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.

Woody Marks News
Monday, September 14, 6:25 AM
Houston Texans running back Woody Marks didn't have a very flashy Week 1 performance, but reading deeper into some of the involvement numbers should give fantasy managers plenty of optimism. Teammate David Montgomery had 20 touches and three touchdowns on Sunday, but he was far less efficient, averaging just 3.0 yards per carry (compared to Marks' 4.7). Additionally, even though Montgomery had significantly more touches, Marks actually played one more snap than the veteran. This was a pretty equal split in terms of snap share, so we would expect the number of touches for both running backs to level out next week. Even with Montgomery healthy, there's some standalone low-end RB3 value here. Marks' next test will be the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2.
