2017 Bengals positional review: Wide Receivers

Every aspect of the Cincinnati Bengals offense took a nosedive in 2017 as the team ranked 32nd in total yards. The passing game ranked 27th only averaging a putrid 195.1 yards per game. They also ranked just 26th in points per game averaging 18.1. If the Bengals are going to reach the playoffs in 2018 they are going to have to improve on offense significantly which includes at the wide receiver position.

Outside of wide receiver A.J. Green, the Bengals have failed to find a weapon to explode in this offense. The team addressed the wide receiver position heavily in the draft last season taking Washington wide receiver John Ross at number nine overall and Tennessee wide receiver Josh Malone in the fourth round.
