The first option isn’t the worst idea, but Tee Higgins has yet to practice this week and looks to be in a position to miss another game. There are two routes that Burrow and the Bengals can take now – one is looking to target other receivers to give Boyd a break, or two, throw it to him frequently to demonstrate that the confidence has not wavered. The Bengals lost the game, and Boyd was obviously distraught on the sidelines after the fact. The catch would have been the go-ahead score and likely would have won the game for Cincinnati, but Boyd dropped it. The Bengals were driving down the field with less than 2 minutes left, and Joe Burrow threw a perfect pass down the middle of the field to Boyd in the end zone. I’m expecting Edwards to extend his touchdown streak to 5 games in this primetime matchup.ĭropping a pass is part of the game for wide receivers, but Tyler Boyd’s drop in Week 10 was his worst of the season. Sam Hubbard and Trey Hendrickson are both questionable with injuries and if either of them can’t suit up, it would be a huge loss for the Cincinnati defense. And for the cherry on top, the Bengals are also dealing with a slew of injuries to their defense. Cincinnati ranks 30th in the league in rushing yards per game and has allowed a rushing touchdown in 6 straight games. As for Thursday night against the Bengals, Edwards will get a favorable matchup against a defense that has been terrible against the run. Dobbins tearing his Achilles in Week 1, as unfortunate as that was, opened the door for Edwards, and he’s made the most out of it. However, the latter hasn’t happened much recently as many Jackson fantasy owners would know, because Edwards has consistently found the end zone during his red zone rushes.īesides Baltimore’s blowout of the Seahawks in Week 9, Edwards has carried the ball at least 10 times since Week 2. It seems whenever the Ravens get into the red zone, the plan is to give Edwards several chances to score before putting the ball in Lamar Jackson’s hands to either rush or find Mark Andrews or Zay Flowers in the end zone. Baltimore’s primary running back has scored in 4 straight games and has totaled 7 touchdowns in that span. I wasn’t all that interested in Edwards at minus odds, but the opportunity at plus odds is too great to overlook.

At FanDuel, you can still get Edwards at plus odds, which isn’t the case for other sportsbooks. The player who is most heavily favored to score a touchdown on Thursday night is Gus Edwards.
