Heyward-Bey’s touchdown was his first since Week 10. His 56-yarder marked the second-longest catch for him in 2012.
Fantasy Impact: Only Rod Streater saw more targets than DHB throughout the night. He also tied Denarius Moore with six looks overall from Carson Palmer.
We’ve seen a rather inconsistent Heyward-Bey this season, but it’s clear he has the ability to take it to the house if he gets out in space. He’s still hard to start on a regular basis, though.
