Quarterback Rank: #42
Overall: #237
Young landed with the Eagles last season and actually got some starts because of injury. Unfortunately, he did little to show his career is ripe for a turnaround. He really struggled with turnovers, having nine interceptions to four touchdowns in three starts. He did have a 400-yard game in one of his starts but only scored a touchdown in that game. Young certainly has ability and won many games in the past but his days as an every-week starter in the NFL seem about over - even at age 29. For his career, Young's highest passing yardage total is 2,546 and his career high in touchdowns is 19. He will help running the ball, though, having 1,459-rushing yards for his career. Young can run, but he also has a strong arm and does a good job of throwing on the go. He still doesn't read defenses well and struggles with some decision making. Young will compete for the top backup job in Buffalo this season, likely serving as the No. 2 for the Bills.

Young proved last season he isn't going to be much of a help to fantasy teams going forward - even if he lands another starting gig. He struggles in the red zone to make plays. Young might help because of his rushing totals but they aren't good enough to outweigh his troubles throwing the ball. |
