QUOTABLE

"I’ve been encouraged watching him for weeks run the show team for the defense and standing in the pocket, making decisions, making accurate throws with a lot of bodies around him. That showed up in the game that he would stand in there and make throws. With a good week of practice, we’re excited for him to get rolling." -- Special offensive assistant Matt Cavanaugh on QB Mike White going from making his NFL debut last week to his first start Sunday.

INTANGIBLES

Injured edge rusher Carl Lawson wishes he could face his old team and bring down QB Joe Burrow. Instead, he’s giving the Jets’ defense some insight on Burrow and Cincinnati’s offense under coach Zac Taylor. The Jets could use any and all help after allowing 54 points to New England last week. C.J. Mosley's return could help this staggering defense.

FANTASY PLAY

Tee Higgins, Bengals WR: Rookie Ja'Marr Chase has been the talk of the league with his incredible start, but Higgins has been very solid opposite him. He’s coming off a game against the Ravens with season highs in targets (15), catches (7) and receiving yards (62), and with a bad Jets defense on tap, look for him to keep getting more looks, especially in the red zone, where both of his touchdowns have come this season.

NUMBER, PLEASE

754: Receiving yards for Bengals rookie Ja'Marr Chase, most by any player through their first seven games. Chase has 128 more receiving yards than Corey Davis, Jamison Crowder, Elijah Moore and Denzel Mims combined (626).
