As it stands though, the Bengals don't have any other receiving threats besides Green until Ross comes back. Core has been a nonfactor, only being targeted twice in the first game and none the past two. Malone has been inactive all games and needs more grooming. Boyd and LaFell are fourth options at best.
Interesting thing I've read on OJ Howard in Tampa Bay. The Bucs rotate him with Cameron Brate. Brate is used for pass catching. Howard is the blocking TE.
I expect his role to expand...but TE is just a crazy position.
