From the article

The Panthers have radically changed their offensive philosophy this year. Last year, they passed at a 4.6% rate under expectation, ranking 30th in the league. This year, their 7.4% pass rate over expectation is the second-highest, behind only the Cowboys. Young is on pace for 683 pass attempts, 156 more than his previous high. And he isn't dinking and dunking his way down the field. Of 38 quarterbacks with 50-plus dropbacks, Young's average target depth of 9.4 yards ranks third-highest.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Young's QB1 production stems from Panthers' radical pass-heavy scheme shift.

Young has taken a massive step forward in Year 4 after the Panthers radically changed their offensive philosophy from 4.6% pass rate over expectation (30th) last year to 7.4% this year (second-highest behind only Dallas); on pace for 683 pass attempts (156 more than his previous high) with an average target depth of 9.4 yards (third-highest among 38 QBs with 50+ dropbacks), delivering QB1 fantasy production in a pass-heavy downfield assault.
