A fourth-round pick out of Georgia, Young brings big-time size (6-foot-5, 218 pounds) to the Bengals' receiving room, but he should not be drafted outside of Dynasty leagues.

If Young carves out a role early in the season, maybe he'll be worth an add, but there is no need to draft Young at this point.
