Takeaways:

Look, I'm all for discipline and holding people accountable. But I don't want to see my fantasy superstars opening the game on the bench, especially when I have a big matchup. However, maybe Monday night's first-series benching was a good thing for George Pickens, who had one of the best games I have ever seen him play (9 catches for 144 yards, TD). This was the guy everyone touted when he was coming into the league. I know the offseason doesn't have much to do with your current fantasy lineup (you're starting him, duh), but what do the Cowboys do with Pickens in the offseason, when he's due to hit free agency? I'd say you pay up for him. But at the same time, shelling out big bucks for wide receivers hasn't worked out so well for the Bengals so far this season. It will be interesting to see which direction Dallas chooses.
By the way, being benched, scoring a touchdown and then capping it off by drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for a TD celebration is what I like to call the George Pickens trifecta.
Oh, and CeeDee Lamb, I'm going to need you to hold on to that football. I'm glad his fourth-quarter drop near the goal line didn't cost me in my fantasy league, but I know it cost somebody. Was it you?
Ashton Jeanty has rough matchups -- against the Eagles and Texans -- in the first two weeks of the fantasy playoffs, if you're looking for a player to trade. He was tackled in the end zone for a safety on Monday night, which was one of the most on-brand things for the Raiders. Can't believe it. No, wait. I certainly can believe it.
I'm interested in Saquon Barkley's matchup against the Cowboys this week. I don't want to be 100 percent sold on the new Dallas defense, but it did look pretty sweet on Monday night. The Raiders didn't really try to run the ball, though. But I digress. The thing I'm worried about for the Eagles is the injury to Lane Johnson. That could have a huge impact.
I'm hoping the Eagles give some love to DeVonta Smith against the Cowboys. That's a matchup I truly do love. Dallas has allowed the third-most fantasy PPG to wide receivers this season and the most TD passes to WRs (17).
I feel like I was the lone voice who stuck with TreVeyon Henderson through it all this season. I never wavered. But I do wonder how much Rhamondre Stevenson is going to eat into Henderson's workload upon his return from injury. Not that I'm worried about it this week. Henderson has the second-most fantasy points among running backs in the last two weeks. And this week the Patriots visit the Bengals, who have allowed the most fantasy PPG to running backs this season. I might even start James White and LeGarrette Blount. (I'm not. Both of those guys are retired.)
I love Jameson Williams this week against the Giants. The G-Men have allowed the fourth-most receiving yards to wide receivers and the sixth-most fantasy PPG to the position.
