Outlook Bryce Young
Fiery Offseason Momentum and Refined Footwork Position Former Top Pick for a Crucial Leap
Young enters his fourth season showing elite processing and a newfound fiery leadership during offseason workouts. Head coach Dave Canales praised his total command of the offense after working to refine the young quarterback's footwork. Backed by Carolina exercising his fifth-year option, he looks to build on a 2025 campaign where he compiled 3,444 passing yards and 25 touchdowns.
The front office continues to restock his weapons, adding rookie Chris Brazzell II to a pass-catching group featuring Xavier Legette, Tetairoa McMillan, and John Metchie III. Additionally, the presence of rookie running back Jonathon Brooks should ease the pressure. If this young supporting cast gels, his overall efficiency should climb significantly.
In draft circles, his stock has shown immense volatility, fluctuating wildly between the 130s and 190s before settling around an ADP of 188. At this low-risk, late-round cost, our projections of 3,205 passing yards and 21 touchdowns make him an incredibly appealing backup option or a streaming candidate with tangible upside.

Outlook Joe Burrow
Undervalued Passing King Poised for an Elite Statistical Rebound
Joe Burrow enters the year fully healthy and highly motivated, declaring this Bengals roster the most talented of his career. Anchored by premier pass-catchers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, our projections expect Burrow to lead a hyper-efficient, pass-first offense that will frequently test defenses downfield.
Our models project Burrow for 4,183 passing yards and 34 touchdowns, cementing him as a top-tier fantasy option. Even with his low-volume rushing baseline, his exceptional passing efficiency and high touchdown ceiling make him a highly dependable weekly starter across all fantasy formats.
Looking at draft trends, Burrow's ADP has shown high-end fluctuation, moving from the mid-50s to as high as the mid-30s recently. At this climbing price tag, he remains a fantastic value in 1.0 PPR formats for managers wanting an elite passer without paying early-round premium costs.
