Busts on the Cincinnati Bengals

Reasons No One Could Be a Bust

  • Hutchinson Brown: Every player on the Bengals is being appropriately drafted.
  • Jeff Blaylock: You can feel good about investing in this offense at cost.
  • Andy Hicks: All relevant fantasy players are priced accordingly or are good value.
  • Dan Hindery: The top Bengals skill players are being drafted where they should be. While they may struggle to significantly outperform their ADP, it is also challenging to see any of the key pieces busting (barring injury).
  • Phil Alexander: Loading up on Bengals at cost is a fine draft plan.
