Fantasy Football: Two Bengals Wide Receivers Make Matthew Berry's 'Love' List

The fantasy analyst believes two wide-outs on the Bengals are going to have huge seasons.

CINCINNATI — The Bengals have one of the youngest and most talented wide receiver trios in the NFL. 

Not many teams have a player as talented as Ja'Marr Chase on one side and Tee Higgins on the other with Tyler Boyd in the slot.

ESPN fantasy analyst Matthew Berry likes the talent the Bengals have put around Joe Burrow, but he's only targeting two of the wide receivers in fantasy drafts.

"Higgins and Boyd are in for big seasons. Ja'Marr Chase is getting all the buzz but, especially considering current cost, these two (Higgins and Boyd) are the ones you want," Berry wrote. "At the moment, Chase is going one round ahead of Higgins and four rounds ahead of Boyd. In games with Joe Burrow under center last season, Boyd was a top-15 receiver in points per game, receptions per game and targets per game. Don't let his semi-pedestrian final numbers of 841 yards and four TDs sway you; Boyd is high-end WR2 with Burrow at quarterback. Higgins might even have more upside. He was every bit as good as CeeDee Lamb as a rookie, going for 67 receptions, 908 yards and six touchdowns. Higgins also had 14 receptions of 20-plus yards and was targeted seven times in the end zone in nine "full" games with Burrow. Higgins will produce for you every week, but his big-play ability means he'll also have some monster games that outright win you weeks. I'm not worried about Chase stealing targets. At the time of his injury, Burrow led the NFL in pass attempts. This defense will once again be brutal, so there will be enough pass attempts to go around. At cost, Higgins and especially Boyd are incredible values. 

Chase is going to have big weeks too, but it's easy to see why Berry is targeting Boyd and Higgins from a value standpoint. None of these guys could be value picks if you're in a league with other Bengals fans.
