  • CIN Defensive End #91
    A neck stinger forced Hendrickson from play in Week 4 but he was able to fully participate in Friday’s practice this week. The Bengals are also expected to return DT B.J. Hill, who missed Weeks 3 and 4 with a hamstring strain.
  • CIN Defensive Back #21
    The Bengals’ primary slot corner suffered a knee injury in Week 4 versus the Panthers but played through it. That suggests he could suit up this week despite a limited practice regimen. Hilton has 12 combined tackles this year. Defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins remained sideline for Wednesday’s practice.
  • DAL Defensive End #56
    Henry was waived at last cuts after being drafted by the old Commanders regime in 2023, then caught on with the Bengals practice squad. He’ll provide depth for the Cowboys up front with the team placing DeMarcus Lawrence on injured reserve.
  • CIN Defensive End #99
    Murphy suffered a knee sprain in late August and was placed on injured reserve to open the season. The second-year defender totaled 20 tackles, three TFLs, and three sacks in 17 games last season and is expected to take a big step this season. The Bengals defense has struggled out of the gate this season, allowing the sixth-most points and the fourth-most passing touchdowns on their way to a 1-3 start. The return of Murphy, which could still be a few weeks away, should help bolster a unit that also has the second-fewest sacks (5) of any team in the league.
  • CIN Tight End #83
    All led the Bengals’ tight ends in targets, catches, and receiving yards. The Bengals have publicly praised the former Michigan/Iowa tight end, so it’s not a surprise to see him more involved in the offense. However, the team is also splitting snaps between all of their tight ends, and Tanner Hudson figures to return soon, so this is likely a situation to avoid in fantasy unless one guy emerges from the timeshare.
  • CIN Tight End #88
    Yes, that’s a negative number. Gesicki caught a ball near the sideline and tried to spin out of a tackle and was knocked backward by the Panthers defenders. By the time he was tackled, he had lost 13 yards from the point where he caught the ball. It was a bit of a tough call against him, but it’s not as if he would have had a great day otherwise. The Bengals are rotating their tight ends, which makes it hard to trust any of them.
  • CIN Wide Receiver #80
    It was a beautiful catch-and-throw with Burrow dropping the ball into the bread basket over coverage and Iosivas holding on as he got drilled. The Princeton graduate was shaken up but walked off the field, and that didn’t seem to be a reason why he was not used as much in the passing game today. The Bengals were up by two scores for much of the day and ran the ball 31 times. Still Iosivas is hard to trust in fantasy leagues.
  • CIN Wide Receiver #5
    With Joe Burrow unable to get much going deep down the field, he was content to find Higgins in the intermediate areas to move the ball. A few of Higgins’ catches were on key third-down pass plays, and he led the team in both targets and catches. There is certainly no question about Higgins’ role in this offense, and if it can actually start clicking at the level we’ve seen in the past then Higgins should put up some solid fantasy totals.
  • CIN Wide Receiver #1
    Chase did most of his damage on a 63-yard touchdown catch where he took a 20-yard completion and broke four tackles before racing down the sideline. He also showed impressive footwork to tip-toe down the sideline on another catch and gain solid yards after the catch. However, he and Burrow weren’t able to connect on much during the game, and Chase certainly had to work for the vast majority of his yards on Sunday, which is not a great sign heading into a showdown against the Ravens. Then again, we know Chase has the talent to explode against any defense.
  • CIN Running Back #31
    Moss got into the end zone on a swing pass on the final play of the first half and he remained a solid factor in the passing game throughout the day. However, he had the same number of carries as Chase Brown and looked like the far less dynamic rusher. Moss had dominated carries in the first three games, but the Bengals had lost all of them, so it’s possible this will be a change we see more of in the future.
