Introduction

When things seemed lost for Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers last season, he managed to close out the year stronger than many fans and bettors expected. Young reclaimed the starting role in Week 8 and performed significantly better than he had earlier in his career. He finished the season with 2,403 passing yards (23rd in the NFL), 15 passing touchdowns (tied for 23rd), and 9 interceptions in just 12 starts. Now, Young looks to take another step forward in 2025. Let’s take a look at some of the player prop futures currently available for him heading into this season.

Player Prop Futures

Passing Yards

  • DraftKings: 3150.5 (over -120; under +100)
  • ESPN Bet: 3200.5 (over -115; under -115)
  • FanDuel: 3200.5 (over -114; under -114)
  • Bet365: 3150.5 (over -110; under -110)
  • BetMGM: 3150.5 (over -118; under -102)

Passing Touchdowns

  • DraftKings: 17.5 (over -110; under -110)
  • ESPN Bet: 16.5 (over -145; under +115)
  • FanDuel: 18.5 (over -102; under -130)
  • Bet365: 17.5 (over -130; under +100)
  • BetMGM: 17.5 (over -110; under -110)

As you can see, the best value for Young’s passing yards over is currently available at Bet365, while FanDuel offers slightly better value on the under. For his passing touchdowns, the best value on the over is with ESPN if you’re comfortable with one fewer touchdown on the line; otherwise, DraftKings and BetMGM offer the best value. On the under, FanDuel currently has the most favorable odds.

According to FantasyPros, Young is projected to finish the season with 3,444 passing yards and 20 touchdowns, which suggests high optimism for the overs currently presented by various sportsbooks. However, it’s important to note that the FantasyPros projection likely assumes Young plays all 17 games — something that isn’t guaranteed due to potential injuries or where the Panthers stand in the playoff race late in the season.

Conclusion

There’s plenty to be excited about with Bryce Young heading into this season, and it will be interesting to see if Tetairoa McMillan can truly be a difference-maker for Young and the Panthers. This one offseason addition could be the key to Young exceeding expectations — or falling short. Sportsbooks are still factoring in all these variables, so now might be a good time to get some early action on Young’s futures.
