A couple of Cincinnati Bengals (Tee Higgins and Joe Burrow) delivered top performances, as The Jokers overwhelmed Violators 145.38 to 95.24. That tandem teamed up to score 77.08 points in the win. Higgins scored three touchdowns (131 Rec Yds, 3 TD) to add 40.10 points. Burrow recorded 412 passing yards (412 Pas Yds, 25 Rsh Yds, 3 Pas TD, 1 Rsh TD) to chip in 36.98 points. Higgins also recorded the highest point total in the league this week, with Burrow tallying the second-highest point total in the league this week.
There was one player on Violators who wasn't fully in tune with his QB. Despite being targeted seven times, George Pickens could manage just three catches.
With 12 targets this week for Higgins, it means that his targets have now increased in three consecutive games.
For the winning side, a few players have been playoff studs, including Tyjae Spears and Higgins. During the playoffs, that duo has outperformed their season scoring averages by 161% and 160%, respectively. Conversely, The Jokers has a player moving in the wrong direction. The Denver Broncos DEF has fallen well beneath their year-to-date average in the postseason by 48%. George Pickens was cold in the playoffs for Violators. After registering 10.36 points per game on the season, he recorded 4.00 per game in the postseason.
Burrow went 39-49 for 412 yards and three TDs, the first time he's thrown for 400 yards since he had 428 against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10.
Murray went 33-48 for 321 yards and a TD, the first time he's thrown for 300 yards since he had 307 against the Miami Dolphins in Week 8.
With 10.00 points, Bates tallied the seventh-highest score for a K this week.
The 22.40 points scored by Kelce this week was good enough to rank third among TEs.
It has now been three weeks in a row that Charbonnet has missed his projections. He scored 10.60 points against a projected 14.71 this week.
Pickens (50 Rec Yds) scored 8.00 points, just 57.6% of his 13.88-point projection. It's the seventh time this season that he failed to beat his projected score.
