The source cites Bryce Young as an example of a mediocre quarterback who, if averaging 14.6 points per game over 17 starts, would outperform late-round skill position players in best ball scoring; used to illustrate the value of consistent quarterback production in best ball formats.PositiveUsageJul 17, 2026
Young is mentioned as a comparison point, with Etienne expected to receive more targets than him in the Saints offense.PositiveValueJul 11, 2026
Bryce Young was still on the board at pick 178 and represented significant value in Davis Mattek's best ball draft. Mattek stated 'If Bryce Young does not go, that is who I'm going to take. I'm going to take Bryce Young' and noted the potential for a last-round stack with him. However, Young was selected before Mattek's pick, so Mattek did not ultimately draft him.PositiveBustJun 20, 2026
JJ Zachariason argues there is little justification for Bryce Young being a 14th round pick given how likely he is to be benched at some point in the season. Young lacks league-winning upside as a late-round quarterback; while he will generate some rushing production, it will not be overwhelming, making him an unattractive late-round target compared to running quarterbacks or signal-callers paired with elite receivers. Zachariason further argues that drafting Young in round 12 is suboptimal compared to high-upside skill position players like Travis Hunter, Woody Marks, and Deebo Samuel who contribute weekly scores.
