Cincinnati Bengals
Jeremy Hill (Running Back): Hill had another strange game being limited to 12 carries for 21 yards, he did not fumble but he was limited to 26 out of the 77 offensive snaps the Bengals played. Hill's value is dropping fast; it is hard to see him be an RB1 for much longer.
Giovani Bernard (Running Back): Bernard had 13 carries for 49 yards and caught 3 out of 4 of his targets for 34 yards. Bernard managed to out snap Jeremy Hill by playing in 51 of 77 offensive plays. Bernard's value continues to rise as he proves to be a solid pass blocker as well as a genuine passing threat.
Andy Dalton (Quarterback): Dalton had another productive performance going 20 of 32 from the field for 383 yards, 3 touchdowns and an interception. Dalton also had 5 carries found his way into the end zone. Dalton has played pretty much perfect football so far this season and may only get better with AJ Green finally finding his groove.
AJ Green (Wide Receiver): Green blew the doors off the Ravens going 10/13 from the field for 227 yards and 2 touchdowns. Green has had some modest fantasy games so it is nice to see such brilliant performance from him.
Tyler Eifert (Tight End): Eifert finished the game with 0 catches on 3 targets. This is an outlier in what has been a dominating season so far for the Bengals tight end. Eifert should lose some targets to AJ Green now that he and Dalton have established some chemistry.
Baltimore Ravens
Steve Smith (Wide Receiver): Smith was the Ravens workhorse all day. He finished the game catching 13 of 17 targets for 186 yards and 2 touchdowns. Smith continues to post huge numbers during his farewell tour.
Joe Flacco (Quarterback): Flacco finished the game going 32 of 49 for 362 yards, 2 touchdowns, and an interception. Steve Smith helped Flacco finish the game with such a huge stat line, he can be considered a matchup based QB2.
Justin Forsett/ Lorenzo Taliaferro (Running Back): The Ravens rushing game has struggled mightily early this season. Forsett finished with only 10 carries for 13 yards and caught 4 out of 7 of his targets for 16 yards. Forsett has not lived up to his RB1 draft status however he has a healthy amount of catches on the season. Taliaferro only had 3 carries and did not gain a yard. Taliaferro also had 1 catch for 6 yards; he is not much of a threat to vulture Forsett for targets or touches.
