The Cincinnati Bengals enter Week 6 with a 1-4 record and a sense of desperation after a shootout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Under the bright lights of Sunday Night Football, the Bengals will look to claw out a win to get to a halfway respectable 2-4 record before all hope of a trip to the playoffs is lost.
Over on the Packers' side of things, three wins in five makes for much better reading than the Bengals' record, and the franchise appears to be high on Jayden Reed this year.
Will the Packers WR keep the streak going into Week 6? Here's all you need to know about his fantasy projection.
Jayden Reed fantasy outlook for Week 6
Last week, Reed racked up 97 scrimmage yards but it was comfortably one of his worst games of the season. Jordan Love still looks rusty since making his comeback from an MCL sprain, but there's a lot of hope for this Packers offense that's just starting to click.
In Week 6, the Packers will face a not-so-impressive Cardinals defense and one that will struggle to contain the Packers' weapons, especially Reed.
Through five weeks of football, the electric Reed has emerged as the Packers' WR1. While he may not have much volume in a democratized offense like Green Bay's, we have seen Love turn to Reed more and more when they need to get going. Expect big things from Reed against Arizona on Sunday.
Tee Higgins fantasy outlook for Week 6
Higgins caught nine of his 14 targets for 83 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-38 overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens. It's fair to say this was his breakout game, but the fact that the Bengals couldn't pick up the W will have stung.
So far, you could argue that three of the Bengals' four losses were close and honestly, they could have gone either way. The Bengals lost against the Ravens due to a missed field goal. In the 26-25 loss to Kansas City, a penalty cost the Bengals dearly. Week 1 was a freak loss but again, the drop by tight end Tanner Hudson doomed their chances.
The Bengals need a win heading into Week 6's matchup against the New York Giants, and this offense is really not a problem for Cincinnati. We've also seen Higgins' targets increase every week he's been on the field.
He may not have a nine-catch, two-TD night against the Giants, but you can still count on him to deliver this week.
Jayden Reed or Tee Higgins: Final verdict
We're high on Reed and Higgins this week, but Reed's matchup is more encouraging since we're looking for points.
Sportskeeda's Start/Sit optimizer is also of the same opinion, projecting a return of 15.1 points for Reed against Higgins' 13.3 points.
