Cincinnati Bengals Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow dislocated his right pinky in the 2nd quarter of Sunday's loss to the Chargers. He was in obvious discomfort but was able to play through the issue. Burrow said after the game that he doesn't expect to miss time going forward, but it'll be a situation to monitor leading into Sunday's game vs. the 49ers.

Bengals LB Logan Wilson left in the 1st half Sunday against the Chargers with a shoulder injury. Former NFL team doctor David Chao said it looked like a dislocated right shoulder. We'll see about the official diagnosis and how long Wilson might be out. The team has ruled him out for the rest of the game.

Bills RB Zack Moss is a healthy scratch for tonight's game vs. the Saints. Buffalo will roll with RBs Devin Singletary and Matt Breida. "I think it'll be a 1A/1B situation unless someone gets hot," The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia wrote, labeling Singletary the 1A. In a matchup vs. the league's top-ranked RB defense, consider Singletary and Breida just RB3 or flex options.

Bills RB Zack Moss (concussion) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He figures to continue splitting backfield work with Devin Singletary, leaving both guys as just RB3 or flex plays.

Bills RB Zack Moss has cleared the concussion protocol, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Barring a setback, Moss will be available for Sunday's game vs. the Jets. He had been operating as Buffalo's lead back but was out-carried 5 to 3 by Devin Singletary before exiting last week's loss to Jacksonville. Moss and Singletary both look like RB3s with upside vs. the Jets tomorrow.

Bills RB Zack Moss (concussion) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Jets. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia notes that Moss was not wearing a non-contact jersey on Friday, so he seems to be making good progress through the protocol. We’ll see whether he can get full clearance in time for Sunday’s game. If not, Devin Singletary would be Buffalo’s clear lead back -- and a RB2 in fantasy lineups.

Bills RB Zack Moss (concussion) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He's made some progress through the protocol, giving him a shot to be cleared in time for Sunday's game vs. the Jets. We'll get another update on his progress tomorrow.

Bills RB Zack Moss (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. He's looking unlikely to play vs. the Jets this weekend. Moss' absence would put Devin Singletary in the RB2 mix.

Bills RB Zack Moss sustained a concussion in the 2nd half of Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. It's his 1st documented concussion. We'll track his progress through the protocol this coming week.

Bengals RB Chris Evans (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Jets. Joe Mixon and Samaje Perine will handle all of Cincinnati's backfield work.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow (throat) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’s good to go for Sunday’s plus matchup vs. the Lions.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow (throat) put in a full practice on Wednesday. It's confirmation that he'll be ready for this weekend's game vs. the Lions. Burrow is a low-end QB1 in that plus matchup.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow was released from the hospital on Sunday night after suffering a throat contusion in the overtime loss to the Packers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Burrow should be absolutely fine," Rapoport adds. We'll keep an eye on him this week, but expect Burrow under center for Sunday's plum matchup vs. the Lions.

Geoff Hobson of the team website reports that Bengals QB Joe Burrow went to the hospital after Sunday's OT loss to the Packers to be examined for a possible throat contusion. Burrow did make it through the whole game. We'll pass along any updates on the QB's condition.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (shoulder) "looked great" in practice this week and will play vs. the Packers on Sunday, HC Zac Taylor said Friday. Higgins opened the season with 4-58-1 and 6-60-1 receiving lines on 15 total targets before missing the past 2 weeks. He's a nice Week 5 fantasy play vs. a Green Bay secondary missing top CB Jaire Alexander.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (shoulder) remained limited in Thursday's practice. He's tentatively expected back for this weekend's game vs. the Packers, but check back tomorrow for another update.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (shoulder) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. He's tentatively expected to play vs. the Packers this weekend, but check back tomorrow for another update.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (shoulder) would have had an "outside chance" to play Week 4 if the game were on Sunday, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Higgins is sitting "with plans to get healthy for Week 5," Fowler adds. We'll keep an eye on his status when Cincinnati gets back to work next week.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (shoulder) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Jaguars. We still don't have a timetable for Higgins' return. Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd will again operate as Cincinnati's clear top 2 WRs in tomorrow's plus matchup.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (shoulder) remained sidelined for Tuesday's practice. Fantasy owners shouldn't plan on him playing against the Jaguars on Thursday night, but we'll get another update on his status tomorrow.
