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
Limited at walkthrough
Young (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, Cameron DaSilva of the USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Young appears to have sustained a knee injury in the Rams' Week 10 loss to the Dolphins on Monday night, despite playing 43 defensive snaps and recording four total tackles, including 1.0 sacks. The second-year edge rusher's participation in practice Thursday and Friday will provide the best indication of whether he can play through this knee issue in the Rams' Week 11 matchup against the Patriots.

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.
