Bengals QB Joe Burrow completed 31 of 44 passes for 348 yards with 2 TDs in Week 9 vs. the Bills. It’s evident at this point that he’s over that right calf injury that slowed him down early in the year. Over the past four games, Burrow ranks fourth in passing yards per game (283.2), third in fantasy points per game (21.8), and first with 2.5 passing TDs per game. The former No. 1 overall pick can now be safely treated as a high-end QB1 regardless of matchup.
Panthers S Vonn Bell (quad) apparently isn't ready to return just yet. He's doubtful for Sunday's game despite putting in limited practices all week. It'll be Bell's third straight missed game -- and another start for Sam Franklin in his place. Franklin made noise with a 99-yard INT return for a TD back in Week 4, but he has just one game all season with more than 2 solo tackles. He's not a worthwhile option for most IDP leagues. The Panthers might also miss CB Donte Jackson. He's officially questionable despite not appearing on the injury report until Friday, as a full participant.
The Giants are signing K Cade York, HC Brian Daboll said Friday. He'll compete with K Randy Bullock for the right to kick for the Giants' 32nd-ranked scoring offense. You can continue to avoid this situation in all fantasy leagues.
Bengals Edge Trey Hendrickson returned for a limited practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday with a foot injury. Hendrickson saw a normal workload in the win over San Francisco and doesn't seem to be in danger of missing this week's game against the Bills. But we'll certainly be checking his status in Friday's practice and heading into the game.
Panthers S Vonn Bell put in limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, his first action since injuring a quad the Thursday before a Week 6 meeting with the Dolphins. Bell missed that game and last week's win over the Texans, sandwiching a Week 7 bye. But he just might be ready to return Sunday against the Colts. Indy has been a negative scoring matchup for DBs on the season, but Bell's a decent tackle play in just about any spot. His return would send S Sam Franklin back to the sideline.
Bengals WR Tee Higgins posted a merely solid receiving line in Sunday's win over the 49ers. His 5 receptions and 69 yards, though, were each his second-highest marks of the season. His 6 targets ranked second on the team even though Higgins trailed Tyler Boyd for third in snaps and routes among Cincinnati WRs. Higgins' 11.5 yards per target against San Francisco checked in 4.1 higher than in any other game this season. Bet on a much better Higgins the rest of the way, now that he's off the injury report and his QB is healthier.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase caught 10 passes for 100 yards and 1 TD on 12 targets in Sunday's win over the 49ers. Even with Tee Higgins off the injury report, Chase claimed 37.5% of the team's targets and accounted for 35.3% of Cincinnati's receiving yards. Chase has rebounded from a quiet first two games to average 13.6 targets, 10 receptions, and 117.2 yards over the past five contests.
Bengals QB Joe Burrow threw almost as many TD passes as incompletions in Sunday's win over the 49ers. He went 28 of 32 for 283 yards and 3 TDs against a defense that entered the week ranked fifth in pass DVOA. His 134.8 passer rating marked a season high by a wide margin, as did Burrow's 43 rushing yards. The bye undoubtedly helped, even if only by allowing WR Tee Higgins (ribs) to get off the injury report. Burrow and his 7.1% TD rate over the past three games looks like a good weekly bet going forward. Week 9 holds a potential shootout at home vs. Buffalo.
Colts RB Zack Moss (elbow, heel) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. He only got in a limited practice on Thursday and was reportedly a game-time decision, so it’s safe to assume that Moss will not be at 100% today. That could mean more work for RB Jonathan Taylor.
Colts RB Zack Moss (heel, elbow) "plans to play" vs. the Saints today, "barring no setbacks in pregame warmups," according to insider Jordan Schultz. It sounds like Moss' heel injury is a bigger issue than the elbow. It's certainly possible that he cedes even more work to RB Jonathan Taylor today. Consider Moss a risky RB3 or flex play.
Colts RB Zack Moss "wants to see how his foot feels once he puts pressure on it in pre-game warmups before deciding whether he can play vs. the Saints" today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Moss is officially questionable with heel and elbow injuries after only getting in a limited practice on Thursday. It's safe to assume he'll be at less than 100% if he does end up active later today.
The Panthers have ruled S Vonn Bell (quad) out for the second straight game. He missed the full week of practice coming out of the Week 7 bye. S Xavier Woods, on the other hand, appears to be trending toward a Sunday return. He's questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans after finishing the week with a full Friday practice. Woods has been out since Week 3. We'll check his status Sunday.
Colts RB Zack Moss (elbow, heel) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Saints. He only got in a limited practice on Thursday, so he seems legitimately iffy. Moss’ absence would obviously be a big boost for RB Jonathan Taylor.
Colts RB Zack Moss (elbow, heel) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He should be available for this weekend's game vs. the Saints, but check back tomorrow to see how Moss is listed on the final injury report.
Colts RB Zack Moss (elbow, heel) did not practice on Wednesday. He seemed to make it out of last week's game fine, so we're guessing this is more of a maintenance day. Check back tomorrow for another update on Moss' status for Sunday's game vs. the Saints.
Colts RB Zack Moss ran for just 21 yards on 7 carries, as Indy barely tried the ground game in a lopsided loss to the Jaguars. He scored from 3 yards out in the fourth quarter, though, and added a 6-38 receiving line on 7 targets. That tied him for third on the team in targets. Jonathan Taylor got much closer to Moss in his second game back, beating Moss by 1 carry and trailing him by just 1 target. A Week 7 meeting with the Browns looks tough for the whole offense.
Bengals QB Joe Burrow completed 24 of 35 attempts for 185 yards, 2 TDs, and 1 INT against Seattle. The Bengals ran only 53 plays in this one, but Burrow clearly wasn’t at his best. He at least salvaged his day with first-half scores to Tyler Boyd (8 yards) and Andrei Iosivas (3 yards). Burrow enters a Week 7 bye before a tough road date at San Francisco.
Bengals WR Tee Higgins managed only 2 catches for 20 yards in Sunday’s win over Seattle. Coming back from a cracked rib, the contract-year WR posted just a 56.7% route rate (21/37) – third among Cincy WRs. Higgins’ 11.5% target share ranked fourth on the team. He should be back to his normal role following a Week 7 bye.
Bengals WR Tee Higgins (ribs) is active for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. We haven’t heard anything about his snaps being limited today with what’s reportedly a pain-management issue. But there’s still some risk of re-injury. See where Higgins sits in the Week 6 WR Rankings.
Bengals WR Tee Higgins (ribs) is expected to play vs. the Seahawks on Sunday, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports. Higgins' rib injury is a pain-management issue, so there's a chance that he's able to play a full allotment of snaps. But there's still elevated risk to using him in Week 6 fantasy lineups. See where Higgins sits in the WR Rankings.
