Start: Tyler Boyd, Cincinnati Bengals

@ Kansas City Chiefs

The Cincinnati Bengals have really benefited from what has been a breakout year for Tyler Boyd. His emergence has taken pressure off of A.J. Green and helped them overcome yet another injury to Tyler Eifert.

Boyd actually leads the Bengals in receptions and is one one behind Green with four touchdown catches.

This week the Bengals face a Kansas City Chiefs defense that is allowing 340 passing yards per game. Some of that has to do with the fact their offense is so potent, but they also have some real talent deficiencies.

Cincinnati could find themselves in a shootout which will likely include plenty of targets to Boyd. He is someone I’d love to have in my fantasy lineup for this week.

Sit: Sammy Watkins, Kansas City Chiefs

vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Despite all the success the Chiefs are having through the air, Sammy Watkins still isn’t a reliable fantasy football option. He only has one receiving touchdown on the year while averaging less than four catches a game.

There’s always a chance he has a breakout performance. However, he isn’t someone you can count on and likely have better options on your roster.
