Carson Wentz News
Wednesday, September 16, 8:07 AM
ESPN's Dan Graziano believes that Minnesota Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz is likely to start in Week 2 against the division-rival Chicago Bears if Kyler Murray (concussion) is not cleared in time. Former first-rounder J.J. McCarthy is the one who was competing with Murray for the starting job in training camp, but it is more about the Vikings believing that Wentz's veteran experience will put them in a better position with limited preparation time. Graziano foresees a scenario where Wentz starts this week with McCarthy as the backup, assuming Murray does not clear the league's concussion protocol before Sunday. If Wentz makes the start, he is set up for success. The 33-year-old veteran led the Vikings to a come-from-behind victory over the division-rival Green Bay Packers in Week 1, throwing for 133 yards and three touchdowns, and the Bears just allowed 361 passing yards to Panthers QB Bryce Young. Murray should not be out long-term, but in deep two-QB fantasy leagues, Wentz could be an attractive streamer in Week 2.

Tee Higgins News
Sunday, September 13, 1:26 PM
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught three passes for 59 yards in the 33-27 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1. Higgins was able to lead the wide receiver room in receptions and yards with a down game from fellow WR Ja'Marr Chase, who only caught two passes for 12 yards. Higgins and the rest of the Bengals offense were the beneficiaries of an outstanding performance by the Cincinnati defense. With the Bengals defense forcing four turnovers and coming away with a score, the offense found themselves in advantageous situations often. Higgins and the rest of the offense will likely be more relied upon in next week's matchup against the Houston Texans. The Texans are known to be one of the strongest units in the league, so fantasy points may be at a premium for the Bengals playmakers. Still, Higgins should be viewed as a strong WR2 because the ceiling for the Cincinnati offense is among the highest in the league.
