To Those Who Blame Injuries

Teams like the Saints and Rams throw to a bunch of different WR's. TE's. RB's.

Here...we hardly used our RB's and TE's in the passing game.

Let's compare target share between WRs, RBs, and TEs between the Bengals and a team like the Chiefs.

The Bengals weapons actually have more targets than Chiefs do (325 vs 288).

Bengals:
WR - 222 (68%)
TE - 52 (16%)
RB - 50 (15%)
QB - 1

Chiefs:
WR - 156 (54%)
TE - 73 (25%)
RB - 59 (20%)

EDIT: Saints are similar to Chiefs in regards to WRs but utilize RBs more than TEs.
50% distribution to WRs.
28% to RB/FB.
17% to TE.
4% to Taysom Hill.
