For example, look at Mo Sanu and Marvin Jones.  When AJ went down for a period in 2014, Andy was forced to rely on those two.  They both went on to land lucrative free agency deals, just a season later.  Now, look at Tyler Boyd.  When AJ was dinged up, Andy found faith in TB, and he just landed a nice extension with the Bengals.  Last week, it was John Ross to reap the benefits of AJ Green not being in the lineup.

So, yes I can see the OP's point.  Let's just hope that when AJ Green does return to the lineup, he doesn't get re-injured due to overwork..

Marvin Jones was hurt for the entire 2014 season. They had Sanu Greg Little Brandon Tate Dane Sanzenbacher Ryan Whalen and James Wright...

After typing that I can see why 2014 was Dalton's worst season lol.
