Young's benching this week opens a buy-and-sell opportunity for the former 1.01 quarterback, who lasted only two games into his second season in Carolina. The trade market for Young was tepid in the offseason but still offering both sides of the market potential this week off the news.
Here are a few key Young trades this week with him as a buy-and-sell valuation and recommendation:

- Buy Young, 3rd for 2nd
- Buy Young for Cam Akers
- Buy Young, 1st for Isiah Pacheco
