Tyler Boyd
Odds: +850 via DraftKings Sportsbook
The Bengals had their bye week last week, while the Steelers beat the Saints 20 to 10. These teams also met in week one, so a lot has changed since then. Ja'Marr Chase is still out with a hip injury, so Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd are the wideouts for Cincinnati. Boyd has been solid since Chase's injury but has not had a great matchup. The Steelers have allowed 263.9 passing yards per game this season and have given up 18 passing TDs this season. Boyd is excellent at getting behind defensive backs and scoring on deep passes. The Bengals have had an extra week to game plan for this defense, and they definitely have found holes to exploit in this secondary.
