Use Le’Veon Bell more as a receiver

The Jets got Le’Veon Bell involved in the passing game on more than just check-downs against the Raiders. Bell corraled all five of his targets for 59 yards – three of which went for first downs – and finished with a 92.1 Pro Football Focus receiving grade. The offense looked more dynamic with Bell catching passes as a receiver, and the Jets need to build that into a gameplan against a defense that allows the most yards per completion (13.6). 

It shouldn’t be hard to outwit the Bengals but lining Bell up as a receiver adds a whole new level to the Jets offense that will only help them down the stretch. It’ll also allow them to use Bilal Powell and Ty Mongtomery more out of the backfield and reduce Bell’s wear and tear.
