Fantasy Football Player Notes

Bryce Young's rookie season was a bumpy ride. In fairness, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft had one of the worst supporting casts in the league. Still, it's hard to find the silver lining in a rookie season where Young averaged a meager 5.5 yards per pass attempt, threw 11 TD passes and 10 interceptions in 16 starts, and piled up a league-high 477 yards' worth of sacks. The hope is that the arrival of new Panthers head coach Dave Canales, who worked wonders with Baker Mayfield last season as the Buccaneers' offensive coordinator, will get Young on the right track. The Panthers have also added WR Diontae Johnson, giving Young another proven possession receiver.
