Rotoworld Player News

Joe Burrow

CIN Quarterback #9

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Bengals QB Joe Burrow (knee) practiced fully on Thursday.

Burrow is up to two full sessions this week. He is good to go for his team’s Week 16 game against the Dolphins, though his receiving corps could be short-staffed, with WR Tee Higgins still in the NFL’s concussion protocol. Burrow is a low-end QB1.
Tee Higgins

CIN Wide Receiver #5

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion) “arrived with a helmet for the last minute of practice.”

Technically, Higgins could end up being listed as a limited participant, though this participation level is hardly encouraging for his Week 16 availability. Hopefully, Higgins can practice fully tomorrow, or at least increase his limited participation level. Stay tuned.
Tee Higgins

CIN Wide Receiver #5

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion) was not spotted at practice on Thursday.

Oh, dear. This is unfortunate. Higgins practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday. If he is unable to participate today, it likely means that he suffered a setback. The Bengals face the Dolphins this week. Both teams have been eliminated from playoff contention. With Higgins sidelined, the Bengals had WR Andrei Iosivas operate as the No. 2, while Mitchell Tinsley handled No. 3 duties.
Tee Higgins

CIN Wide Receiver #5

Tee Higgins (concussion) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Higgins got in some limited practices last week but was ultimately ruled out on Friday. He will need to get upgraded to a full participant before being cleared from the league’s concussion protocol. No Bengal outside of Ja’Marr Chase and Chase Brown topped 20 receiving yards with Higgins sidelined for Week 15. If he isn’t cleared for Week 16, there isn’t a fantasy option worth adding for Cincinnati’s matchup with the Dolphins.
Joe Burrow

CIN Quarterback #9

Joe Burrow said he “can’t see” a scenario in which he leaves the Bengals in 2026, but he has thought about playing elsewhere in his career.

Reporters questioned Burrow about his future with the team. He offered multiple answers of varying length. While addressing a question about lessons learned by watching Peyton Manning and Tom Brady switch teams, Burrow compared those situations to the Packers trading away Micah Parsons earlier this year, saying, “crazy things happen.” As things currently stand, we expect Burrow to remain a Bengal next season. If the organization continues to struggle, Burrow’s displeasure will ostensibly grow. It’s anyone’s guess as to how things go in that scenario, though he is under contract through 2029.
Ke'Shawn Williams

CIN Wide Receiver #85

Bengals claimed WR Ke’Shawn Williams off waivers from the Steelers.

Williams has only played nine offensive snaps this year and was signed as a UDFA out of Indiana earlier this offseason. He’ll work on special teams for the Bengals and likely has no fantasy value barring further injuries to the Cincinnati wideout corps.
Zac Taylor

CIN Head Coach

The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr. believes a potential firing for Bengals coach Zac Taylor “sounds very unlikely” right now.

In news that will surprise nobody who is familiar with the Bengals organization, Dehner also writes that there “is zero thought” that GM Duke Tobin’s job is in jeopardy and that “the most likely scenario” is that DC Al Golden gets another year as well while the Bengals retool their defensive personnel. Perhaps you think that firing the main architects after a disappointing year is warranted. The Bengals reject your reality and substitute their own.
Joe Burrow

CIN Quarterback #9

Bengals HC Zac Taylor said Joe Burrow will start the final three games of the season.

When asked why Burrow will remain the starter, Taylor, whose Bengals sit at 4-10, said, “Because we want to win.” Big if true. Burrow didn’t look too interested in winning during parts of Sunday’s shutout loss at home to the Ravens, but fantasy managers hoping the Bengals show some fight for at least two more weeks will be happy to hear this news. Burrow and the Bengals draw the Dolphins in Week 16.
Samaje Perine

CIN Running Back #34

Samaje Perine rushed 14 times for 42 yards in the Bengals’ Week 15 loss to the Ravens.

Perine saw one more carry than Chase Brown, but averaged just three yards per carry on the day with his longest gain coming on an eight-yard pickup. Perine briefly left the game in the fourth quarter due to a knee injury, and was carted to the locker room at one point. Despite all of this, he returned to finish out the day and should be good to go for Week 16 against the Dolphins. Even if he is active, fantasy managers can avoid him next week.
Chase Brown

CIN Running Back #30

Chase Brown rushed 13 times for 53 yards in the Bengals’ Week 15 loss to the Ravens, adding seven receptions for 37 additional yards.

Brown PPR-scammed his way to a decent fantasy day, as his seven targets were second only to Ja’Marr Chase. Brown found himself in a near 50/50 rush split with Samaje Perine in this one, as Perine wound up handling 14 carries, but saw only one target. Brown remains the only fantasy viable running back in the Bengals’ backfield and will be on the RB2 range next week against the Dolphins.
