Young (Underdog ADP 215.9, DraftKings ADP 230) is fighting for scraps at receiver behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, who comprise arguably the best 1-2 tandem in the league. Andrei Iosivas has played plenty of snaps in recent seasons with minimal box-score production. The source theorizes that the Bengals need a credible receiving threat in the third-receiver role, and Young qualifies. A fourth-round pick, Young impressed in camp and preseason with measurables nearly identical to Tee Higgins's, positioning him as a logical replacement if Higgins misses time.

Young, the Bengals' second fourth-round draft selection, underperformed in the preseason finale with just 1 reception for 9 yards on 19 snaps. The source notes that fellow wide receiver Dohnte Meyers earned a larger role despite playing only 9 snaps (3 catches for 51 yards), and projects Young as a likely game-day inactive early in the season. The source acknowledges Young remains 'a big part of the future' but indicates Meyers has outperformed him in preseason competition.

Young, the Bengals' second 4th-round draft selection, underperformed in the preseason finale with just 1 reception for 9 yards on 19 snaps. The source projects him as likely game-day inactive early in the season because fellow wide receiver Dohnte Meyers has earned a larger role over him to start the season. Meyers had 3 catches for 51 yards on only 9 snaps, demonstrating superior efficiency and role security. While the source notes Young is still a big part of the future and both players will get opportunities throughout the year, his early-season role is diminished.
