Bryce Young News
Thursday, June 25, 8:21 AM
Across 16 games in 2025, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young completed 63.6% of his pass attempts for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. The 24-year-old also provided modest production with his legs, rushing for 216 yards and two scores on 54 attempts. While Young has made definite strides since his disastrous rookie season in 2023, he's yet to prove he can provide consistent top-12 fantasy production. At the same time, Young finished as the QB19 in 2025, putting him solidly in the QB2 range. There's also a chance that the Panthers operate with less of a run-heavy approach in 2026 after losing running back Rico Dowdle in free agency. Even if Young's development stagnates and his 2026 production mirrors his 2025 output, he should outperform his current redraft ADP of QB26. In superflex formats, Young may be a sneaky sleeper for fantasy managers to target.

Caleb Williams News
Thursday, June 25, 8:58 AM
Alyssa Barbieri of Bears Wire lists Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams as an offseason winner as he heads into his third year in the NFL. Williams, the first overall pick in 2024 out of USC, had a trying first year in the NFL. But in Year 2 in 2025 in his first season with head coach Ben Johnson calling the plays, Williams improved, throwing for 3,942 yards, 27 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 17 starts. Barbieri writes that Williams is poised for another jump in his development while working in the same scheme for a second straight year. The third-year signal-caller continued to make plays during offseason workouts and has plenty of talent on offense around him, despite the loss of receiver DJ Moore in the offseason. The biggest improvement last year came in the sack department, as Williams took only 24 sacks after leading the league with 68 as a rookie. Although Williams' completion percentage dropped from 62.5% to 58.1%, his arrow is pointing firmly up in redraft and dynasty/keeper fantasy leagues. RotoBaller has Williams ranked as the No. 7 fantasy QB for 2026.
