Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is coming off his best performance of the 2025 campaign, amassing six catches (10 targets) for 96 yards and a touchdown in the Thursday night win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. While Ja'Marr Chase played better, Higgins still got things done for fantasy managers. With the Bengals one victory away from a .500 record, the club will take on the winless Jets in Week 8. New York's injury report is loaded heading into the contest. However, regarding the defensive side of the ball, Sauce Gardner (concussion) has already been ruled out. Of course, this is a tough blow for the Jets. Brandon Stephens will try to do most of the heavy lifting in the secondary. Unfortunately, that may not be enough, so it appears Higgins has a strong chance of having another potent fantasy outing on Sunday, making him a starting option in all formats.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan caught seven of his 10 targets for 99 yards during Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Buffalo Bills. The Panthers were blown out by a score of 40-9 as Andy Dalton, who was filling in for Bryce Young (ankle), turned the ball over three times. McMillan was a rare bright spot in the defeat, pacing the team in all major receiving statistics. He set a new career-high in receptions, scored double-digit fantasy points (PPR) for the sixth time in eight games, and ranks as the overall WR16 so far. Playing in negative game script scenarios bodes well for McMillan, and it appears as though he can produce regardless of whether Young or Dalton is under center. The rookie pass catcher should be viewed as a strong WR2 option heading into Week 9 against Green Bay.
