Burkhead to Play WR?

Definitely on the shorter side but basically the same as Wes Welker or Desean Jackson. I'm sure he'll be in the slot and not on the outside.

 
I could see him working some short routes out of the slot. He's not particularly fast but he'll mainly be matched up against LBs which will help him get open. He's great at making people miss and tough to bring down so if he can catch some 6-7 yard routes and turn that into a bigger play, he could be pretty valuable.

 
Rex can do anything.

Think of New England where the split Shane Vereen out wide frequently, or in the slot. Not exactly the same role, but both can be dangerous receiving the ball, and the Bengals have other runners.

They really like him in Cincy, I hear, so this is great to see. Get him involved.
