I think the Burfict suspension makes him safe. Despite his recent performance, his versatility and starting experience will probably be valued.

I hope he stays healthy this year and shows he could be a strong option at X in rotation with Ross.  Lafell should move to the slot to back up Boyd.  I think Core would have to have an amazing camp and preseason to dethrone the guy that the Bengals seem to think so highly of, but he doesn't really offer much as an X receiver in Lafell.  

I don't hate Core. I just value versatility in the bottom-of-the-depth-chart guys. Erickson's return experience makes him more valuable, IMO.

Plus when I think of Core, I think of Cobi Hamilton, Armon Binns, Dez Briscoe, etc...and now Auden Tate (that guy isn't getting hype yet?). I can't help that. We always have some late round WR that people love.
