The Cincinnati Bengals don't have a clear WR starter opposite A.J. Green after Jerome Simpson departed in free agency, and may not intend to have one. QB Andy Dalton hinted to ESPN that the team may use a receiver-by-committee approach, rotating the spot between Brandon Tate, Armon Binns and Mohamed Sanu. Offensive coordinator Jay Gruden was mum on the issue, simply saying, "My play calling won’t alter one bit if Sanu, Armon or Tate is out there."
Bengals May Rotate Players At #2 WR Position: Fantasy Implications
The Bengals don’t have a clear-cut #2 receiver, but will they even use one? We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: Whoever wins this job will be in the unenviable position of trying to draw attention away from Green and TE Jermaine Gresham. Tate is currently listed on top of the depth chart, but has been hampered by a hamstring injury most of camp, potentially leaving the door open for Binns. The most intriguing option is 3rd-round rookie Sanu, who's been slowly gaining buzz through the summer. Fantasy players will want to keep a close eye on this battle as it plays out through the preseason.
