Fantasy Impact:

Ross is an explosive receiver, with the speed and enough intangibles to make a big impact at the next level. He might start opposite A.J. Green once healthy, as that's what the Bengals are expecting out of him as the ninth overall pick. Green will be the team's top target, but only Brandon LaFell and the oft-injuryed Tyler Eifert stand in his way of becoming the number two option. Lawson provides depth at a position they needed that. Carlos Dunlap is great, while Michael Johnson has been okay, but there isn't anyone proven behind them. The Bengals' pass rush can be better with the extra depth added by Lawson and fellow rookie Jordan Willis, who remains unsigned.
