Outlook Bryce Young

Offensive Continuity and Improving Leadership Set the Stage for a Year Four Breakthrough

After throwing for a career-high 3,444 yards and 25 touchdowns last season, Bryce Young enters his fourth year with total command of this Carolina offense. Operating as the clear starting quarterback ahead of Kenny Pickett, his vocal leadership and retooled mechanics have earned significant praise from coaches and teammates alike throughout the offseason.

Our projections look for him to build on his steady growth, forecasting 3,251 passing yards, 21 passing touchdowns, and 304 rushing yards. He will lead a developing unit that features young playmakers like Xavier Legette and Jonathon Brooks, boosting his weekly fantasy floor.

Financially backed by team management, Young's ADP has climbed from a deep 194 in early June to a stable 175 in July. At this late-round price tag, we view him as an outstanding value selection and a prime target for managers looking to secure a high-upside backup quarterback.

Outlook Brock Purdy

High-End Weapon Upgrades Make Brock Purdy an Exceptional Late-Round Draft Value

Purdy enters the season commanding a revamped San Francisco offense. He distributes to an elite supporting cast featuring newly acquired Mike Evans, George Kittle, and Christian McCaffrey. Our models project Purdy to compile a highly efficient campaign, projecting 4,018 passing yards and 27 touchdowns.

His draft market price is remarkably stable, settling at an ADP of 104 after briefly spiking in June. At this double-digit round valuation, our projections view him as an exceptional value target in standard formats, letting managers secure a highly efficient signal-caller without paying premium draft capital.

Rostered in 98% of leagues, Purdy is a trusted weekly option. Although his limited rushing upside caps his absolute ceiling, his efficiency in Kyle Shanahan's system provides a safe weekly floor. He is a premier target for managers who prefer waiting on the quarterback position.
