Colbie Young News
Sunday, August 16, 10:51 AM
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Colbie Young continues to make noise in training camp. Dan Hoard noted Sunday that the rookie seems to come down with at least one catch of 20-plus yards in every practice, and wide receivers coach Troy Walters pointed to Young's size, strength, speed and hands as the reason. More importantly, Walters said Cincinnati's quarterbacks are starting to trust him enough to give him chances downfield. Young, a fourth-round pick out of Georgia, showed some of that in Thursday's preseason opener with two catches for 28 yards, including a 20-yard grab on third-and-16. He has even mixed in for a rep with Joe Burrow, though Andrei Iosivas still has a major experience edge in the No. 3 receiver battle. Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins aren't going anywhere at the top of the depth chart, but Young keeps giving the Bengals reasons to get him on the field. He's turning into one of the more interesting rookie receivers to watch in Cincinnati.

Kevin Coleman Jr. News
Friday, June 19, 5:17 PM
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. should get plenty of opportunities to prove himself on this rebuilding roster. The Dolphins selected Coleman in the fifth-round of this year's draft. He was the third wideout taken by the Dolphins behind Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell. Despite being taken late in the draft, Coleman could quickly climb up the depth chart, assuming he plays well. He finished with 66 receptions, 732 receiving yards, and one touchdown across 13 games with Missouri this past season. Coleman did tear his ACL in November, which could impact his availability for the beginning of the season. Once he's healthy, Coleman should get a chance to prove himself on a roster without a ton of reliable pass-catchers. Coleman is unlikely to be a consistent contributor right away, but could have value down the road in dynasty formats. He's someone to think about stashing on the taxi squad.
