Tee Higgins Ready To Bounce Back Against Pittsburgh

Friday, November 13, 12:58 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught five passes for 32 yards and two touchdowns in last week's 34-17 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. After reeling off back-to-back games with over 145 receiving yards in Weeks 8 and 9, Higgins fell back to Earth with just 32 yards. He was able to salvage his fantasy performance with the scores, so managers should be encouraged that he was still heavily involved in the red zone. Fellow receiver Ja'Marr Chase went off last week while Higgins fell by the wayside from a yardage perspective; there are more than enough opportunities for both receivers to go off any given week. Higgins will have the chance to bounce back this week against their AFC North rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers offer a strong pass rush, but a beatable secondary so Higgins should be able to find success against them. Higgins is ranked WR5 in our RotoBaller Week 10 PPR rankings, making him a high-end option at the wide receiver position this week.

Rashee Rice News

Rashee Rice Removed From Injury Report, Should Continue Being Heavily Targeted At Atlanta

Friday, November 13, 12:24 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice led the team in targets and finished second on the team in receiving yards in last week's 35-12 win over the New York Jets. Since returning from injury, Rice has been the featured target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes and that should continue to be the case despite dealing with a knee issue. Rice was listed on the team's injury report with a knee injury this week but it did not prevent him from logging full practices all week. After a third full practice on Friday, he does not have an injury designation ahead of the weekend. Rice should be fully prepared to take on the Atlanta Falcons on the road this Sunday. The Falcons defense has been a tough matchup for wide receivers and soft on running backs, making them more of a run funnel this season. The loss of safety Jessie Bates should open things up in the Atlanta secondary, but the best way to attack the defense will likely still be on the ground. Given the matchup and recent addition of Josh Downs at the trade deadline, Rice could be in for a lesser performance this Sunday. Rice is ranked WR16 in our RotoBaller Week 10 PPR rankings, making him a strong WR2 option this week, but he may have limited upside.
