Fantasy Football Player Notes

The Bengals were shut out last week, but Ja'Marr Chase still did Ja'Marr Chase things. Finishing with 10 receptions on 16 targets for 132 yards is yet another great performance for the star wideout. To make things even better, Chase has the Dolphins and Cardinals coming up over the next two weeks. Although the Dolphins have been league average against the receiver position, they lack the individual talent to stop Chase. With Tee Higgins potentially missing another game with a concussion, Chase could go nuclear to close out this fantasy season.

Tee Higgins is likely back this week. Joe Burrow will be welcoming Higgins back with open arms after his monster Week 14 performance as the WR4 in fantasy. Overall, Higgins is the WR14 in fantasy points per game with a 17.7% target share, a 32.4% air-yard share, 55.6 receiving yards per game, 1.67 yards per route run, and a 23.8% first-read share. Higgins is second on the team in red zone targets (ten) and deep targets (18). Higgins is a solid WR2 this week against a Miami secondary that, since Week 10, has allowed the 15th-most PPR points per target while ranking 16th in fantasy points per game against perimeter wide receivers.
