Colbie Young Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth WR on the sideline for now
Out, knee.
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's WR134 at 1.0 PPR points per game.
He's out, knee. Until he's back, his value is a bench spot at most.
The next favorable matchup is the Ravens in Week 7 (6th against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Cincinnati spent a fourth-round pick (140th overall) on Young, a 6-foot-5, 218-pound rookie out of Georgia who lands in one of the league's most top-heavy receiver rooms. Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins lock down the targets, with Andrei Iosivas, entering a contract year, holding the next snaps. That leaves Young buried, and an ADP near 326 overall reflects it. The projection line is tiny: roughly 3.5 catches, 43 yards and a fraction of a touchdown.
The path to relevance is real but narrow. The Bengals are thin behind their two stars, so the No. 3 job is genuinely up for grabs. Young's size gives him a red-zone and contested-catch profile worth monitoring if he flashes early. For redraft purposes there's no reason to spend a pick here. In dynasty rookie formats, though, he's a cheap dart throw whose value spikes the moment an opportunity opens.
