I know it isn't the sexiest thing to imagine when thinking about this offense, but I can't help but think of the possibilities in terms of a rushing attack. A high % check-down attack using Boyd and Hurst (and Mixon) when Higgins and Chase are clearing things out. Sure, I love a deep ball to Chase as much as anyone, but having a consistent, grinding offense where Burrow is patient and just takes what a defense gives them will be REALLY frustrating for the opponent.
I can see a lot of teams being like: "You aren't beating us over the top!" and have two safeties really deep, and then guys like Boyd, Hurst, and Mixon/Evans just eat them alive underneath as well as just a more successful rushing attack.
All that being said, I am still holding out hopes that William Fuller IV is signed as WR4. That dude on the field WITH Chase and Higgins would be a blast, and I think he could play fewer snaps, have some big plays, and up his value for next season. I know the Bengals really liked him coming out of the draft, and due to his inability to stay healthy, I think he could be signed for a fairly cheap amount.

Watch out for Stewy if he sees this. He absolutely wants no part of Will Fuller. I would be fine with it. He might actually
stay healthy with much less snaps and he does provide the speed we need if he can stay healthy. Should be cheap as you
say SHRacer cause of his injured past which is also a reason why he might come here if those other teams don't want to
gamble on his health.
