2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
Sacks Murray in Week 17 win
Young tallied eight tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Saturday's 13-9 win over Arizona.
ANALYSIS
Young sacked Kyler Murray midway through the second quarter for a six-yard loss, which forced the Cardinals to punt on the next play. Young is now up to 7.0 sacks through 16 regular-season games, and the 2023 third-round pick is one sack shy from matching his total from his rookie campaign. He'll have an opportunity to do so against Geno Smith and the Seahawks in Week 18.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
With the Rams choosing to let their top two linebackers in Bobby Wagner and Leonard Floyd depart in free agency, they spent a third-round pick on Young, who notched 23.5 tackles for loss and 12.5 sacks over two seasons in Tennessee. The Rams outside linebacker crew only returned converted defensive end Michael Hoecht and little-used Keir Thomas and Daniel Hardy from last season, setting up Young for a big role in his rookie year.
