16. Cincinnati Bengals

player. 56. As usual the sheer depth and talent of the Cincinnati Bengals roster has begun to help them right the ship. They took care of business on Thursday Night against a bad Dolphins team. Pittsburgh and Baltimore each have suffered recent losses, so the division remains up for grabs. If the defense keeps playing like it has and the offense can run the football well, this team should be back in the playoff hunt come winter. <p>The bigger problem has always been how to win in the playoffs. At the heart of the matter is their passing game. It almost never seems to show up in those games. Now it’s struggling to show up at all. The losses of Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu to free agency are looming large. Not to mention the injury problems with tight end Tyler Eifert. A.J. Green is the only dependable weapon they have, and that’s not good.</p> <p>So it’s a natural assumption that they would be looking for help at the receiver position. JuJu Smith-Schuster is widely viewed as the other 1st round lock. He’s a target who does his greatest damage after the catch thank to his considerable quickness and agility. There is also a speed element to his game though he wouldn’t be classified as a burner. Maybe not a No. 1 guy by himself but put across from somebody like Green, he can be deadly.</p>. WR. USC. JuJu Smith-Schuster . 16
