Now in Las Vegas after trailing coordinator Klint Kubiak over from Seattle, Young projects as a core special-teamer and depth piece rather than a rotational receiver. There's no ADP, no ranking, and no realistic route to volume on a crowded wideout depth chart. Leave him on the wire in every format; any fantasy buzz here would require a cascade of injuries ahead of him. Full outlook

Our Take After Week 4

Through 3 games he's WR129 at 1.2 PPR points per game, against 0.8 over 8 games last season (WR188). The role is producing the same fantasy output two years running.

Last season he ranked 137th of 142 in target volume (0.7% target share), 133rd of 142 in downfield role (1.5% air-yards share) and 4th of 142 in efficiency (2.82 yards per route run). His points come from his efficiency. Target volume is the soft spot. Kirk Cousins is his quarterback.

He's WR2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.

The next favorable matchup is the Bills in Week 6 (7th against WRs).

Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)

Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.

The numbers leave no room for optimism. Across eight 2025 games Young ran just 17 routes on a 3.4% route rate and a 9.4% snap share, drawing only three targets all year. He turned those into two grabs for 48 yards, and while the per-touch efficiency reads loud on paper (24 yards per catch, 2.82 yards per route, 0.657 EPA per play, a 66.7% success rate), that's noise off a microscopic sample, not a signal. His 0.7% target share and 0.021 WOPR confirm he was never part of the passing plan.

Now in Las Vegas after trailing coordinator Klint Kubiak over from Seattle, Young projects as a core special-teamer and depth piece rather than a rotational receiver. There's no ADP, no ranking, and no realistic route to volume on a crowded wideout depth chart. Leave him on the wire in every format; any fantasy buzz here would require a cascade of injuries ahead of him.

Dareke Young Fantasy Outlook FAQ

What is Dareke Young's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?

Dareke Young projects as an efficient depth WR for deep leagues only for the rest of the 2026 season: waiver-wire material in 12-team PPR, 10-team PPR and half-PPR leagues. His efficiency (2.82 yards per route run, 4th of 142 WRs in 2025) supports that. His target volume (0.7% target share, 137th of 142 WRs in 2025) holds him back. See his live rank in Redraft Command.

What is Dareke Young's rest-of-season fantasy ranking?

Dareke Young is the WR129 in PPR points per game through Week 4. That puts him in depth WR territory, waiver-wire material in 10-team PPR leagues.

What is Dareke Young's projected role going forward?

Dareke Young is WR2 on the depth chart, so a bigger role needs an injury or a change ahead of him.

Will Dareke Young get more targets?

Dareke Young's targets are holding steady: 0.5 a game over his last two games against 0.3 for the season. His share of the offense is what his fantasy value rides on.

What is Dareke Young's fantasy football upside?

Dareke Young's upside: his ceiling this season is 3.7 PPR points (Week 2, WR84), his efficiency (2.82 yards per route run, 4th of 142 WRs in 2025) gives him a weekly floor to build on and the Bills in Week 6 is a top-10 matchup for WRs.

What could hurt Dareke Young's fantasy value?

Dareke Young's risks: his target volume (0.7% target share, 137th of 142 WRs in 2025) limits his scoring and the Chiefs in Week 4 is a tough matchup. See his injury status and history.

How difficult is Dareke Young's remaining fantasy schedule?

Difficult: of his next seven games, 1 comes against a top-10 matchup for WRs and 3 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.
