9. Brandon LaFell:

Surprised to see LaFell here? Well, don’t be. When Marvin Jones jetted off to Detroit following the 2015 season, many fans wondered who would replace the void left behind by the speedy receiver. Fortunately, LaFell came in and did a commendable job. He posted 64 receptions for 862 yards and six touchdowns in 2016. Although he isn’t the fastest, nor the most athletically gifted receiver, LaFell consistently uses his 6-3 height to his advantage, out-muscling defensive backs to make the catch. With Green’s graceful finesse and Boyd’s precise route running, LaFell plays his role as a possession receiver quite well, creating the perfect trifecta of receivers for Dalton to throw to. For that reason, LaFell is ranked No. 9 on this list.

8. Jake Fisher:

Last season saw Fisher step into the starting role at right tackle after playing multiple positions his rookie season. For the most part, Fisher came in and did a solid job. He was by no means an all-star, but he was the best right tackle the Bengals had in 2016. Now, with a full offseason training at one position, I expect Fisher to be even better. There’s a reason the Bengals drafted him in the second round back in 2014. If he can just improve on his run blocking, I believe Fisher has a chance to carve out a Pro Bowl type season in 2017. We saw how bad the right side of the offensive line was in the first 11 games of 2016. If he can come in and stabilize the position, the team will be much better for it. That’s why Fisher is ranked No. 8 on this list.
