FWIW, the Bengals are tied for the 6th best red zone TD % this year and Burrow has the highest red zone QBR in the league. I don't see a need for chucking low% passes to depth WR's down there.
Yeah, fades are tough because you don’t have that athletic mismatch anymore. In college you can have success with fades with big WRs because a smaller corner may not be a good enough athlete to defend it well. In the NFL, even backend corners were really good college corners. That advantage disappears.
