But his health risk is why I was so adamant about going after OJ Howard in the draft. I was very happy with Ross, don't get me wrong, but the Bengals now are more dependent on Eifert staying healthy or the other TEs improving from last year.
Well Ross was like the best Redzone threat in college so there is that.
Malone and Core could also do this for us at WR since they are bigger wideouts.
Uzi is even bigger than Eifert, surprised he wasn't a good Redzone threat for us last season.
Just saying for the long term Eifert being injured this year a bit would make it more likely he is a Bengal for an extended period of time.
