START ‘EM

Bengals. Cincinnati D/ST. 5. player. 56. . D/ST

Cincinnati struggled a bit against the Steelers last week, but that offense is a nuisance. They’ll have a much better match-up this week when they face the Indianapolis Colts, who are an absolute mess of a team this season.

Last week, Indy failed to score a single point agains the Jaguars and that game was at home in Indy. The offensive line can’t protect Jacoby Brissett to save their lives, which should provide the Bengals with some beautiful sack opportunities.

Brissett hasn’t been awful for the Colts and it’s not his fault that his offensive line can’t block for him, but he’s going to continue to get eaten alive by opposing defenses. The Bengals have a pretty good defensive unit as it is and they should get back on track this week against a team whose offense can’t do anything right.
