TE: Tyler Higbee, Los Angeles Rams ($4,200)

Tyler Higbee was the second-most targeted Ram on Thursday night, securing 5-of-11 targets for just 39 yards in their beatdown by the Buffalo Bills. Even though the yardage was low, I like the volume Higbee got, especially because Allen Robinson looked nowhere near the likes of a number two receiver.

The Rams’ offense as a whole should bounce back this week against the Atlanta Falcons, and if Higbee can see the same volume while potentially scoring a touchdown, he will be a value at this lowered cost.

FLEX: Christian Kirk, Jacksonville Jaguars ($5,700)

Christian Kirk looked the part of the number one receiver that Jacksonville paid him to be, catching 6-of-12 passes for 117 yards in their close loss to Washington. The 12 targets, which were eighth-most in the NFL this week, were encouraging for Kirk’s outlook for the rest of the year.

Give me Kirk as a high-floor, high-volume play this week against the Colts, in what has the potential to be a shootout on offense.

D/ST: Cincinnati Bengals ($2,200)

The Bengals got upset by the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, especially due to their five offensive turnovers. The defense wasn’t horrible, but being on the field for so long didn’t help their case. This week, they draw the Cowboys, who just lost Dak Prescott for several weeks. Their offense looked bad even with Prescott, so playing Cooper Rush should give Cincy’s defense an opportunity to wreak havoc.
