John Ross 2018 Outlook
A.J. Green believes fellow wideout Ross is set for a breakout following a terrible rookie season as the No. 9 overall pick in last year's draft. "He's got his confidence back," Green said. "The way he's working this offseason is unbelievable. He's healthy and explosive again." The need to regain his confidence is understandable. Ross had about as bad a rookie season as possible: He never caught a pass, and the only time he touched the ball, on a running play, he fumbled. But HC Marvin Lewis denies he has any issues with Ross, and thinks a much better second season is in store. Ross was dealing with injuries, but even when he was healthy he found himself on the inactive list simply because the Bengals coaches didn't think he was one of their 46 best players. Ross set the record for the fastest 40-yard dash in the history of the Scouting Combine, so there's no doubt about his speed. But as Profootballtalk.com summed up: "It's time for him to be known for something other than running fast in shorts and a t-shirt. This year, the Bengals need Ross to do something on the field." Fantasy owners should believe it only when they see actual signs of it with their own eyes.
John Ross 2017 Outlook
ESPN's Mel Kiper was surprised when the Bengals selected Ross at No. 9 overall in April's draft. Kiper explained: "Ross has a smaller frame, is coming off shoulder surgery and has missed a chunk of time because of an ACL tear. That's a lot of risk for a top-10 pick. ..." Indeed, as the Cincinnati Enquirer noted, durability became as much a part of Ross' pre-draft story as the record-setting 4.22-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine. Of course in the NFL, speed is king. Remember, one of the biggest problems for the Bengals last year was a lack of weapons other than A.J. Green. After losing Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu in free agency and watching Tyler Eifert deal with injury, Andy Dalton was too dependent on Green, and it showed. Needless to say, Dalton is pleased to have added "the fastest guy in the NFL." Ross is more than just pure speed, though. He's also an impressive route runner and a guy who can do some damage in the red zone as well. He'll make the entire offense more dangerous even if his initial production doesn't excite fantasy owners. Remember: That post-combine surgery could keep Ross off the field early in training camp.
