The Bengals completed the 53-man roster and issued an unofficial depth chart after cuts. Dylan Fairchild lands the left guard slot; Lucas Patrick is the right guard starter, though his spot remains fluid after a rocky summer. Drew Sample leads as the No.1 blocker at tight end, with Gesicki serving as a receiver-heavy option and Noah Fant behind him. Myles Murphy leads the edge over Shemar Stewart for now, while Joseph Ossai and Cam Sample rotate in the pass rush. Dax Hill shifts to nickel with Cam Taylor-Britt and DJ Turner on the boundaries.

Trey Hendrickson’s contract incentives drew attention, and the defensive backfield features Hill at nickel and the boundary corners anchored by Taylor-Britt and Turner. Fantasy angles edge toward TE and pass rush roles and early-season depth-chart usage, as a busy offseason reshapes the Bengals’ building blocks for Week 1 and beyond.
