Joey Clutch! Burrow's fourth-down lob hits Uzomah for 32 yards Joey Clutch! Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow's fourth-down lob hits tight end T.J. Uzomah for 32 yards.
Tyler Boyd - Three catches in Week 1 win Boyd caught three of four targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Vikings.
Impact Boyd was overshadowed by fellow wide receivers Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase, who each topped the 50-yard mark with a touchdown. The slot specialist has racked up at least 76 catches and 108 targets in each of the past three seasons, so Boyd should be more involved in Week 2 against the Bears and beyond. He's a nice buy-low trade candidate after this quiet season debut, especially since quarterback Joe Burrow looks fully recovered from last year's knee surgery.

Ja'Marr Chase - Leading receiver in terrific debut Chase caught five of seven targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Vikings.
Impact Chase had an underwhelming camp, but the rookie fifth overall pick stepped his game up in his NFL debut, bursting by the defender on a go route for a 50-yard touchdown in the final minute of the first half. He finished as the team leader in catches, targets and receiving yards. Chase's chemistry with quarterback Joe Burrow dates back to their days together at LSU, and the electric rookie will look to build on this strong first impression in Week 2 against Chicago.

Tee Higgins - Scores TD, avoids injury Higgins caught four of five targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Bengals.
Impact Higgins went into the locker room for an IV in the second half but was able to return. He got the Bengals on the board with a two-yard touchdown 1:51 before halftime, but Higgins' touchdown was overshadowed by Ja'Marr Chase's 50-yard score 1:16 later. While the two outside receivers were both much more involved than slot dynamo Tyler Boyd in the season opener, all three members of this trio will be viable fantasy options in Week 2 against the Bears.

Joe Burrow - Tosses two TDs in triumphant return Burrow completed 20 of 27 passes for 261 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over Minnesota. He added two yards on one rushing attempt.
Impact After failing to generate any points for most of the first half, Burrow tossed a pair of touchdowns in the final two minutes before halftime. He found Tee Higgins for a two-yard score with 1:51 remaining, then connected with rookie fifth-overall pick Ja'Marr Chase for a 50-yard touchdown just 1:16 later. Burrow was largely quiet besides that burst but did enough to lead his team to the overtime win after Minnesota overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit -- his 32-yard pass to C.J. Uzomah to convert 4th-and-1 in the final minute of overtime set up Cincinnati's game-winning field goal. Most importantly, the second-year quarterback looked healthy and comfortable in his return from season-ending knee surgery, though he did spend some time on the stationary bike, per Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer. Burrow and the Bengals will travel to Chicago in Week 2.
