Bryce Young vs Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough holds a 6.6% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/19/2026
THE CASE FOR YOUNG
Bryce Young still has the cleanest path to a multi-year starting job, which is the real currency in Superflex even when the production hasn’t matched the pedigree yet. He’s young enough that a stabilizing OL/skill group and coaching continuity can still flip his trajectory into a usable QB2 with spike-week upside. If he shows even modest year-over-year growth, his market can rebound quickly because ‘locked-in starter’ value is sticky in dynasty.
THE CASE FOR SHOUGH
Tyler Shough is cheaper but older and far less insulated, so his dynasty value is heavily dependent on immediately earning/keeping the starting role in New Orleans. If he starts and is even average, the gap closes fast because any starting QB is a weekly SF asset, and you’re buying the possibility of short-term usability. The downside is brutal: if he’s a backup by midseason, you’re holding a roster-clogger with minimal trade market.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Take Bryce Young—more stable probability of starting weeks across the season and beyond outweighs Shough’s cheaper tag.
Take Bryce Young—age and multi-year starter odds beat Shough’s fragile profile for a rebuild.
Not close at a 25.9% Shough premium; Young is the better dynasty bet and I’d only pivot to Shough if you’re desperate for a 2026-only stopgap and can get meaningful value on top.
