The 2026 season is just around the corner, and the hype surrounding this Cincinnati Bengals team continues to spike as week one approaches.
The new and improved roster, specifically on the defensive side, has created quite a bit of hype, but let’s not forget about that offense.
The large majority of the offense from 2025 is set to return for the new season, including the entire offensive line, Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Chase Brown, a healthy Joe Burrow, and others.
Most media outlets enjoy spinning unfair narratives about the Bengals team, but no one can deny the talent in the wide receiver room in Cincinnati.
ESPN’s Mike Clay recently shared his rankings for wide receiver rooms across the NFL going into the 2026 season, and the Bengals rank at the top of the list.

Chase, Higgins, Andrei Iosivas, Mitch Tinsley, and rookie Colbie Young pack the room of weapons for Burrow.
Tinsley had quite a few bright moments in 2025, but the hype during training camp so far has been Georgia rookie Colbie Young.
Young has made some tremendous plays that should earn him playing time pretty quickly, especially if Iosivas doesn’t step up to the plate as the WR3.
No matter what, though, this unit is a blast to watch and is just as loved going into the new year.
