It's hard to find any major outlet that thinks the Bengals' 2025 offensive line will be competent, let alone good. Football Insights put together composite rankings so far for all 32 units this season and Cincinnati is largely viewed as the second-worst offensive line in the NFL.

Only the Houston Texans ranked worse on projections from FTN, Pro Football Focus, Fantasy Points, and Sharp Football Analysis.

The unit has a ton to prove after adding a journeyman and draft picks this offseason. A lot is riding on Lucas Patrick and whoever else mixes in for the starting guard positions after Cincinnati played the worst pair of guards in the NFL last season.
