Tee Higgins Looking to Bounce Back from Subpar Week 1 Effort

Saturday, September 13, 11:21 AM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught three of his four targets for 33 yards in the win over the Cleveland Browns. The wideout has been known to have some off weeks throughout his career. However, he wasn't the only one who struggled, with Joe Burrow throwing for 113 yards. Teammate, Ja'Marr Chase, didn't play much better, with the former LSU Tiger amassing only two grabs. All things considered, the Bengals likely did some work during the week leading up to Sunday's clash with the Jacksonville Jaguars, meaning there is a good chance the offense turns it around. While that doesn't mean Higgins will see the most attention from Burrow in Week 2, there's still reason to believe he'll perform at a higher level, considering Sunday's contest may be the highest-scoring game on the schedule.

Michael Pittman Jr. Takes a Back Seat in Week 2 Win

Monday, September 15, 8:39 PM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. turned in a modest outing in his team's 29-28 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 2. After an encouraging Week 1 that saw him catch six balls for 80 yards and a touchdown, Pittman caught four of his five targets for just 40 yards against the Broncos. Of course, Pittman had to contend with lockdown corner Patrick Surtain II for much of the afternoon, which may have led Daniel Jones to look elsewhere when he dropped back to pass. With a Week 3 road matchup against the Tennessee Titans, Pittman is likely to operate as a decent WR4 with upside moving forward.
