Wide receiver whose roster spot is secure; the key question is snap share against Andrei Iosivas. The source notes Young received snaps during the two series Joe Burrow played in the preseason game, which was "very telling." Young possesses strong hands, runs crisp routes, and has great vertical timing for contested catches. In his preseason appearance, he had 2 receptions for 28 yards on one drive after an initial drop. The source projects Young will be given opportunities to earn more snaps as the season progresses, suggesting the Bengals "might have got them one here."

Young, a fourth-round draft pick this year, had two catches for 28 yards against Detroit and continues to show the type of size and physicality that could make him difficult to leave off the roster. As a fourth-round pick, he is already likely to make the 53-man roster, leaving just one spot between Mitchell Tinsley and Dohnte Meyers to earn. Young continues to make plays downfield and is competing for limited receiver spots behind the established starters.

Young demonstrated advanced offensive understanding and timing chemistry with Burrow in training camp, stating 'As soon as I get out of my break, the ball is there' and crediting their 'timing route' trust. The source notes Young 'sounds like he understands the multiple levels of the offense and defense beyond what a normal receiver might,' and this understanding 'shows up in just how often we have seen him makes plays time and time again so far in training camp,' suggesting emerging fantasy relevance.

4. Colbie Young seems to make at least one catch for 20+ yards in every practice. “That’s what he does best,” said WR coach Troy Walters. “Big body, strong, he can run, great hands, and I think the quarterbacks have gained trust in terms of just giving him a chance. Throwing the ball up and having faith that he’s going to come down with it and make a play.”
