Don't cheat: Which Bengal had the highest catch% (receptions/targets)

[Wes Mantooth]

Here's a list of the top 41 Tight Ends in 2020 (I included Uzomah for the +1) and their Average Yards Before Catch:

Richard Rodgers - 10.4
Jared Cook - 10.3
Mike Gesicki - 10.1
Mark Andrews - 8.9
Dan Arnold - 8.5
Rob Gronkoski - 8.4
Irv Smith - 8.0
Travis Kelce - 7.9
Cameron Brate - 7.5
Cj Uzomah - 7.1
George Kittle - 7.0
Jack Doyle - 7.0
Robert Tonyan - 7.0
Dallas Goedert - 6.9
Zach Ertz - 6.9
Mo Alie-Cox - 6.8
Tyler Eifert - 6.6
Hunter Henry - 6.5
Eric Ebron - 6.5
Tyler Higbee - 6.4
Darren Fells - 6.4
Anthony Fisker - 6.3
Jordan Akins - 6.2
Kyle Rudolph - 6.1
TJ Hockenson - 5.9
Hayden Hurst - 5.8
Eric Ebron - 5.8
Trey Burton - 5.8
Darren Waller - 5.8
Austin Hooper - 5.7
Jordan Reed - 5.7
Logan Thomas - 5.3
Dalton Schultz - 5.3
Dawson Knox - 5.3
Jimmy Graham - 5.1
Jonnu Smith - 5.1
Chris Herndon - 5.1
Harrison Bryant - 5.0
Noah Fant - 4.8
Gerald Everett - 4.2
Drew Sample - 3.8

Now, keep in mind, these stats don't mean a whole bunch on their own.  Guys who get more work at a variety of routes will have lower averages then guys who strictly run on late downs and longer distances.  It doesn't mean they're better by any means.  Also, guys who get a ton of work in the Red Zone will have lower numbers as well.

But I think this illustrates the types of routes these guys were asked to run, and I think it gives a little more perspective.
