Bengals WR depth chart predictions after 2022 NFL Draft

Backups: Stanley Morgan, Mike Thomas, Trent Taylor

Should anything happen to the starters, these three would be the next ones up to take their place.

Stanley Morgan has been with the Bengals since going undrafted out of Nebraska in 2019. He appeared in 11 games as a rookie but mostly on special teams. This past year, he made an appearance in all 17 regular-season games but again, it was mostly as a special teams contributor.

Mike Thomas is entering his third year with the Bengals and was re-signed this offseason because he’s familiar with the offense. When he joined the team in 2020, he had 132 yards and a touchdown but didn’t see anywhere near that kind of production this past season, with just 52 yards to his name.

Trent Taylor was a preseason darling last year and found his way onto the roster because of what he was able to do throughout the summer. He became even more of a popular player for stepping in and helping in the return game, fielding seven punt returns and four kick returns during the regular season. That will be what helps keep him on the roster this year.
