The Cincinnati Bengals are a fantasy football powerhouse.
Fans know the big names. Joe Burrow. Ja’Marr Chase. Tee Higgins. But that doesn’t mean those in charge of fantasy football teams should just grab any Bengals player and hope for the best.

Here’s a quick look at Bengals offensive weapons to avoid in fantasy football this year.
TE Noah Fant
Fant is a big name and there’s something really appealing about him joining up with Burrow and the Bengals. Fans know the obvious: There are only so many targets to go around. But adding on to that, Drew Sample and Mike Gesicki are ahead of him on the depth chart. And if they need another big body in specific situations, that could go to Andrei Iosvias or Jermaine Burton, too.

WR Andrei Iosivas
Iosivas is technically third on the depth chart behind Chase and Higgins. But even last year, he finished fourth in receiving with just 36 catches for 479 yards and six scores. The problem is the volatility. There’s no guarantee he even finishes at those numbers again, not with the running game expected to be upgraded and names like Burton also challenging for reps at wideout.
