3 Bengals who are being drafted far later than they should be in 2024 fantasy football drafts

As training camp draws closer, fantasy football redraft managers are also getting closer to building their 2024 teams.

Now's the time to find any edge you can to win your draft, and the Cincinnati Bengals happen to roster a few undervalued players.

Using Fantasypros.com's consensus Average Draft Position rankings , we can identify where players are being drafted and ranked by the popular fantasy sites. These three Bengals stand out for having ADPs that feel too low.

Joe Burrow

• QB7, ADP: 59.5

Seeing Burrow this low isn't too surprising considering he's coming off an injury-filled season, but if the fifth-year quarterback is projected to be 100% for Week 1, it's hard to see seven other QBs finish with better fantasy seasons than him. He was QB5 in drafts last year when he was surrounded by a less explosive group of weapons, and a less-talented offensive line.

The arrivals of tight end Mike Gesicki (we'll get to him soon), the improving rookie wide receiver Jermaine Burton , and right tackles Trent Brown and Amarius Mims set up Burrow for perhaps his best season yet. He's at least a safer bet than QB6 Anthony Richardson entering his second year with the Indianapolis Colts.

Chase Brown

• RB38, ADP: 116.5

Of these three Bengals, Brown carries the most projection. He's set to enter a two-back committee with veteran Zack Moss (RB25) and no one outside of Paycor Stadium knows exactly what that will look like. Will Moss dominate the goal-line touches and short-yardage situations, or will Brown see his fair share of scoring opportunities as well?

What can be safely assumed is Brown will get plenty of targets in the passing game. He's made a concerted effort to be a more reliable receiver entering his second season in Cincinnati, and the team began noticing his progress in the offseason program.

They'll want to put Brown to the test to expand the passing game, which should alert all PPR managers.

Mike Gesicki

• TE28, ADP: 215.5

Gesicki is being disrespected the most here and it's not close. 27 tight ends are set up for better fantasy seasons than the super-sized slot receiver in an offense with Joe Burrow under center? I don't think so.

The argument against Gesicki is backed by his recent outputs and where he falls in the Bengals' passing game. He was TE40 last season in a dreadful New England Patriots aerial attack, and TE20 the year before with the Miami Dolphins before that unit kicked it into high gear with Tyreek Hill.

From 2019-21, Gesicki's lowest year-end ranking was TE12. The whole reason why he's in Cincinnati is to get back to that level of production. With Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins commanding constant attention on the boundaries, Gesicki should eat in the middle of the field and in the red zone. TE28 will look like a joke by December.
