2025 Fantasy Outlook
After a shockingly dominant start to his career in 2023, the third-round pick put up nearly identical numbers last season: 62 tackles, including 7.5 sacks, a pass defense and a forced fumble. Young was aided by Jared Verse stepping in alongside him to provide a two-headed monster at outside linebacker that kept opposing quarterbacks on their toes on every snap. The Rams spent a third-round pick on Josaiah Stewart to solidify the depth chart behind the talented duo, and Young should continue to act as a pillar on defense for the Rams in Year 3.

Expected to play Sunday
Young (knee) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
The third-year linebacker has missed back-to-back practices while recovering from a knee injury, but head coach Sean McVay told reporters Thursday that he expects Young to play in Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks, per Greg Beacham of the Associated Press. Young's participation in Friday's practice will play a factor in whether he is tagged with an injury designation heading into Sunday's contest.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
The Rams were able to find elite talent in the third round of the 2023 Draft with Young, who stepped into a starting role and produced a solid 61 tackles, 8.0 sacks and two forced fumbles while starting all 17 games for a young Rams defense. He'll have a new face alongside him at outside linebacker, as L.A. used its first-round pick on Jared Verse, who should be helpful addressing the pass rush after Aaron Donald's retirement. Expect Young to be one of the core pieces of the Rams defense along with LB Ernest Jones and DL Kobie Turner.
