Empty sets and single back sets , the 4th WR has a important role.
There will be times defenses simply will have Chase and Higgins under lock and key. Hayden Hurst is new to the
System favored by ZT. It may take him time to get acclaimated. Boyd will get his targets but this offense still needs to find consistant 4th WR

Heres what we know.
Trent Taylor. He came.up.Big with a huge 2pt conversion
At Arrowhead. ZT likes him. Seems to be a precise route runner.

Mike Thomas. Just resigned last week. Another WR ZT likes from.his days in L.A. Pretty decent hands. Has 1 TD
In 2 years going off memory.

Trenton Irwin. Practice squad WR in 2021

Scotty Washington. Good sized framed WR.

The Bengals didnt really pursue a WR in FA. Signs could
Point to the Bengals drafting a WR.
Boyd is signed through 2023 I think.
Higgins is a free agent after next season.
I can see the Bengals drafting a WR in RDs 2 to 7.
I think.that 4th WR spot is wide open.
Does anyone see the Bengals signing a FA WR at
A bargain price in the immediate future.
It wont happen but the thought of AJ Green returning
Is intriqing.  How about a Jarvis Landry...

Lots of possible solutions.  The one the Bengals will use is to draft a WR in one of the first three rounds.  They will likely go for a speed guy, that can take the top off a defense.  Right now, that is only Chase.  Another speed guy gives them HUGE flexibility in 4 receiver sets.

I haven't been scouting as much yet, but have a crap load of tape to review....(tape, haha). 

I can bet you that it will be a speed guy from the draft.
