Maybe best WRs Burrow will ever have

And it won't be just because Chase has everyone's attention Tee will be great all by himself.

Boyd always does the dirty work underneath, great player.

Hayden Hurst will open things up with his crisp routes that we haven't had from a TE since Eifert in 2015.

I don't think Hurst will get many more targets than Uzo did just because our WRs are so good.

But on the other hand there could be "inflation" just because everyone's stats are going up a little if this o-line stays healthy.

In '21 Bengals were #7 in the league in passing yards over 800 yards behind the league leader.  Since Zac likes to run the ball I doubt we will lead the league in passing yards, but I'd be surprised if we don't have 400-500 more this year.  When you have Joe burrow and these weapons it would be crazy not to use them.

So Hurst will probably have more yards than CJ did last year.
