Fantasy Football Week 4: Player Outlook for Tee Higgins, Jaylen Waddle, and Broncos vs. Bengals Props

Tee Higgins (Bengals):: Has struggled with backup QB Jake Browning, averaging significantly fewer fantasy points without Joe Burrow. The Broncos defense is tough, but shadow coverage on Ja'Marr Chase could open opportunities for Higgins. Why this matters: Higgins's value is highly dependent on QB play and defensive matchups.

Jaylen Waddle (Dolphins):: Is rebounding but has a concerningly low target share. He relies on touchdowns for fantasy relevance. The Jets' defense presents a favorable matchup if Tyreek Hill draws Sauce Gardner. Why this matters: Waddle's consistency is questionable due to reliance on scoring and limited targets.

Broncos vs. Bengals Player Props:: Several enticing player props exist for the Monday night game, including Tee Higgins under 52.5 receiving yards, Chase Brown over 2.5 receptions, J.K. Dobbins over 64.5 rushing yards, Ja’Marr Chase over 7.5 targets, and Courtland Sutton longest reception over 22.5 yards. Why this matters: These props offer opportunities to capitalize on specific player matchups and expected game flow.

Tee Higgins Under 52.5 Receiving Yards:: Unproven chemistry with Browning makes the under a good play.

Chase Brown Over 2.5 Receptions:: Brown has shown pass-catching ability and faces a Broncos defense that allows receptions to running backs.

J.K. Dobbins Over 64.5 Rushing Yards:: The Bengals' rushing defense is average, and Dobbins has exceeded this total in two of three games.

Ja’Marr Chase Over 7.5 Targets:: Chase demands targets, even with a backup QB. He had eight or more targets in the last 10 games of 2024.

Courtland Sutton Longest Reception Over 22.5 Yards:: The Bengals have allowed long receptions in every game this season, and Sutton is coming off a big game.
