Rotoworld Player News

Shemar Stewart

CIN Defensive End #97

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Bengals designated EDGE Shemar Stewart (knee) to return from injured reserve.

Stewart will return to practice this week. The Bengals now have 21 days to activate him from injured reserve. The first-round rookie hasn’t played much this year because of ankle and knee injuries. He has six combined tackles and eight pressures in five appearances so far.
Tee Higgins

CIN Wide Receiver #5

Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Tee Higgins (concussion) will practice on a “very limited basis” on Wednesday.

Higgins was checked for a concussion multiple times on Sunday but never officially left the game with an injury designation. He wound up scoring twice in a losing effort to the Bills. Higgins then reported concussion symptoms after the game and entered the league’s concussion protocol. That he is on the field practicing in any capacity today is a good sign for his Week 15 availability. Higgins will need to get up to a full practice before being cleared for action.
Drake Maye

NE Quarterback #10

The NFL flexed the Patriots’ Week 16 game against the Ravens to Sunday Night Football.

The Bengals and Dolphins were initially slated to play on Sunday night in Week 16. They will now move to a standard 1:00 PM EST slot, while the Ravens and Patriots will prepare to play under the lights in a game that could still carry major playoff implications for both teams. As is the case with every Sunday night game on NBC, we will be waiting all day for this game.
Trey Hendrickson

CIN Defensive End #91

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Trey Hendrickson (hip) is set to undergo core muscle surgery.

In a bit of a sourceoff, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport would only report that surgery is on the table, not that Hendrickson is “set to undergo” the surgery. Either way, undergoing the surgery would knock Hendrickson out for approximately six weeks, meaning his season would be over barring a miracle Bengals playoff appearance. It does feel like we’ve seen the last of Hendrickson for 2025, and it would appear that he’ll enter free agency unless the Bengals franchise tag him.
Tee Higgins

CIN Wide Receiver #5

Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Tee Higgins is back in concussion protocol.

Taylor told reporters that Higgins — who was checked multiple times after a couple major hits on Sunday — reported symptoms after the game. Given the quick turnaround from his last concussion, it would be surprising if Higgins managed to play this week. It looks like Andrei Iosivas and Mitchell Tinsley, as well as Mike Gesicki, will be solidly on the 12-team radar for Week 15.
Trey Hendrickson

CIN Defensive End #91

Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Trey Hendrickson (hip) will “definitely be out” for Week 15’s game against the Ravens.

Always good to get that out of the way early. Hendrickson hasn’t played since October 26 and per Taylor will visit a specialist. We’d be surprised if we see Hendrickson again this season barring a miracle Bengals playoff run.
Jermaine Burton

FA Wide Receiver #81

Bengals waived WR Jermaine Burton.

Being suspended for this week’s game was the last straw for Burton, who can have the final two years and change of his rookie deal claimed off waivers if any other team is amenable to it. We’d doubt that happens based on how prolonged the turmoil of his off-field habits remained a story in Cincinnati. (It has to be pretty bad to be a constant story in Cincinnati.) Burton ends his Bengals career with four catches for 107 yards on 14 targets, none of which happened this season as he fell behind Mitchell Tinsley.
Andrei Iosivas

CIN Wide Receiver #80

Andre Iosivas caught 2-of-3 targets for 17 yards in the Bengals’ Week 14 loss to the Bills.

With Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins back in the lineup, this was to be expected. His one incompletion was a ghastly drop. Higgins did have to go to the blue medical tent twice during the game for concussion checks. Keep an eye on the Bengals’ practice report, but with both Chase and Higgins healthy Iosivas isn’t much of a play in fantasy leagues.
Mike Gesicki

CIN Tight End #88

Mike Gesicki caught all six of his targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals’ Week 14 loss to the Bills.

The Bengals were repeatedly able to get Gesicki matched up against the Bills’ slot corners, and he made multiple crucial catches, including three different third-down grabs and a touchdown catch. Gesicki essentially split the workload with Noah Fant, but you wouldn’t know that from the box score. Gesicki played the same amount of snaps as Fant and ran four more routes, but far out-produced his teammate. As a result, we’d consider this more of a one-off and view Gesicki as more of a TE2 next week against the Ravens.
Tee Higgins

CIN Wide Receiver #5

Tee Higgins caught 6-of-11 targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns in the Bengals’ Week 14 loss to the Bills.

Higgins left this game on two separate occasions after his head was slammed into the turf on attempted catches. It was particularly scary given that Higgins missed last week after suffering a concussion in Week 12. However, he was cleared both times he went into the blue medical tent and returned to the field to continue making big catches against the Bills. Higgins did have a few uncharacteristic drops, but he was also the focal point of the offense, with Ja’Marr Chase seeing shadow coverage. We’ll need to watch Higgins’ practice status closely, but he could be in for a big game next week against the Ravens.
