John Ross

After being benched for a fumble in his rookie season, Ross never had a chance to make an impact. It doesn't help that he missed time in the preseason due to injury, but if he stays healthy, he has a chance to change people's minds about him. Ross isn't just a speedster, but someone who can run routes and get defenders spun around when chasing him. If Marvin Lewis figures out how to incorporate him into the offense, he could be someone who makes a splash with one of your late-round picks.

John Ross shows flashes with first-team offense

Second-year wide receiver John Ross ended minicamp with an excellent day of work, flashing a lot of chemistry with quarterback Andy Dalton during 11-on-11 drills. Ross beat cornerback KeiVarae Russell for a touchdown reception and Ross "consistently found separation throughout the day."

Fantasy Impact

After a disastrous rookie campaign, any positive news out of Ross is noteworthy. Now that he's fully healthy, Ross-- a noted favorite of our own Mike Tagliere-- will need to keep making plays throughout training camp to have a shot at earning more playing time in his sophomore season. He's not on the redraft radar yet, but Ross is a hold in dynasty leagues.
