Bengals Beat: John Ross breakout offensive player

Sep 11, 2020

Richard Skinner of WKRC in Cincinnati picked WR John Ross as the Bengals breakout offensive player. Skinner bases his choice on the return of A.J. Green to pair with Tyler Boyd, forcing defenses to shift their focus away from Ross. Skinner also talked to A.J. Green about Ross. "He’s unbelievable, siad Green. "He’s one of the fastest people I’ve ever seen, and the way he gets in and out of his breaks is unbelievable. He’s had a great camp outside of getting injured, and I’m very excited for him. He’s going to help our offense out so much."

Fantasy Impact:

An effective Ross also bodes well for rookie QB Joe Burrow. Ross has dealt with a myriad of injuries in Cincinnati, but showed promise in the first few weeks of 2019 before said injuries forced him to miss eight games. Until the Bengals offense shows it can support Green, Boyd, and RB Joe Mixon, it will be tough to see Ross as anything other than a waiver wire watch early this season.

CeeDee Lamb (back) added to injury report, questionable for Monday

Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was added to the injury report Saturday with a back injury and is questionable for Monday against the Texans.

Fantasy Impact:

Head coach Mike McCarthy is optimistic Lamb will play Monday. It’s the latest in a string of injuries for the 3-6 Cowboys. Lamb sounds like he’ll be good to go, but grabbing a player like Jalen Tolbert may not be the worst idea as a potential backup plan.

Nico Collins off injury report, good to go for Week 11

Houston Texans

yesterday · 6:38 PM EST

Texans WR Nico Collins is good to go for Week 11 against the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact:

Collins got in two days of full practice Friday and Saturday and does not have an injury designation for Monday. He was activated from injured reserve last week but was held out for one more game. He’ll make his return for his first game since injuring his hamstring back in Week 5. Collins was leading the league in receiving before his injury so expect he and C.J. Stroud to pick up right where they left off. Collins should be back in WR1 (top-12) territory.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby officially Out for Week 11

The Jaguars ruled out QB Trevor Lawrence and RB Tank Bigsby for Sunday's game at Detroit.

Related Players: Mac Jones, Travis Etienne, D'Ernest Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

We already knew Mac Jones was declared the starter, but Bigsby being out gives a boost to Etienne. That said, he's still a borderline RB2/3 in a bad offense, in a bad matchup.
