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.

Juwan Johnson vs. Steelers: Looking to Rebound from Recent Target Slump
Johnson enters Week 7 fully healthy as New Orleans' lead tight end ahead of Noah Fant, but his recent usage is concerning. After a strong start to the season with three touchdowns, he has cooled off significantly, managing just four receptions for 16 yards over his last two games, including a scoreless, zero-catch outing in Week 6.
Our weekly projection forecasts a moderate bounce back with 3.7 receptions for roughly 39 yards and 9.3 fantasy points in Paris against Pittsburgh. With his fantasy start rate slipping under 40%, fantasy managers should view Johnson as a touchdown-dependent streaming option rather than an automatic lineup lock.
