Top 5 Underdog Fantasy Picks Featuring Tee Higgins and J.K. Dobbins for Broncos vs Bengals Showdown
Miami Dolphins vs. New York Jets and Denver Broncos vs. Cincinnati Bengals: NFL Doubleheader Highlights Week Four
Bengals’ Offensive Struggles and Tee Higgins’ Performance
The Cincinnati Bengals have faced challenges in their passing game, affecting wide receiver Tee Higgins’ performance. In a significant 48-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, the Bengals managed just 140 passing yards. Higgins contributed minimally with one catch for 15 yards. In week two, he had a better outing with three receptions for 56 yards, including a standout 42-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jake Browning. However, chemistry between Browning and Higgins remains a question, making Higgins’ under 52.5 receiving yards a point of interest.
Chase Brown’s Receptions: Key Player Prop Against Broncos
Running back Chase Brown stands out as a potential asset for the Bengals with over 2.5 receptions against the Denver Broncos. Brown recently achieved four catches on five targets, marking his first season highlight. Previously, Brown recorded two catches in each of the first two games. The Broncos’ defense, recently challenged by Los Angeles Chargers’ RB1 Omarion Hampton, offers a favorable matchup. Brown’s historical success as a pass catcher, especially in late 2024, supports his capacity to exceed the reception threshold, opening doors to another successful streak.
Denver Broncos Running Back J.K. Dobbins’ Rushing Outlook
J.K. Dobbins, the Denver Broncos’ RB1, is poised for success with his rushing totals. Having surpassed 64.5 rushing yards in two of the first three weeks, Dobbins demonstrates reliability. Despite narrowly missing the mark in week one against the Tennessee Titans, he remains a strong pick against the Bengals. Known for their below-average rushing defense, Cincinnati ranks 14th in rushing yards allowed per game. With the Bengals recently suffering a significant loss, Dobbins could exploit this opportunity if the Broncos establish an early lead.
Evaluating Ja’Marr Chase’s Target Potential
Wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase’s potential for a standout performance remains high as he consistently receives volume. While his capacity for a big game can vary, his target volume is more predictable. In 2024, Chase finished the regular season with eight or more targets in each of the last ten games. The 2025 season saw his peak target share in the high-output game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite Jake Browning as the quarterback, Chase is anticipated to surpass the 7.5 target threshold, attributed to his talent and influence on the Bengals’ success.
Denver Broncos’ Courtland Sutton and the Potential for Big Plays
Courtland Sutton, the Denver Broncos’ WR1, is emerging from his best performance of 2025 after achieving six receptions for 118 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers. Cincinnati Bengals’ defense poses an opportunity, as they’ve allowed significant passing yards and ample big plays. Each of the Bengals’ earlier games has seen them concede receptions over 22.5 yards, supporting Sutton’s likelihood to exceed this reception total. Sutton’s demonstrated explosive playmaking ability further validates this favorable matchup.
