2026 Draft note
Young has made incremental progress in each of his three NFL seasons, improving his completion percentage and touchdown rate annually, and that kind of quiet development is worth tracking even when the overall fantasy numbers haven't broken through yet. He finished QB19 overall in 2025 but QB29 on a per-game basis at 13.4 points per game, which reflects a brutal inconsistency problem—he posted three games over 20 points, including a 31.8-point explosion in Week 11, but also five games below 10. His efficiency metrics still sit in the middle of the pack (38th percentile EPA, 56th percentile CPOE), and the rushing production (14.6 yards per start, two touchdowns) provides a low floor. The big development heading into Year 4 is Tetairoa McMillan’s continued development. Jalen Coker provides depth. Young is going as a low-end QB2, and that's where he belongs until he shows he can sustain the big weeks rather than alternating them with clunkers.
