3 Bengals Players to Skip in Your Fantasy Football Draft
As fantasy football season approaches, here are three Cincinnati Bengals players to avoid in your draft:
- CJ Uzomah/Drew Sample (TE)
- Combined for only 2 touchdowns last season
- Split playing time reduces individual value
- Limited targets with Chase, Boyd, and Higgins as primary receivers
- Historically low TE production since Tyler Eifert's departure
- Bengals Defense
- Ranked 26th in yards allowed per game (389.38)
- 22nd in points allowed per game (26.5)
- 27th in takeaways (17)
- No major defensive additions from draft
- Expect high-scoring shootout games
- Joe Mixon (RB)
- Only played 6 games last year due to injury
- Averaged just 70 yards per game in past two seasons
- Only 8 touchdowns in 22 games
- Unchanged offensive line concerns
- Pass-heavy offense limits rushing opportunities
- Consider only if available in 3rd or 4th round
QB Outlook: Joe Burrow could be a solid late-round pick due to:
- High passing volume expected
- Strong receiving corps
- More NFL experience
- Best as a backup/streaming option
The Bengals' passing game offers potential, but spreading targets between Chase, Boyd, and Higgins makes individual production unpredictable. Success heavily depends on Burrow's health behind an uncertain offensive line.
