Washington Football Team defensive end Chase Young has suffered a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the 2021 NFL season.
Young had been off to a strong start in his second season, contributing as a near every-down player on the Football Team's deep defensive line. His presence setting the edge will be sorely missed on an already-struggling Football Team defense.
While Young's pass-rush stats have sputtered in a season where the Football Team's secondary have allowed receivers to get free almost at will, he has had a standout season against the run, grading out as Pro Football Focus' top run defending edge player in the league so far. The Football Team may have just become an even more fantasy-friendly defense to target n fantasy matchups than it already was.
