Bryce Young’s Week 1 in Carolina was a turnover-heavy affair that left the Panthers’ fantasy dream in doubt. Two interceptions and a lost fumble, plus a sputtering offensive show, drew a D-grade from an insider and raised questions about his job security. Yet the larger takeaway remains: Young’s talent is real, and Carolina has enough playmakers to rebound as the season unfolds.

From a fantasy lens, Week 1 underscored turnover risk and volatility, but also the potential for a later-season surge as the offense gels. If the coaching staff fixates on cleaner decision-making and targeted use of receivers, Young’s fantasy ceiling stays high as the schedule softens and play-calling improves.
