2025 Fantasy Football Profiles
Between now and the start of the 2025 NFL season, we will post fantasy football profiles and outlooks for all fantasy-relevant players.
Fantasy Football Profile: Bryce Young 2025 Outlook
Updated: Monday, June 30, 2025The vibes for Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young are drastically different heading into 2025 than they were after the first two weeks of the 2024 NFL season.
Could Young have played any worse than he did in the first two games last season? The 2023 No. 1 overall pick threw for (a total of) 225 yards and averaged 4.01 Y/A with zero touchdowns and three interceptions in those two games. Then he was benched for Andy Dalton, and his future in Carolina was extremely uncertain.

Act II was much better than Act I
Young got a second lease on life after being reinserted as the starter in Week 8. Per PFF, only Joe Burrow (27) had more big time throws (BTT) than Young (26) from Weeks 8-18 and only Michael Penix Jr. had a higher BTT% than Young.
Carolina had their bye in Week 11, and Young was fantasy's QB8 on a points-per-game basis (21.2) after the bye (Weeks 12-18).

Fantasy Football Profile: Saquon Barkley 2025 Outlook
Updated: Saturday, June 28, 2025Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley made history in 2024 — both in terms of production and workload.
Barkley became only the ninth running back in league history to eclipse the 2,000-yard rushing milestone. While Barkley sat out Week 18 instead of chasing Eric Dickerson's single-season record set in 1984, he was only 100 yards shy of tying the record (2,105).
The Eagles rested many of their starters including Barkley in Week 18, but he led the NFL in rushing yards (2,005) and yards from scrimmage (2,283) last season. He also tied a previous career high (set in his rookie campaign) of 15 combined touchdowns.
Detroit's Jahmyr Gibbs had a monster Week 18 performance (43.5 fantasy points), but no running back scored more fantasy points in 2024 than Barkley, who averaged more fantasy points per game (21.2) than in any of his previous seasons except for his rookie campaign (21.3).
Barkley played only two games in 2020, but he averaged anywhere in between 9.2 (2021) and 16.8 (2019) fantasy points per game in his non-rookie seasons with the New York Giants.

Fantasy Football Profile: Jalen Hurts 2025 Outlook
Updated: Saturday, June 28, 2025Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been a high-end fantasy performer since becoming a full-time starter in 2021.
Despite missing exactly two games in three of the past four years, Hurts has yet to finish any lower than fantasy's QB6 on a points-per-game basis. In addition, he has a pair of top-two fantasy performances — QB2 in 2023 and QB1 in 2022, respectively.
Career low in pass attempts in 2024
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Hurts threw a career-low 361 pass attempts as Philadelphia's starting quarterback in the same season that Saquon Barkley joined the 2,000-yard rushing club. On a per-game basis, Hurts threw 7.5 fewer pass attempts in 2024 (24.1) than 2023 (31.6). Moreover, that's nearly five attempts fewer than his previous low set in 2021 (28.8).
Yes, his overall counting numbers (2,903 passing yards and 18 touchdowns) were down, but the ratios were up. Hurts set or tied career highs in completion percentage (68.7%), TD% (5.0) and yards per pass attempt (8.0), and his 1.4 INT% was only a tad off his career best 1.3% mark.
