    Andrei Iosivas Dec 10 2:20am ET
    Andrei Iosivas

    Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas caught four of his five targets for 41 yards during Monday's Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. The Bengals' offense is quite crowded right now with strong performances from Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Mike Gesicki, and Chase Brown, but we can't ignore a solid string of productivity from Iosivas. He has 10 catches, 122 yards, and one touchdown during that three-game span, ranking 60th among receivers in terms of average fantasy points per game. He should be viewed as a solid WR4 option in deeper leagues ahead of Week 15 against the Tennessee Titans.

    Chase Brown Dec 10 2:10am ET
    Chase Brown

    Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown rushed for 58 yards on 14 carries during Monday's Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. More importantly, he caught six of eight targets for an additional 65 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. The 24-year-old has been quite special since taking over as the Bengals' No. 1 running back, ranking as the overall RB7 in half-PPR leagues despite enduring a bye week. Brown's productivity and overall heavy volume make him a mid-range fantasy RB1 option despite next week's matchup against a strong Tennessee Titans run defense.

    Joe Burrow Dec 10 2:10am ET
    Joe Burrow

    Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow completed 33 of his 44 pass attempts for 369 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception during Monday's Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He also took two sacks and lost two rushing yards. All in all, the former No. 1 pick had another very impressive performance, largely thanks to his connection with Ja'Marr Chase. The star receiver caught 14 passes on Monday and accounted for nearly half of his quarterback's passing yards in the primetime victory. Burrow is the overall QB2 in fantasy football since Week 9 despite having a bye during that window.

    Mike Gesicki Dec 10 2:10am ET
    Mike Gesicki

    Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki caught all three of his targets for 24 receiving yards during Monday's Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran now has eight catches over his last two contests, but he's still just the overall TE19 in fantasy football during that span. Over the course of the full season, Gesicki ranks as the overall TE18. It's promising to see him continue to develop his rapport with Joe Burrow, but there's no question that his productivity continues to be overshadowed by Ja'Marr Chase's exceptional performances, seemingly every week. Gesicki should be viewed as a fringe top-18 fantasy tight end heading into Week 15 against the Tennessee Titans.

    Tee Higgins Dec 10 1:50am ET
    Tee Higgins

    Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught two of his five targets for 23 yards during Monday's Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. It was just the second time this season that Higgins, who appears destined for a split from the Bengals in free agency, had fewer than 12 points (PPR) in a single game. The 25-year-old continues to be overshadowed by Ja'Marr Chase, who turned in 14 catches for 177 yards and two touchdowns against Dallas. Higgins is the third playmaking option behind Chase and Chase Brown, and as a result, he'll continue to be ranked in the WR3/FLEX tier for Week 15.

    From RotoBaller

    Ja'Marr Chase Dec 10 1:40am ET
    Ja'Marr Chase

    Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase caught 14 of 18 targets for 177 yards and two touchdowns during Monday's win over the Dallas Cowboys. The star wide receiver has been the top-scoring non-quarterback in fantasy football this year, averaging a whopping 24.5 points per game (PPR). He continues to thrive in fantasy football despite playing alongside another receiver with significant upside and production, Tee Higgins. Chase, a former first-round pick, is undoubtedly having a historic season and shows no sign of slowing down ahead of a favorable matchup against the Tennessee Titans in Week 15.

    Will Dissly Dec 9 11:00pm ET
    Will Dissly

    Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in the Sunday night loss to the Kansas City Chiefs that is likely to keep him out for a couple of weeks, according to sources. Injured Reserve isn't considered likely for Dissly right now, which is good, because an IR placement would require him to miss the final four weeks of the regular season. In his first season with the Bolts, he's been productive for LA with 43 receptions, 418 receiving yards and one touchdown. The 28-year-old injured his shoulder on the final play before halftime on Sunday night and was unable to return. He'll at least be out this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and could miss the Thursday night game in Week 16 against the division-rival Denver Broncos as well. Stone Smartt, who had a season-high 54 yards on Sunday night, will take over as the starter and will be worth a look as a TE2 streamer in fantasy.

    Marist Liufau Dec 9 11:00pm ET
    Marist Liufau

    Dallas Cowboys rookie linebacker DeMarvion Overshown (knee) suffered a knee injury in the Monday night contest against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14 and will not return to the game. Overshown's knee was injured in the fourth quarter when Ted Karras fell on his leg, and he had to be helped off the field by Dallas' trainers. It did not look good. For the rest of the game and possibly moving forward, Marist Liufau will see more playing time in the middle of Dallas' defense next to Eric Kendricks. The 24-year-old Overshown, a third-round selection last year out of Texas, has been very impressive in his first NFL season in 2024, racking up 84 tackles (52 solo), five sacks, eight tackles for loss, five QB hits, an interception returned for a touchdown, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 12 games. He's been a top-10 fantasy IDP linebacker in 2024 as one of Dallas' best playmakers on defense.

    Malik Mustapha Dec 9 9:50pm ET
    Malik Mustapha

    San Francisco 49ers safety Malik Mustapha (chest) was estimated as a limited participant during Monday's practice. Mustapha recorded five tackles during Sunday's win over the Chicago Bears, but he appears to have picked up a chest injury along the way. It's worth noting that Monday's practice is basically a walkthrough, so the next two days will go a long way to determining his status ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Fellow safety Talanoa Hufanga (wrist) returned from the injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game. He figures to cut into Mustapha's playing time going forward.

    Dre Greenlaw Dec 9 9:40pm ET
    Dre Greenlaw

    San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) was listed as a limited participant during Monday's estimated practice. Greenlaw appears to be on the verge of getting back on the field. He has been sidelined since suffering a torn Achilles during the Super Bowl. The 49ers have been cautious with their stud linebacker, but there is a chance he does return for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. If that happens, Greenlaw would likely be limited with a snap count considering it'd be his first game of the season. His return to the field would give this defensive unit a boost ahead of this tough matchup.

    Jordan Whittington Dec 9 9:30pm ET
    Jordan Whittington

    Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (shoulder) wasn't available for Monday's practice estimate. Whittington has been dealing with a shoulder injury for weeks, but continues to suit up. However, the 24-year-old has taken a backseat in the offense since Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua returned to the field. In fact, Whittington doesn't have a reception since Week 5. He has been limited to special teams duties, which isn't going to offer much to fantasy managers. That being said, Whittington is worth holding in some dynasty formats, but isn't likely to have much of a role on the offense right now.

    From RotoBaller

    Tyler Higbee Dec 9 9:20pm ET
    Tyler Higbee

    Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) was listed as a full participant during Monday's practice estimate. Higbee has been sidelined all season while recovering from ACL and MCL tears from January. It sounds like Higbee is doing better, but head coach Sean McVay said the team doesn't want to rush anything. That being said, it seems unlikely that Higbee will be activated in time for Thursday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. The Rams still have over a week left on his 21-day window before having to activate Higbee or shut him down for the season. If he plays, Higbee would unlikely have a big role on offense and wouldn't be a recommended fantasy option.

    Nick Bosa Dec 9 8:50pm ET
    Nick Bosa

    San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (oblique) and left tackle Trent Williams (ankle, personal) are both still being evaluated on a day by day basis and there's no clear sign on whether they'll be able to return for a Thursday night showdown against the visiting division-rival Los Angeles Rams. Neither Bosa nor Williams were estimated as practice participants for the team's first practice on Monday, which is a bad sign for their availability on a short week. Both players have missed each of the team's last three games with their injuries. In addition to an ankle injury, Williams is dealing with the unfortunate death of his young son. It's most likely a long shot that either player is on the field this Friday, but they could have a shot to return in Week 16 against the Miami Dolphins. Bosa should be expected to be on a limited snap count whenever he does return.

    Kenneth Walker III Dec 9 8:40pm ET
    Kenneth Walker III

    Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said the team is unsure on the status of running back Kenneth Walker III's (calf) heading into a Week 15 date with the Green Bay Packers. The Seahawks were having tests done on Walker's calf on Monday and they are hoping to know more in the coming days after the lead back was inactive for the Week 14 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Seattle probably isn't in any rush to bring the 24-year-old back if he's not ready after backup Zach Charbonnet stepped in for 29 touches, 193 scrimmage yards and two rushing touchdowns against Arizona on an 80% snap share with Walker out. Walker is no longer dealing with an ankle issue, but it remains to be seen if he'll be active this weekend against Green Bay. And if Walker does return, fantasy managers probably shouldn't be surprised if he shares more work with Charbonnet after his big Week 14 performance.

    Jayden Reed Dec 9 8:40pm ET
    Jayden Reed

    Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed put up a donut for his fantasy managers in the Week 14 loss to the division-rival Detroit Lions last Thursday night, which was especially disappointing with Romeo Doubs (concussion) out. Head coach Matt LaFleur insinuated that the Packers will look to get Reed more involved moving forward with specific packages that make sure he touches the football. "Where we can be better, and I talked to Jayden about this, is just making sure we have some of those plays for him in the game plan where he's tagged to go in there and play wideout. Because he's certainly an impactful player," LaFleur said. Reed, one of the team's best playmakers, only played 50% of the snaps on Thursday and was targeted only once. The 24-year-old could get the squeaky-wheel treatment in Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks, but he's been boom or bust for fantasy managers all year with one game all year with more than six targets.

    Mike Boone Dec 9 8:40pm ET
    Mike Boone

    Carolina Panthers running back Mike Boone will be elevated to the team's No. 2 RB behind starter Chuba Hubbard moving forward after rookie Jonathon Brooks (knee) suffered another torn ACL in the Week 14 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Raheem Blackshear (chest) was also injured on Sunday, although thankfully his injury isn't considered serious and he's listed as day-to-day. Miles Sanders (ankle) is already out for the rest of the season, too, so Carolina's backfield is extremely thin with four games remaining in 2024. Boone has only seen action in two games for the Panthers in 2024 in his first year with the team, handling only four carries for seven yards. The 29-year-old has averaged 5.1 yards per carry on 108 rushing attempts in his seven years in the NFL with four different teams, but he'll primarily be just a handcuff in deeper leagues for those that have Hubbard rostered.

    Joe Burrow Dec 9 8:30pm ET
    Joe Burrow

    Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs (groin, knee) was officially active for the Monday night contest in Dallas against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals after missing the last two games with a knee injury. Diggs will return as a starter on the boundary, and backup corner Josh Butler (knee) has been placed on Injured Reserve with a season-ending torn ACL. The Cowboys banged-up defense could certainly use the help to try and slow down one of the most dangerous passing attacks in football in Joe Burrow and company. While it's nice to have Diggs back in the fold for a primetime contest, he could be eased back into the flow after missing the last two games. The 26-year-old ball-hawking defensive back had a league-high 11 interceptions in his second year in the league in 2021 but has just six in three years since. He's recorded 37 tackles (30 solo), two picks and eight pass breakups in 10 starts in 2024.

    Charlie Jones Dec 9 8:20pm ET
    Charlie Jones

    Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Charlie Jones (groin), who was listed as questionable for Week 14 action, is officially out yet again for the Monday night contest against the Dallas Cowboys. It's the fifth straight game that Jones has missed. With the 26-year-old sidelined yet again, rookie Jermaine Burton should continue to see more involvement as the team's WR4 alongside Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Andrei Iosivas. Jones has seen a very little role in Cincy since he was taken in the 2023 draft in the fourth round. He has just one catch on his only target for a five-yard pickup in eight games that he's appeared in in 2024 and he caught seven of nine targets for 64 yards and no touchdowns in his first 11 NFL contests in his rookie campaign. Jones remains well off the fantasy radar.

    Jameis Winston Dec 9 7:00pm ET
    Jameis Winston

    Despite being officially eliminated from playoff contention with their Week 14 loss to the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cleveland Browns are sticking with Jameis Winston as their starting quarterback, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Winston will start this coming Sunday against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15, where he'll be a QB2 in superflex leagues against a tough KC defense. While Winston has helped upset the division-rival Baltimore Ravens and Steelers after taking over for Deshaun Watson (Achilles) in Week 8, he's also thrown a league-high nine interceptions since. The Browns are 2-4 with Winston as the starter. Dorian Thompson-Robinson started three games as a rookie in 2023. Fantasy-wise, Winston has given desperate fantasy managers in superflex leagues more upside at the position than Watson did before his Achilles tear.

    Tee Higgins Dec 9 6:40pm ET
    Tee Higgins

    The Athletic's Chad Graff writes that the New England Patriots are going to be all in on Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins, based on simply reading the tea leaves. The Patriots have shown interest in established pass-catchers before, and Higgins is going to be the best receiving free agent next March. Graff expects New England to offer Higgins a lot for his services, the only question is whether Higgins will want to come and play with young quarterback Drake Maye. Seeing the 25-year-old Higgins paired with an emerging Maye would make a lot of fantasy managers want to target the current Bengals receiver in fantasy drafts. The former second-rounder in 2020 out of Clemson already has two 1,000-yard receiving seasons under his belt and would have high-end WR1 upside if he leaves Ja'Marr Chase's shadow, but he's also an injury risk, having only played in seven games this year and 12 in 2023.
