Idk, personally I wouldn’t consider guys like LaFell or Simpson particularly good WR2’s.

And Boyd filled in as the #2 when AJ got hurt, he had over 600 yards as the #3 that had to step up for some games.

I think you don't consider those solid WR2 seasons because you/we have been spoiled. We're 16 games in for almost all teams so it's a good time to compare now to times pre-17 games.

The #2 WRs on winning AFC teams in 2024
Bills: Keon Coleman, 525 yards
Ravens: Rashon Bateman, 680 yards
Chiefs: DeAndre Hopkins, 437 yards
Chargers: Josh Palmer, 584 yards
Broncos: Marvin Mims, 452 yards
Steelers: Calvin Austin III, 548 yards
Texans: Tank Dell, 667 yards

Just proving my point that for all of the many MANY faults of the Bengals FO, we have been very good at getting WRs. Guy does better than every #2 WR on a winning AFC team and the first instinct is "sure, but he's not THAT good of a #2" (really just meaning he's not a 900-1000 yard WR and probably a bad team's #1).
