Bengals WRs Ja'Marr Chase (concussion) and Tee Higgins (groin, neck) missed Wednesday's practice. We're projecting both guys to miss this weekend's game vs. the Dolphins but will keep you updated on their statuses. WR Colbie Young (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday after missing Week 4. His return could complicate Cincinnati's WR corps for fantasy owners hoping to spot-start Dohnte Meyers or Mitchell Tinsley.
Bengals WR Andrei Iosivas is heading to IR due to a torn ligament in his thumb, HC Zac Taylor said. Iosivas is out at least the next 4 games but is expected back this season, Taylor added. Iosivas had remained Cincinnati's No. 3 WR through 2 weeks. His absence opens up those snaps for WRs Dohnte Meyers and Colbie Young. We'll see how playing time shakes out between those guys in Week 3 and beyond. Neither is a fantasy option right now, but an injury to Ja'Marr Chase or Tee Higgins could change that.
The Cincinnati Bengals selected Georgia WR Colbie Young in Round 4 of the 2026 NFL Draft. A no-star recruit out of high school, Young started his college career at Lackawanna. After posting a 24-472-9 line in 2021, he made a big step up in class at Miami. Young made an immediate impact there, leading the Canes with 5 receiving scores and ranking second on the team with 367 receiving yards in 2022. He finished third in catches (47), yards (563), and TDs (5) as a sophomore. Young then transferred to Georgia, where his career got off track. He was suspended from the team and missed the final 9 games of 2024 after being arrested for battery and assault. (Young eventually pled no contest to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct and received 12 months probation.) Then he missed six games this past year with a fractured left fibula. When he was on the field, Young averaged just 2.8 catches and 39.0 yards per game. He at least averaged a career-best 2.30 yards per route last year. Young goes 6’5, 218 pounds with deceptive speed and quickness. His route running needs work, but the size and early-career production make Young worth monitoring.
