MATT HARMON: My last guy here is Tee Higgins, the rookie receiver in Cincinnati. Now, everybody was kind of wondering like, what's going on in this receiver corps? AJ Green's getting a lot of volume. Is there going to be sort of a change because he's not converting that volume into production? But we saw last week, Tee Higgins ran the most routes on the team. He actually drew the second most targets after Tyler Boyd. And he was used downfield as well. Sort of in that same role that they were trying to get AJ Green going in, they went to Tee Higgins.

16.7 air yards per target. And the most important thing, he converted last week, scoring twice in that game with Philadelphia. I sort of wonder if we're seeing a sea change here for the Cincinnati Bengals in their receiver room, and got a great match-up to sort of prove it here against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tee Higgins is a guy that I think could be a surprisingly high ceiling flex play here for you in week 4. Now, so keep an eye on all of those players. And remember, when you want the real deal, like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.
