4. Cincinnati Bengals, Joe Burrow

RB: Joe Mixon, Samaje Perine, Chris Evans
WR: Ja’Marr Chase, Mike Thomas
WR: Tee Higgins
WR: Tyler Boyd, Trent Taylor
TE: Hayden Hurst, Drew Sample

The Cincinnati Bengals have the best trio of wide receivers in the NFL, and that nearly helped get them their first Super Bowl victory in franchise history.

Ja’Marr Chase was one of the most dynamic rookies in league history, regardless of position.

Tee Higgins has really emerged as a WR1a on the outside and Tyler Boyd continues to be a threat from the slot.

At the tight end position, the Bengals lost CJ Uzomah to the New York Jets and replaced him with former first-round pick Hayden Hurst. Ultimately, that could end up being an upgrade. Hurst had nearly 600 yards and six touchdowns in the 2020 season before splitting time with Kyle Pitts in Atlanta last season.

At running back, the Bengals have a 1-2 punch that can really wear teams down with Joe Mixon and Samaje Perine.

The primary issue here for the Bengals is depth at the wide receiver position. What would this team do if Chase or Higgins missed extended time with an injury?
