Over a month ago, we did roster projections for each position on this Bengals team. Looking back now, one of the positions we missed on the most was wide receiver. After the news that the team is releasing Brandon LaFell, it’s time to revisit this positional group and take another stab at projecting the final roster.
The biggest change at the receiver position is that the Bengals will likely keep only six receivers instead of seven. Before camp, we had seven wide receivers making the final roster, which seems unlikely. Aside from LaFell, I projected AJ Green, John Ross, Tyler Boyd, Josh Malone, Cody Core, and Auden Tate to make the team.
