Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion) is out for Week 15.
Huddle Up: This is his second concussion in the last three weeks, which is worrisome long term, and definitely sheds doubt of his status the rest of the season. Andrei Iosivas is the next man up, but he probably isn't worth starting in fantasy. TE Mike Gesicki had a 6-86-1 line last week and should see more looks his way against the Baltimore Ravens. He's a midrange TE1.

Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion) was limited during practice Wednesday, Dec. 10.
Huddle Up: Higgins returned to the concussion protocol this week, so fantasy players will need to see if he can pass his concussion tests before the Week 15 game. He will be a starting option in all leagues if he plays, but players will need other options ready if he sits out.
Posted 12/08/2025 8:22 pm GMT
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion) has been placed in the concussion protocol after experiencing symptoms after the Week 14 game, according to head coach Zac Taylor.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation during the week to see if Higgins will be available for the Week 15 game. He played very well in the last game and is a weekly starting option in all leagues when healthy.

Cincinnati Bengals TE Noah Fant caught one pass for 15 yards against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. He was targeted two times during the game.
Huddle Up: Fant was more involved in the passing game early in the season but has posted three receptions and 27 yards over the last three games. He can be avoided in fantasy leagues at this time.
Posted 12/07/2025 11:23 pm GMT
Cincinnati Bengals WR Andrei Iosivas caught two passes for 17 yards against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. He was targeted three times during the game.
Huddle Up: Iosivas had bigger role over the last few weeks when Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins were unavailable but will not see many targets while both Chase and Higgins are on the field. He may see a few targets next week but can be avoided in fantasy leagues.
Posted 12/07/2025 11:18 pm GMT
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.
Huddle Up: Chase was not able to make the big plays this week against the Bills but has posted at least 90 yards in four of his last six games. He played very well the last time he faced the Baltimore Ravens and will be a starting option in all leagues next week.
Posted 12/07/2025 11:13 pm GMT
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.
Huddle Up: Gesicki had his best game of the season by far this week against the Bills. He had been held to 35 yards or less in all of his other eight games this season. He will likely see a handful of targets next week but may not be a starting option in many leagues despite his Week 14 performance.

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.
Huddle Up: Brown did not post many yards this week, but his two touchdowns helped his fantasy value. He has been a big part of the offense during the second half of the season and is a weekly starting option in all leagues as long as he is healthy.
Posted 12/07/2025 10:49 pm GMT
Cincinnati Bengals RB Samaje Perine rushed for 31 yards on six carries against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. He also caught one pass for seven yards during the game.
Huddle Up: Perine did not receive as many touches as he did last week but did rush for at least 30 yards in the second straight game. He should see a limited workload behind Chase Brown again next week and may only be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues.
Posted 12/07/2025 10:36 pm GMT
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow went 25-for-36 for 284 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14.
Huddle Up: Burrow has thrown for six touchdowns in his two games since returning from injury and should continue to play well as the season goes on. He will be facing the Baltimore Ravens for the second time in three weeks in Week 15 and should be a starting option in all leagues.
Posted 12/06/2025 1:39 am GMT
Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown has logged 45 total touches in the two full games he has played with QB Joe Burrow this season.
Huddle Up: Brown's usage had been trending up even before Burrow's return, but he should be a safe bet to remain busy with Burrow back under center. Brown has managed at least 100 yards from scrimmage in six straight games and has become a weekly RB1 threat.
Posted 12/05/2025 8:08 pm GMT
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion) practiced in full on Friday, Dec. 5, and no longer appears on the injury report.
Huddle Up: Higgins returning with Joe Burrow as the quarterback boosts his potential tremendously. He can be a WR2 in your lineup in Week 14 against the Bills.
Posted 12/05/2025 7:47 pm GMT
Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown (calf) practiced in full on Friday, Dec. 5, and no longer appears on the injury report.
Huddle Up: Brown has been on a good stretch of performances over the last three weeks. He is worth installing into your lineup as an RB2 or flex play.
Posted 12/03/2025 11:09 pm GMT
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion) was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Dec. 3.
Huddle Up: Higgins has made progress in the concussion protocol, according to head coach Zac Taylor, but it still remains to be seen if Higgins will be able to play Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Check back Friday when the official injury designations are revealed. If he cannot go, Andrei Iosivas would work as the No. 2 receiving behind Ja'Marr Chase.
Posted 12/03/2025 11:06 pm GMT
Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown (calf) was able to take part in a full practice session Wednesday, Dec. 3.
Huddle Up: Brown appears to be in line to play in Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills, but circle back around Friday when the official injury designations are revealed. When healthy, Brown is a borderline low-end RB1 or top-tier RB2 in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams.
Posted 12/03/2025 6:32 pm GMT
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.
Huddle Up: Tee Higgins has a lot more fantasy value now that Joe Burrow has returned to the lineup for the Bengals. Fantasy shareholders should track his progress over the next two days to see if he will be in their lineups.
Posted 12/01/2025 8:52 pm GMT
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion) is still going through the concussion protocol, according to head coach Zac Taylor.
Huddle Up: Higgins needs to pass his concussion tests before he can play again, so fantasy players will need to monitor his status during practice this week. He is a starting option in all leagues when healthy, but players will need other options ready in case he sits again.
Posted 11/28/2025 5:22 am GMT
Cincinnati Bengals TE Noah Fant ended up with a single 3-yard reception on two targets in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens.
Huddle Up: Fant was starting to slowly see an increase in fantasy value a couple of weeks ago, particularly in PPR formats, but now that Mike Gesicki has returned, Fant's fantasy value is gone. He isn't even worth retaining outside of the very deepest of leagues at this point.
Posted 11/28/2025 5:17 am GMT
Cincinnati Bengals TE Tanner Hudson ended the Week 13 game against the Baltimore Ravens with a single 13-yard touchdown reception on two targets.
Huddle Up: While the touchdown was nice, he isn't somebody to target outside of the very deepest fantasy leagues, as he doesn't see enough targets and touches, especially with fellow tight ends Mike Gesicki and Noah Fant in the mix.
Posted 11/28/2025 5:14 am GMT
Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki posted two receptions for 19 yards on four targets in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens.
Huddle Up: Gesicki has pushed Noah Fant to the backburner, now that he is healthy again, but neither is particularly attractive from a fantasy perspective. Gesicki should be treated as a low-end TE2 at the highest.
Posted 11/28/2025 5:06 am GMT
Cincinnati Bengals WR Andrei Iosivas registered a 29-yard touchdown reception on his only catch on two targets in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens.
Huddle Up: Iosivas was working as the No. 2 receiver behind Ja'Marr Chase, as Tee Higgins was sidelined due to a concussion. If Higgins is able to return in Week 14 at Buffalo, Iosivas would see his fantasy value shrink even more. It wasn't that high to begin with. He is a WR5 at best in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams, even if Higgins is sidelined again.
Posted 11/28/2025 5:00 am GMT
Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase posted seven receptions for 110 yards on a game-high 14 targets in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens in his return from a one-game suspension.
Huddle Up: Chase was on a mission after his one-game banishment, and he got a boost from Joe Burrow being back under center, too. Regardless of the Cincinnati QB, Chase is an obvious WR1 in all fantasy leagues, but especially so when Burrow is in there. He'll look to keep it going in Buffalo in Week 14.
Posted 11/28/2025 4:53 am GMT
Cincinnati Bengals RB Samaje Perine rushed 14 times for 39 yards in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens, while adding two receptions for 15 yards with one lost fumble.
Huddle Up: Perine saw a surprising amount of touches, nearly splitting the carries down the middle with Chase Brown. Perine averaging 2.8 yards per carry, to 5.2 for Brown, and the lost fumble certainly didn't do him many favors, either. As long as Brown is healthy, there is little reason to believe in Perine for fantasy purposes outside of deeper leagues.
Posted 11/28/2025 4:49 am GMT
Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown rushed 15 times for 78 yards in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens, while racking up seven receptions for 35 yards on seven targets.
Huddle Up: Brown has rushed for 78 or more yards in three consecutive games, while totaling 113 or more scrimmage yards in each outing. While he hasn't scored since Week 8 against the New York Jets, when he had two touchdowns, he remains a low-end RB1 in most fantasy leagues heading down the stretch and into the fantasy playoffs.
Posted 11/28/2025 4:44 am GMT
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow completed 24-of-46 passes for 261 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens in his return from a toe injury. He also ran three times for eight yards.
Huddle Up: Burrow had been on the shelf since a Grade 3 turf toe injury which required surgery. He came back like he hadn't skipped a beat, hooking up with Ja'Marr Chase for seven grabs and 110 yards on 14 targets, while connecting with Andrei Iosivas and Tanner Hudson for touchdowns. The Bengals might not make the playoffs, but Burrow being back could change the complexion of the fantasy playoffs. He is a QB1 in all fantasy leagues when healthy, and he showed little rust after the long layoff.
