Should You Start or Sit Bryce Young in Week 15?
Bryce Young has taken some steps forward over the past month.
Bryce Young still has a long way to go.
Both things can be, and are, true. Over the past month, he’s cleared 15 rushing yards in all four games, taken just five sacks, and made some nice reads down the field that have put his team in position to be competitive. Also over that stretch, he’s yet to complete over 60% of his passes in a game or thrown for multiple scores in a contest.
His interception last week in Philadelphia was awful on all accounts — a bad decision, a poor throw, and a lack of game awareness as it flipped the game at the end of the first half.
The Cowboys defense isn’t what we hoped it would be, but I thought they looked fine on Monday night and all of their pressure metrics have spiked since the return of Micah Parsons. Young might be a deep sleeper in 2025 — not in Week 15.
