From the article

Nobody saw Bryce Young turning into a top four fantasy quarterback four weeks into the season, especially considering both starting tackles Ikem Ekwonu and Taylor Moton are out of the lineup. Yet here he is, leading the NFL with 317 passing yards per game and an impressive 9:2 touchdown-to-interception ratio.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Young is QB4 with 317 yards/game and 9:2 TD:INT despite missing both starting tackles.

Young has emerged as a top-four fantasy quarterback through Week 4 despite both starting tackles (Ikem Ekwonu and Taylor Moton) being out. He leads the NFL with 317 passing yards per game and a 9:2 touchdown-to-interception ratio. The breakout stems from three factors: Brad Idzik's play-calling shift emphasizing quick processing and moving pockets; Tetairoa McMillan's development as a true WR1; and Jalen Coker's growth as a secondary option. Young has an 85.2 PFF Passing Grade and 88.6 Overall Grade (3rd among qualified starters behind only Mahomes and Allen), ranks among NFL elite in EPA per play (+0.187), and the Panthers have a league-leading passing offense.
