Obviously Green & Eifert are the top two. I'd put Gio 3rd, and Boyd 4th (which might be pushing it now, but he will grow into this role as the year progresses). 5th, I'd say at this point, until Cody Core is ready, we have to go with either Kroft or Uzomah. I don't think Kroft is fully healthy yet, and I'm a bit concerned about Uzomah's dropsies, but he has shown some production so far this year.
So imagine those 5 in the Red Zone, with Gio in the backfield, Green & Boyd Outside, and Eifert & Uzomah lined up at double TEs. Lots of versatility here, you can run to Gio with 2 TEs blocking, you can split one or more TE or Gio outside, and attack a lot of different ways.
I would replace Hill with Gio honestly. Gio doesn't get too many TDs deep in the redzone. Most of the TDs he gets is from a 10+ yard gain.
