Bengals | Tee Higgins listed as limited Wed Dec 10, 05:57 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion) was limited during practice Wednesday, Dec. 10.
| Footballguys view: Higgins is back in concussion protocol after being tested for a brain injury multiple times on Sunday. It seems like he may need to miss some time, but he'll have to see how he responds to limited work. If Higgins has to miss Week 15, the Bengals Andrei Iosivas, Mitchell Tinsley, and Mike Gesicki would be tasked with doing more. |

Link to story Bengals | Trey Hendrickson to have surgery Mon Dec 8, 04:03 PM
Cincinnati Bengals DE Trey Hendrickson (hip, pelvis) is scheduled to undergo core muscle surgery this week and is expected to be sidelined for around six weeks, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Hendrickson is in the final year of his contract and set to become a free agent in March. He requested a trade in the offseason, before working out a one-year deal with the Bengals. Cincinnati gave him a $13 million raise, which got him back on the field ahead of the start of the season. The Bengals could sign him to an extension this offseason or use the franchise tag on him. The tag wasn't a concern for Hendrickson when he agreed to the re-worked contract. But it's also reasonable to think Hendrickson has played his last down in Cincinnati. |

Bengals | Tee Higgins enters the concussion protocol Mon Dec 8, 03:23 PM
Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is back in the concussion protocol. Higgins was evaluated for a concussion multiple times during Sunday's loss to the Bills and passed those tests, but head coach Zac Taylor said at a Monday press conference that the wideout reported symptoms after the game. That led to him being placed in the protocol.
| Footballguys view: Higgins had six catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns in the 39-34 loss. He missed Week 13 with a concussion and said after Sunday's game that he had no concern about staying in the game despite hitting his head on the turf multiple times. The Bengals host the Ravens in Week 15. Higgins' progress through the protocol will be updated when the team practices on Wednesday. |

Bengals | Jermaine Burton let go Mon Dec 8, 03:02 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Jermaine Burton was waived Monday, Dec. 8.
| Footballguys view: Burton did not travel with the team to Buffalo for their NFL Week 14 loss to the Bills at Highmark Stadium, and he was ruled out for non-injury-related reasons, per the team's injury report. The Bengals announced before the game that Burton was suspended for that game. Burton, a third-round pick of the Bengals in the 2024 NFL draft who attended Georgia and Alabama, didn't play in a regular-season game during the 2025 season. Burton played in 14 games as a rookie, recording four catches for 107 receiving yards. |

Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase finishes with 52 total yards Sun Dec 7, 06:18 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase caught five passes for 44 yards on eight targets against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. He also rushed for eight yards on one carry during the game.
| Footballguys view: Chase was quiet on a big afternoon for Tee Higgins and Mike Gesicki, but Joe Burrow was outstanding, so don't despair if you have Chase. Last season, Chase recorded 21 catches, 460 yards, and five touchdowns in two games against Baltimore, his Week 15 opponent. |

Bengals | Mike Gesicki catches TD pass Sun Dec 7, 06:13 PM
Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki caught six passes for 86 yards and one touchdown against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. He was targeted six times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Gesicki had his biggest games last year when one of the Bengals starting wide receivers was out, but last week he was quiet even though Tee Higgins was out. This week, he was a trusted receiver for Joe Burrow even though Higgins played, and played well. He'll be a what-the-heck TE1 play next week against the Ravens now that we've seen a ceiling game with Burrow back. |

Bengals | Two touchdowns for Tee Higgins Sun Dec 7, 06:10 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught six passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. He was targeted 11 times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Higgins second touchdown was a one-handed catch while being interfered with that has to be seen to be believed. He left for a concussion check, but re-entered the game and did everything in his power to secure this win for the Bengals and for fantasy teams. He'll be a high ceiling WR1 against the Ravens next week with the Bengals postseason hopes hanging by a thread. |

Bengals | Chase Brown reaches end zone twice Sun Dec 7, 06:02 PM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown rushed for 23 yards and one touchdown on 12 carries against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. He also caught three passes for 12 yards and one touchdown during the game.
| Footballguys view: Brown wasn't a big part of the Bengals offense outside of the first drive of the game - which he finished with a touchdown - but Brown also caught a short touchdown late in the first half and was still a fantasy RB1 in Week 14. Seeing what he can do with Joe Burrow even with only 35 total yards is a reminder that it wasn't a bad decision to take him in the second or third round even though he didn't help fantasy teams much while Burrow was out. Brown will be a strong RB2 play against the Ravens next week. |

Bengals | Joe Burrow throws four TDs, two INTs Sun Dec 7, 05:36 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow went 25-for-36 for 284 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14.
| Footballguys view: Burrow was authoring a masterful performance until two consecutive shotput-esque throws in the fourth quarter were picked, one for a defensive touchdown. He threw a touchdown to Tee Higgins late in the fourth quarter to stop the bleeding, but the Bengals defense couldn't make a stop to give Burrow a chance to win. Before the gaffes, Burrow was in position to post the kind of performance in a Buffalo blizzard that would have been known as "the snow game" (or sneaux game if you're an LSU fan), but instead, the team's chances for the postseason took a massive hit. The Ravens losing to the Steelers also hurt, as they have a much tougher remaining schedule than the Steelers, including a matchup with the Bengals next week. |

Link to story Bengals | Chase Brown to be busy? Sat Dec 6, 03:13 PM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown has logged 45 total touches in the two full games he has played with QB Joe Burrow this season.
| Footballguys view: This Bengals offense is humming with Burrow back in action, and Brown is a big part of that. Not only can he contribute as the lead runner, he can also be relied on as a receiver out of the backfield. Against the Bills on Sunday, we like Brown as an RB2/flex option. |

Link to story Bengals | Chase Brown set to play Fri Dec 5, 02:47 PM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown (calf) practiced in full on Friday, Dec. 5, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Last week's box score doesn't paint a clear picture, as a lot of Samaje Perine's work came late when the Bengals were up multiple scores. Brown opened the game as the team's starter and logged his sixth straight game with 100-plus scrimmage yards. The Bengals look better with Joe Burrow back at the helm. Brown is an RB1 this week against the exploitable Bills defense. |

Bengals | Tee Higgins cleared Fri Dec 5, 12:54 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion) has cleared concussion protocol and will play in Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills.
| Footballguys view: With Joe Burrow back under center, there are no concerns about firing Higgins up in your fantasy lineups. He's had a nose for the end zone this season, scoring seven touchdowns in 11 games. He makes for a high-end WR2 this week against the Bills. |

Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown (calf) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 4.
| Footballguys view: The Bengals are using Brown over the past month like they should have all season long, and he's paying off for Fantasy GMs as an RB2/flex option. A full participation on Thursday is good, but just double-check on Friday. |

Bengals | Tee Higgins a full participant Thu Dec 4, 05:25 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 4.
| Footballguys view: So long as he doesn't have any setbacks from this full practice, Higgins should clear the concussion protocol. That puts him on track to play in Week 14 against the Bills. He's a low-end WR1 if he's on the field. |

Bengals | Tee Higgins working his way back Wed Dec 3, 01:32 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion) is 'making progress' through concussion protocol, according to head coach Zac Taylor. He will be limited in practice on Wednesday, Dec. 3.
| Footballguys view: Higgins is still working through the concussion protocol. A limited session is a start, and if there's no setbacks we should see him get a full practice in later this week. The Bengals are preparing for a big game against the Bills on Sunday. |

Bengals | Tee Higgins still in protocol Mon Dec 1, 03:52 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion) is still going through the concussion protocol, according to head coach Zac Taylor.
| Footballguys view: Higgins and RB Tahj Brooks are working their way through concussion protocol, with possible returns this week. Sunday's game against the Bills will come 14 days after Higgins suffered his injury, but the play where Higgins was concussed was a very hard fall on the Paycor Stadium turf. We'll continue to watch for more on Higgins and Brooks as the week progresses. |
