Outlook Bryce Young

Vocal Leadership and Refined Footwork Position Former No. 1 Pick as a Late-Round Superflex Value

Under head coach Dave Canales, Bryce Young has taken total command of the Carolina offense. After retooling his footwork and asserting himself as a vocal leader during OTAs, Young enters his fourth season with improved stability. Encouragingly, his ankle injury from last season is fully healed without requiring offseason surgery.

The Panthers upgraded his supporting cast, drafting vertical threat Chris Brazzell II and running back Jonathon Brooks to join Xavier Legette on the depth chart. Our models project Young to pass for 3,205 yards and 21 touchdowns while adding 250 yards on the ground, maintaining the upward trajectory of his career-best 3,444 passing yards from last season.

Young's ADP has steadily drifted downward from the high-170s in May to 192 in June. This slide makes him an excellent, low-risk target in 1.0 PPR Superflex leagues. Our projection of 220.6 fantasy points suggests he could easily outperform this suppressed draft cost, representing a potential bargain-bin steal.

Outlook Trevor Lawrence

Offseason Stability Primed to Fuel Another Strong Fantasy Campaign

Trevor Lawrence enters the year settling into a highly stable offensive system. After throwing for 4,263 yards and 32 touchdowns last season, we project him to remain the clear focal point of the Jaguars' passing game. Offseason reports highlight his growing confidence, while scheme stability will help him maximize a receiving corps featuring Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers.

Rostered in 94% of leagues, Lawrence is a trusted starter. Our models project a highly respectable season, forecasting 3,862 passing yards, 26 touchdowns, and 339 rushing yards with five scores. This rushing contribution preserves a robust floor.

Analyzing his draft market momentum, Lawrence's ADP has remained stable, moving from 99 in early May to 93 in 1.0 PPR formats. At this mid-round price, our projections view him as an excellent value steal who can easily outperform his draft-day capital.
