Analyst says wide receiver room is the Bengals' biggest strength

One analyst believes the Bengals' wide receivers are their biggest strength

CINCINNATI — There has been plenty of discussion about the Bengals' offseason moves. 

From signing D.J. Reader to drafting Joe Burrow, Cincinnati has aggressively addressed some of their biggest weaknesses over the past few months. 

Now that they've overhauled a roster that went 2-14 last season, what is their biggest strength? 

NFL.com analyst Nick Shook believes wide receiver is the Bengals' best position group.

"This was not the roster's biggest strength during the 2019 season, largely because of Green's injury-driven absence, but with Green's expected return and the selection of Higgins, Cincinnati suddenly has an intriguing corps," Shook wrote. "With good health, a quartet of Green, Higgins, Boyd and Ross would be pretty dangerous. If Ross ends up being the deep weapon the Bengals thought they were getting when they drafted him ninth overall, perhaps he'll earn a second contract from Cincinnati. There's a lot to like here (again, on paper). While a backfield powered by Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard was an attractive option for the roster's biggest strength, we're going with the wideouts. Kudos to the front office for remaking the secondary, too."

The Bengals have some of the best skill players in the league. Health is obviously a huge factor, but Burrow should be a happy man if he can throw to A.J. Green, John Ross, Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins and Auden Tate this season. 

Add Mixon and Bernard in the backfield and the Bengals offense could be explosive. 

The key to everything is health. Green and Ross have played a total of nine games together since Ross was drafted in 2017. 

The duo compliments each other and the rest of the wide receiver room well. If they can stay healthy, then the Bengals offense should post big numbers this season.
