Tom Kennedy News
Wednesday, December 3, 10:13 PM
Detroit Lions wide receiver Tom Kennedy has spent most of the 2025 season buried on the Lions' practice squad. However, he was pressed into action in Week 13 due to injuries to Lions wideouts Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and Kalif Raymond (ankle) and recorded four catches for 36 yards on four targets against the Green Bay Packers. With Raymond ruled out and St. Brown officially questionable for Detroit's Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, Kennedy could spend another week as the team's primary slot receiver. Dallas represents a favorable matchup for opposing passing games on paper, as they currently rank last in the NFL in both passing yards (3,234) and passing touchdowns (28) allowed. Kennedy's production upside is limited, and it's also likely entirely dependent on St. Brown's status. If St. Brown is active, Kennedy should fall off the radar of fantasy managers. However, if St. Brown is ruled out, Kennedy could be a desperation deep-league flex option in Week 14.

Colbie Young News
Wednesday, June 24, 9:26 AM
ESPN's Ben Baby writes that Cincinnati Bengals rookie fourth-round wide receiver Colbie Young stood out during minicamp this spring. "I think he's going to fight and battle," offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher said. "He's a young player, but there are things that I think he can do quickly and help us." The Bengals are looking to create more explosive plays on offense in 2026, and finding a consistent No. 3 receiver behind stars Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins could be a big part of that equation. Receiver Andrei Iosivas and tight end Mike Gesicki had productive spring workouts as well, but it appears that Young, a University of Georgia product, could be right in the thick of the WR3 competition this summer at training camp. Young has decent speed for his size (6-foot-5, 218 pounds), but he was never especially productive in college at Georgia and the University of Miami, finishing with 1,437 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns on 116 receptions over four seasons. Right now, Young should only be on the radar of fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper formats.
