Tee Higgins

The Bengals don’t have two Pro Bowlers like the other groups on the list. However, of all the league’s top wide receiver corps, this is the only one who made it to the Super Bowl.

Ja’Marr Chase dominated as a rookie with an all-time great season. He won Rookie of the Year after a season where he totaled 1,455 yards and 13 touchdowns.

He went on to average 92 yards per game in the playoffs. It was an incredible season, and he’s only 22 years old. Because of who he has alongside him, teams will get torched if they double team him.

Tee Higgins is also 22 (as of this article), and he’s coming off a breakout season in his second year as a pro. He started 14 games and totaled over 1,000 yards and six touchdowns.

The 6-4 former Clemson wideout never has to worry about getting double-teamed.

The veteran Tyler Boyd (27) is an underappreciated, excellent route runner who does the dirty work. Before Chase and a few injuries, Boyd had back-to-back 1,000+ receiving yards while leading the Bengals in targets.

He’s a tall slot target who could be a No. 2 on any other team. Joe Burrow doesn’t have to worry about growing pains with a group this talented.
