Bengals | Gesicki catches 4 passes for 76 yards, a touchdown in win over Titans Sun Nov 1, 04:47 PM
Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki caught 4 passes for 76 yards and a touchdown on 6 targets in Sunday's 43-36 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 6.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 15.6.
| Footballguys view: Gesicki has scored a touchdown in six of seven games now, and he should be the clear No. 1 receiving tight end with Tanner Hudson and Erick All Jr. both on injured reserve. He's worth an add for Week 9 if you need a streaming tight end or want to bolster your depth at the position. |

Bengals | Chase catches 11 passes for 141 yards, a touchdown in win over Titans Sun Nov 1, 04:47 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase caught 11 passes for 141 yards and a touchdown on 16 targets in Sunday's 43-36 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 16.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 25.6.

Bengals | Higgins catches 10 passes for 155 yards, two touchdowns in win over Titans Sun Nov 1, 04:47 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught 10 passes for 155 yards and two touchdowns on 11 targets in Sunday's 43-36 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 14.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 32.5.
| Footballguys view: Higgins wasn't just dominant at the catch point, he ran with the conviction of a power running back after the catch. He is surging for fantasy with Joe Burrow slinging it to make up for a poor defense and the lack of a running game. |

Bengals | Burrow throws for 462 yards, five touchdowns in win over Titans Sun Nov 1, 04:47 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow completed 38 of 48 passes for 462 yards with 5 touchdowns and 3 interceptions and ran 3 times for 10 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 43-36 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 22.4 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 42.5.
| Footballguys view: Burrow's huge numbers were in part due to his three interceptions (all to Amani Hooker) and some poor defense by the Bengals to make this a 43-36 overtime shootout. This team wanted to have a more sound running game and defense to take some of the load off of Burrow's shoulders, but to no avail and to the delight of fantasy teams that drafted him. He'll travel to Madrid to face a waterlogged Falcons defense next week. |

DJ Turner II's injury 'MASSIVE' for thin secondary as Ward picks on Josh Newton for TD Sun Nov 1, 04:06 PM
Bengals CB DJ Turner II's injury is "MASSIVE given the depth issues in this secondary" for Cincinnati. Titans QB Cam Ward picked on Bengals CB Josh Newton for a touchdown in Sunday's game, with Newton never turning around to look for the ball.
| Footballguys view: Next week, the Bengals will face Drake London in Madrid. If Turner can't go, London could have one of his patented week-winning fantasy supernova games. |

Bengals | Burrow says replacing All, Hudson at TE will 'have to be by committee' Sun Nov 1, 11:27 AM
Bengals rookie TE Jack Endries, a seventh-round pick from Texas with 10 NFL scrimmage snaps, and blocking TE Cam Grandy, who was signed off the Vikings practice squad last week, will supplement Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample in Sunday's game against the Titans following the year-ending losses of TEs Erick All Jr. and Tanner Hudson. "Those are two huge losses for us that you can't really replace with just two guys. It's going to have to be by committee," QB Joe Burrow said. Burrow said of Endries, "All the things that we talk about in the pass game, Jack seems to see it and feel it like a quarterback does," adding that he "also brings some toughness, I think, in the run game as well."

Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase 'good to go' for Week 8 against Titans Fri Oct 30, 12:16 PM
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase is good to go for Sunday's game against the Titans, head coach Zac Taylor said on Friday. Chase, who has been dealing with an ankle injury, missed practice on Wednesday before returning as a full participant on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: The full participation on Thursday calmed any concerns after Wednesday's DNP. Start Chase in your fantasy lineups without any reservations. |

Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase back at practice Thursday after missing Wednesday Thu Oct 29, 01:42 PM
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session with what was listed as rest and an ankle injury. Chase's return comes ahead of Sunday's Week 8 game against the Titans.
| Footballguys view: Chase gets some rest in the middle of the week. He's good to go for Week 8, and he's a set-it-and-forget-it WR1 of the highest level (as per usual). |

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury and rest. Chase had not been present at the start of Wednesday's practice. The Bengals host the Titans on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: It's a rest day, so we think he'll be good to go against the Titans. Chase is always a top-tier WR1 when he plays, but circle back Friday just to check on his status. |

Bengals | Erick All Jr. tore ACL again; Taylor 'not nervous at all' about using Jack Endries Wed Oct 28, 03:01 PM
Bengals TE Erick All Jr. suffered his third ACL tear in his right knee in the last four seasons in last Sunday's win over the Ravens, head coach Zac Taylor confirmed on Wednesday. "It's awful for him," Taylor said. "He's been through this a couple of times before." With Tanner Hudson (pectoral) also lost for the season, rookie TE Jack Endries and TE Cam Grandy will have to "pick up the slack," and Taylor said of Endries: "I'm not nervous at all about using him. I think he's earned the opportunity."

Bengals | Bengals place Erick All Jr. on IR, bring back TE Cam Grandy Tue Oct 27, 01:37 PM
The Bengals officially placed TE Erick All Jr. on injured reserve with a knee injury on Tuesday. Cincinnati brought back TE Cam Grandy to the 53-man roster from the Vikings' practice squad.
| Footballguys view: The team also placed rookie TE Josh Kattus on practice squad injured reserve and replaced him on the practice squad with TE Caden Prieskorn, a first-year player out of Ole Miss. The Bengals already put Tanner Hudson on injured reserve this season, so adding depth behind Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample was important. Of course, Gesicki is the lone fantasy-relevant option at the position here. |

Bengals | Erick All Jr. injures surgically repaired knee, Bengals sign TE Cam Grandy Mon Oct 26, 08:15 PM
Bengals TE Erick All Jr. limped off the field in Sunday's win over the Ravens with an injury to his right knee, the same knee in which he had ACL surgery that sidelined him for a year and a half. Head coach Zac Taylor said Monday he is not sure of the extent of the injury, which came a week after TE Tanner Hudson (pectoral) was lost for the year. The Bengals signed TE Cam Grandy off the Vikings practice squad, Cincinnati's Channel 5's Charlie Clifford reported. "He's somebody we can rely on, somebody we've got a lot of trust in," Taylor said of Grandy. "He was really a make-it roster guy for us."

Bengals | Zac Taylor needs 'more information' before commenting on Erick All Jr.'s knee Mon Oct 26, 03:02 PM
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said on Monday that the team will need to get more information before making any comments on TE Erick All Jr.'s knee injury.
| Footballguys view: All has played a role on offense when healthy, but he's struggled to stay on the field. The Bengals already put Tanner Hudson on injured reserve this season, so depth behind Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample continues to look shaky. We'll continue to watch for more on this. |

TE Erick All Jr. sidelined by injury Sun Oct 25, 07:48 PM
Bengals TE Erick All Jr. suffered an injury during his team's Week 7 game against the Baltimore Ravens. All was ruled out with what the Bengals called a right knee injury.
| Footballguys view: All was an important part of the team's second-half comeback before exiting with an injury. As seen on the broadcast, All limped off the field and went to the blue medical tent, then eventually went to the locker room. All has been a critical part of the offense for the Bengals when healthy, but he's struggled to stay on the field. The Bengals already put Tanner Hudson on injured reserve this season, so depth behind Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample continues to look shaky. |
Bengals | Burrow throws for 292 yards, four touchdowns in win over Ravens Sun Oct 25, 04:01 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow completed 22 of 30 passes for 292 yards with 4 touchdowns in Sunday's 35-13 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He was projected for 19.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 28.9.
| Footballguys view: Burrow was down 13-0 at halftime. He led five straight touchdown drives in the second half to send the Ravens fans to the exits before the fourth quarter was over. The Bengals running game and defense raised some questions in Week 7, but Burrow reminded us that they can win on the strength of his connection with Tee Higgins, Ja'Marr Chase, and a host of tight ends. They'll face the Titans in a very favorable matchup next week. |

Bengals | Higgins catches 6 passes for 148 yards, a touchdown in win over Ravens Sun Oct 25, 04:01 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught 6 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown on 7 targets in Sunday's 35-13 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He was projected for 11.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.8.
| Footballguys view: Higgins had the monster game -- really monster half -- against a Ravens defense that usually struggles to slow down Joe Burrow and company. New head coach Jesse Minter had this defense playing well early in the season, but they are going into next week's game at Buffalo licking their wounds. Higgins will face the hapless Titans defense that gave up a 300-yard passing game to Deshaun Watson today. |

Bengals | Rookie TE Jack Endries active vs. Ravens after Tanner Hudson's season-ending injury Sun Oct 25, 12:00 PM
Bengals rookie TE Jack Endries is active for Sunday's Week 7 game at the Ravens in the wake of TE Tanner Hudson's season-ending injury. CB Josh Newton is also active again, with slot CB Jalen Davis on injured reserve. Cincinnati is going with nine defensive linemen, so edge Shemar Stewart and rookie DT Landon Robinson are inactive, along with S Russ Yeast, OT Myles Hinton and rookie C Connor Lew.

Bengals | Erick All Jr. runs Hudson's routes; Casey expects him to 'take off the rest of the year' Mon Oct 19, 09:08 PM
Bengals TE Erick All Jr. ran some of the routes usually reserved for Tanner Hudson and Mike Gesicki at Monday's practice, the first since Hudson was lost for the season with a pectoral injury. "He's a really talented receiver... We haven't scratched the surface on what we can do with him as a blocker and a receiver," tight ends coach James Casey said, adding, "now I'm looking for him to take off the rest of the year... Maybe he can capitalize on some of the opportunities Tanner had." All has caught five of six targets for 30 yards on 103 snaps this season after missing all of 2025 with an ACL injury, and he says there are no issues with his knee. Head coach Zac Taylor said replacing Hudson will be by committee, with Gesicki, WR Colbie Young and All among those who can fill the void.

Bengals | Bengals will 'continually assess' touch share between Perine, Chase Brown Mon Oct 19, 01:06 PM
Bengals RB Samaje Perine could see an increased workload in Week 7 against the Ravens after running for a season-high 68 yards on 14 carries in Week 5.
| Footballguys view: RB Chase Brown has been Cincinnati's lead back but is averaging just 3.0 yards per carry, and the Bengals' rushing attack ranks 27th in the NFL. "I think we'll continually assess how that touch share between (Perine) and Chase Brown should play out," offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher said. "Every game's different. What type of scheme we lean into is going to factor into that." While Brown remains a viable starting option, if the shift to involve Perine persists, we'll have become more aggressive with his projections. |

Bengals | Tanner Hudson suffers torn pec, likely out for the season Tue Oct 13, 11:49 AM
Bengals TE Tanner Hudson suffered a torn pectoral and will likely be out for the season, his agent told ESPN on Tuesday. Hudson has been a big receiving option for QB Joe Burrow and caught a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: Hudson suffered the injury while trying to make a tackle on special teams in Cincinnati's 31-24 victory in Week 5. Earlier in the game, he had three catches for 14 yards and a touchdown reception. Cincinnati's other reserve tight end options include Erick All Jr. and Jack Endries, a seventh-round pick in this year's draft who has been inactive in three of the team's five games this season. |

Bengals | Samaje Perine on the field for half of Cincinnati's plays Mon Oct 12, 05:42 AM
Bengals RB Chase Brown played 60% of the offensive snaps and RB Samaje Perine played 51% in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: The two backs were on the field together for seven plays. Cincinnati leaned on heavy tight end personnel while running a four-minute offense with the lead for much of the second half. Perine spearheaded the rushing attack with 14 carries for 68 yards. Chase Brown also found some success after a rough couple of weeks. The Bengals are off Week 6, so we'll have to wait to see if this timeshare persists. |

Bengals | Higgins held to 2 catches for 22 yards in win over Dolphins Sun Oct 11, 04:16 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught 2 passes for 22 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 11.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.2.
| Footballguys view: Higgins was not a sure thing to play after leaving Week 4's game with an adductor injury. He rallied to be active for this game even though the Bengals bye is next week. It won't be much solace if you played Higgins this week, but he should be close to healthy again after the bye and safe to put in lineups as an upside WR3/Flex, which is still not quite the WR2 you were expecting when you took him in the 3rd or early 4th round of fantasy drafts. |

Bengals | Burrow throws for 190 yards, four touchdowns in win over Dolphins Sun Oct 11, 04:16 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow completed 23 of 32 passes for 190 yards with 4 touchdowns in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 19.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 24.6.
| Footballguys view: Burrow had a big afternoon in fantasy leagues even though Tee Higgins was a nonfactor and Ja'Marr Chase only had one big play and that ball bounced off of his body before he corralled it for a long score. The Dolphins pass defense continues to be one we will pick on when we set fantasy lineups as both of these teams go into their bye. |

Bengals | Perine runs for 68 yards, one TD in win over Dolphins Sun Oct 11, 04:16 PM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Samaje Perine ran 14 times for 68 yards and also caught 2 passes for 10 yards and a touchdown on 2 targets in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 4.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 14.8.

Bengals | Brown held to 39 yards on 13 carries in win over Dolphins, yields work to Perine in fourth quarter Sun Oct 11, 04:16 PM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown ran 13 times for 39 yards, also caught 3 passes for 21 yards on 4 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 15.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 5.5. Samaje Perine had 14 carries for 68 yards and caught both of his targets for 10 receiving yards. Perine was the primary back on a fourth-quarter drive with the Bengals up 28-18.
| Footballguys view: Samaje Perine outplayed Brown and got a lot more work down the stretch in this game. We'll be watching the coaching staff comments closely, although we don't expect Perine to force a committee on this result alone going into a bye. It's tough to carry Perine through the bye in short bench leagues, but the quality of this offense makes him worth an add and carrying through the week off in longer bench leagues. |

Bengals WR Tee Higgins is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins despite an adductor/groin injury. Higgins said "I'm good" while in full sweat during pregame warmups, but the Bengals will keep an eye on his snaps and he will play mostly "meaningful plays."

Bengals | WR Colbie Young questionable for Week 5 Fri Oct 9, 05:30 PM
Bengals WR Colbie Young (knee) is listed as questionable on the Week 5 injury report. Colbie Young was limited in Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Colbie Young could have some value against the Dolphins if Tee Higgins is inactive. He'd fall into the desperation WR4 tier for managers scraping the barrel. With a bye next week and a cake matchup against the Dolphins in Week 5, expect the Bengals to lean on Chase Brown, Mike Gesicki, and, if active, Ja'Marr Chase. |

Bengals | Tee Higgins will be questionable for Week 5 at Miami Fri Oct 9, 12:35 PM
Bengals WR Tee Higgins will be questionable for Sunday's Week 5 game at the Dolphins, head coach Zac Taylor said on Friday, as reported by Kelsey Conway. Higgins appears to have a chance to play.
| Footballguys view: Luckily for fantasy managers, the Bengals play early on Sunday. If Higgins does play, he's a risky start for two reasons. He could reinjure himself or be a decoy. Desperate managers can force him into lineups, but he's a shaky start after missing practice Wednesday and Thursday. His full practice Friday is a good sign, but we'll hope for more information before kickoff. |

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase took part in practice on Friday and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Dolphins, head coach Zac Taylor said Friday. Chase remains in the concussion protocol but will likely play if he is cleared on Saturday.
| Footballguys view: The good news for fantasy managers is that we'll get clarity on Chase's status before Sunday's games. After back-to-back practices, he's on the right track. But check back Saturday afternoon to see whether he's been cleared from concussion protocol. Assuming he's active, he's in your lineup as an elite WR1. |

Bengals WR Tee Higgins ran routes and caught passes during the portion of Friday's practice open to the media. Higgins (groin) did not practice Wednesday and worked on the rehab field Thursday.
| Footballguys view: It's good to see Higgins back at practice after two DNPs to start the week. However, given his soft-tissue injury, the favorable matchup against the Dolphins, and next week's bye, the Bengals may opt to rest Higgins this week. If he's active, he's a risky start, but a full practice Friday makes him more likely to play than it looked earlier in the week. |

Bengals WR Tee Higgins was working on the rehab field during the open portion of practice on Thursday. Higgins (groin/neck) did not practice on Wednesday. The Bengals play at the Dolphins on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Higgins has not practiced yet this week, but let's make sure to circle back on Friday to gauge his participation level. Ja'Marr Chase is practicing, but he's still in the NFL concussion protocol. While Chase may be closer to playing in Week 5 than originally thought, it seems like Higgins is on the wrong side of questionable. |

It seems like he could be on track to play against the Dolphins in Week 5, barring any setbacks. Chase is one of those elite-level players who we play if he suits up, even if he's not quite 100 percent. A full practice on Friday would make us feel more confident. Stay tuned. |

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase is "working through protocol," head coach Zac Taylor said on Wednesday. Chase entered the concussion protocol after leaving Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. Safeties Bryan Cook and Kyle Dugger will not practice on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Chase will need to get some work in on the practice field, and then the team will need to see what his concussion symptoms are like the next day. We might not see Chase out there against the Dolphins on Sunday. Fantasy GMs need to have other players ready to go. |

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (adductor) is considered day to day, head coach Zac Taylor said on Monday. Higgins exited late in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars with the injury.
| Footballguys view: As SI.com noted, adductor injuries are tricky, as are most soft-tissue injuries, so we will have to wait and see how this week goes because we don't know the severity of the injury. Higgins had a monster day with Ja'Marr Chase going down early on Sunday, catching 11 of 16 targets for 157 yards. Higgins often explodes when Chase, who is in the concussion protocol, is out. We'll be following this one closely all week. |

Bengals | Higgins catches 11 passes for 157 yards, leaves game with groin injury Sun Oct 4, 04:16 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught 11 passes for 157 yards on 16 targets in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He left the game with a groin injury in the fourth quarter. Higgins briefly returned, but was not on the field for the final drive.
| Footballguys view: Higgins took over the pass offense when Ja'Marr Chase left with a concussion after being pulled down by the face mask, but he came up gimpy late in the game and couldn't finish after trying to play through the injury. He may end up missing more time than Chase. Given his history of soft tissue injuries, the Bengals should be conservative about playing him against the Dolphins next week. Dohnte Meyers, who finished with 7 catches for 82 yards, is the waiver pickup in the wake of these injuries, along with Mike Gesicki staying on the streaming tight end list. |

Bengals | Burrow throws for 428 yards, a touchdown in loss to Jaguars Sun Oct 4, 04:16 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow completed 39 of 54 passes for 428 yards with 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions and ran 3 times for 6 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was projected for 19.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 25.7.
| Footballguys view: This isn't ideal for the Bengals, as both of their starting wide receivers got hurt and Chase Brown gained 10 yards on nine carries, so the running game was not an option. Burrow's interceptions were on him and costly mistakes. He still almost led the team to a comeback victory without his starting wide receivers on the final drive, but fell short. The Bengals draw a beatable Miami defense next week and the offense will rest on Burrow's shoulders, but he will have a modest fantasy ceiling if both Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are out after leaving the game with a concussion and groin injury, respectively. |

Bengals | WR Ja'Marr Chase leaves game with concussion Sun Oct 4, 02:46 PM
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase was injured in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Jaguars with 12:11 left. He did not return (concussion).
| Footballguys view: Chase was tackled by the facemask on the play, so this is an especially bad break for his fantasy teams, as Joe Burrow ended up throwing the ball 54 times and racking up over 400 passing yards because Chase Brown found no room to run against the Jaguars. Cincinnati travels to Miami next week and then has a bye, so if Chase can't go in Week 5, we won't see him until Week 7. Tee Higgins left late with a groin injury, so Dohnte Meyers is worth an add whether or not Chase plays next week. |
