Three Bengals who could have biggest impact vs. Commanders in Week 3

The Cincinnati Bengals (0-2) host the Washington Commanders (1-1) in Week 3. It's as close to a must-win game as there is this early into the season.

Here are three Bengals who could impact the game the most:

Wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase

Cincinnati's offense has disappointed through the first two weeks of the season, averaging just 17.5 points per game.

A big reason why is the lack of impact by Chase, who has just 10 catches for 97 yards and zero touchdowns.

However, that should finally change on Monday night, as the Commanders have allowed the 10th-most passing yards per game (227.5) in the NFL.

If wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) is out once again, Chase will get even more opportunities.

Linebacker Logan Wilson

Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels has been impressive to start his NFL career, completing 75.5% of his passes for 410 yards.

However, his biggest impact has come on the ground, as he's rushed for 132 yards and two touchdowns in the first two games of the season.

That is why it would make sense for the Bengals to use a player like Wilson to limit Daniels' scrambling.

The fifth-year linebacker has a good chance to grow his team-leading 24 tackles as a potential quarterback spy on Monday night.

Cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt

While Washington's pass attack has been underwhelming thus far, opposing teams must always keep their eyes on wide receiver Terry McLaurin.

The Pro Bowl wide receiver has just eight catches for 39 yards on the season, but that can change very quickly if defenses don't give him the respect he deserves.

Taylor-Britt, who made maybe the play of the year so far with a one-handed interception of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes last week, will likely be given the task of following McLaurin.

Taking McLaurin out of the game will force the rookie Daniels to go through his progressions or scramble, likely resulting in more negative plays than not.
