Browns: Schwartz and Woods
Ravens:  Proche and Wallace
Steelers: Sims and Olszewski... 

Now lets look at KC Buffalo and Jacksonville  division winners

KC:  Moore and Toney: probably the best depth,, but they still only average just over 1 catch a game, but i say they have the most talent of any WR group
Bills:  Kumerow and Crowder: these two had combined 10 catches, they pretty much went with 4 WRs with heavy TE
Jacksonville:  Tim Jones; they only carried 5 Wrs, he had three receptions. 

The one thing of note to the bolded about our division is that all of our rivals use the TE a lot more in their primary offensive plan that the Bengals do.  Taylor and Irwin have had a lot more game reps than the bench WRs of our rivals, simply because our offense is WR centric. The 5-6 WRs on this team will get reps, and with Joe Burrow at QB, you can believe that they will be meaningful reps.
