3 of 5

QB: Andy Dalton

RBs: Joe Mixon, Gio Bernard

WRs: AJ Green, John Ross, Tyler Boyd

TEs: CJ Uzomah

The Bengals offense as a whole was not good last season. They scored 17.4 points per game, 30th in the league. The quarterback play didn’t help. Dalton threw for 3,494 yards, 16 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in 13 games.

There were rumors that the Bengals were offering Dalton to teams but nothing has come of it. He’s the starting quarterback for Cincinnati entering the 2020 season unless something changes.

Mixon posted the second-best season of his career. On 278 attempts, he rushed for 1,137 yards and five touchdowns. Bernard had 53 carries for just 170 yards. If the Bengals want to compete, they’ll let Mixon rush the ball another 250-plus times this season. He’s a top-10 running back with a second-round ADP.

With Dalton ranked outside the top 25 for quarterbacks, his receivers take a hit to their fantasy football value. Green was out for the year and Ross was injured, Boyd was able to step up and catch 90 passes for 1,046 yards and five touchdowns. With Green back and everyone healthy, targets will be limited for the receivers. No one is in the top 25, even in PPR scoring. Green is the top option with Boyd behind him and Ross further down. Do with that as you wish.

Uzomah is listed here because he’s the Bengals top tight end. He doesn’t have the highest fantasy value. With the position deeper than usual and most leagues using just one tight end, Uzomah won’t be drafted. I’d stay away from most of the passing options on this team.
