For some reason people think I am bashing hurst when I say he won't put up big numbers with the Bengals. What I am actually saying is that no TE (except maybe someone like Kelce or Gronkowski) will put up big numbers with the Bengals as long as Chase, Higgins, Boyd, and Mixon are healthy. Hurst may have slightly better numbers than CJ just because as a team we thrown for a lot more yards, but he is not going to bust off a 800+ yard season.
Honestly I don't want him taking targets away from the other stars. The 3 WRs are all MUCH better receiving threats than Hayden and Mixon is better with the ball in his hands.
BTW Mixon had 31 receptions over his last 6 games. That is a pace to catch 88 passes in a 17 game season. I don't think Joe will get that many but I predict he will play a much bigger role in the passing game this year. I'd like to see him get 60 receptions.
