Surprised Cuts

If you look at total snaps for the season, those last WRs for most teams do play mostly on special teams

I wasn't trying to "spotlight" the Saints, they were just the first team I found an article on, to use as a prime example.  As I recall, the Rams, Chefs, Pats, Vikings, and others all do a great job of getting bench players into the mix.

In this day and age of mega contracts and sudden injuries, a team must develop it's back end talent, else be caught with their pants down later.  One of the problems I've had with the Bengals offensive coaches over the years, is they allowed Andy to rely on AJ Green like a toddler clinging to his security blanket.  I'm hoping that the new coaching staff will have Andy feeling comfortable enough to utilize his entire arsenal of weaponry on the field, on any given play.
