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 (TEs)
- Combined for only 2 touchdowns last season
- Will likely split playing time
- Limited targets due to strong WR corps (Chase, Boyd, Higgins)
- Bengals haven't had reliable TE production since Tyler Eifert
- 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/game in past two seasons
- Only 8 touchdowns in 22 games
- Same struggling offensive line as last year
- Pass-heavy offense limits rushing opportunities
- Only consider if available in rounds 3-4
QB Outlook: Joe Burrow could be a solid late-round pick due to:
- High passing volume expected
- Strong WR weapons
- More NFL experience
- Risk factors: Coming off injury, offensive line concerns
The Bengals offense has multiple talented weapons but spreading targets between Chase, Boyd and Higgins makes individual production unpredictable. Success heavily depends on Burrow staying healthy behind an uncertain offensive line.
