MATCHUP SUMMARY

The Bengals travel to New York off a big division win at Baltimore last week. Ja’Marr Chase continues to dazzle and prove worthy of that top draft pick. 8 catches off 10 targets for 201 yards, highlighted by the 82-yard touchdown catch. Chase is the alpha on this team and only seems to get better each game. Tee Higgins has 43 targets in 5 games played this season but has only topped 60 yards receiving once this year (62) yards. As teams look to key in on Chase more I look for Higgins to have a monster game himself. Higgins showed his upside last year but has yet to put it all together this season. With the Bengals double-digit favorites vs a bad rush defense, Joe Mixon is in a prime spot to explode. I think Mixon could exceed the 25+ point game he had vs the Lions here.

The Jets will be without rookie Zack Wilson after he sprained his PCL Sunday. The Jets made a move to acquire Joe Flacco this week but it is unclear if he will suit up this week. Michael Carter has been carving out a role in this offense early on. He has double-digit carries in 4 of 5 games and good work in the passing game catching 8 of 9 targets last week for 67 yards. The Jets should be in catch-up mode for most of this game and Corey Davis is the receiver I would look to. Davis has caught 4+ passes in his last 4 games and has a touchdown in 2 of his last 3 games.

On paper, the Bengals should have their way with this struggling Jets team. The total in this game is low but the Bengals are implied to score nearly 4 touchdowns. I would look to Chase and Mixon for the majority of the work here. Joe Burrow’s price jumped $900 this week and I wouldn’t be looking to stack this game up in any way. I think using either Mixon, Chase, or Higgins as a one-off is the way to attack this game.

 

THE DFS GEMS

Ja’Marr Chase, CIN – $7,500 on DraftKings. The price tag is finally catching up to his ability but this is another smash spot for him vs a poor defense.  

Joe Mixon, CIN – $6,900 on DraftKings. Double-digit favorite and facing a poor rush defense offers the ability for a ceiling game for Mixon.  

Tee Higgins, CIN – $5,200 on DraftKings. The target volume has been there for Higgins, yet the results are yet to come. This is a great spot for him to have a breakout game.
