Ja'Kobi Lane vs. Bengals — Expanding Role in a High-Scoring Matchup
After returning from a fractured wrist that landed him on injured reserve, rookie Ja'Kobi Lane stepped right into Baltimore's starting lineup in Week 6, hauling in four of five targets for 40 yards. He is established as an outside receiver alongside Zay Flowers, though quarterback Lamar Jackson's questionable status due to an ankle injury is an important situation to monitor.
Our models project Lane for roughly two receptions and 28 receiving yards against Cincinnati in an environment with plenty of shootout potential. While his 29% roster rate reflects growing excitement, his modest target volume keeps him primarily as a bench stash or deep-league gamble rather than a reliable starting option.

Kyle Pitts Sr. vs. 49ers — Red-Zone Momentum in a Projected Shootout
Pitts operates as Atlanta's primary tight end and enters Week 7 with surging momentum, having hauled in 10 receptions for 102 yards and three touchdowns over his last two games. His recent resurgence has restored fantasy trust, driving his start rate up from 22% earlier this month to 58%.
Facing an undefeated 49ers squad in a matchup with strong shootout potential, Pitts brings clear TE1 upside despite our conservative baseline projection of 9.1 fantasy points on roughly four targets and 30 yards. Given his recent red-zone usage, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into starting lineups across most formats.
