Bengals offensive skill group earns fourth rank among NFL position units

The Cincinnati Bengals feature one of the top offensive units in the NFL according to a preseason ranking from FOX Sports. Steven Ruiz placed the team's skill players at No. 4, trailing only the offensive line of the Denver Broncos and the defensive lines of the Houston Texans and Los Angeles Rams. The assessment centers on a nucleus featuring Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Chase Brown, Andrei Iosivas, and Mike Gesicki. These players represent a combined 2026 salary-cap hit of $78.9 million. Chase and Higgins received recognition as top-tier options for Joe Burrow, while Brown’s backfield consistency contributed to the high placement. The unit enters the season as a central component of the team's offensive strategy under Burrow.
