Following Young’s latest performance in a Sunday Night Football win over the Lions, he’s up to a league-leading 1,268 passing yards. He completed 29 of 41 pass attempts for 329 yards and 2 TDs without an INT, while adding an extra 3 yards on the ground. Young finished Week 4 as a QB1 for the third time across the first four weeks.
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: McMillan Connection Is Humming
Young took full advantage of a Lions defense that had allowed the most points to QBs entering this week.
Young has now produced at least 280 yards in each of his first four starts and is averaging a league-leading 317 passing yards per game pending Monday Night Football.
The Panthers QB found his top WR Tetairoa McMillan 16 times, completing 14 of those passes on his way to supporting the highest WR scoring game of the season with 45.2 PPR points.
We won't see Young again until the Panthers' Week 6 matchup with the Eagles because of their Week 5 bye, but hopefully with WR Jalen Coker back from his quad injury.
