Cincinnati has found their franchise quarterback in Joe Burrow and he will have a great set of wide receivers to throw to early on in his career. AJ Green is back from his lengthy injury and will jump right back into the WR1 role. Tyler Boyd has had a couple strong seasons filling in and will slide into a WR2 role. After a few years of Tyler Eifert in and out of the starting tight end role, he is off the team and that leaves CJ Uzomah at tight end. Getting Jonah Williams back from injury should give the offensive line a slight bump.

Cincinnati Bengals Depth Chart FAQ
The Joe Burrow era is upon us in Cincinnati, and he will enter year one with a very good receiving core to throw to. He has AJ Green back from injury, followed by Tyler Boyd, John Ross, and Auden Tate. They also drafted Tee Higgins in the second round to prepare them for Green, potentially leaving after the season. Defensively this team has been one of the worst over the last few seasons, and it is looking like that will be the case again. While they brought in Trae Waynes and Mackensie Alexander, it won't be enough to get them over the hump. Cincinnati will get Jonah Williams back after he missed his rookie season due to injury.
