for Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker, his two most-targeted pass catchers this season.
