Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd caught only two of his four targets for 16 yards during the win over Tennessee on Sunday. With Ja'Marr Chase (hip, labrum) sidelined, fantasy managers were expecting more out of Boyd. However, the wideout has had just four receptions in the last two games. Boyd should get back on track at some point, so he'll likely remain a flex option in all formats moving ahead, including in Week 13 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Cincinnati Bengals tight end Hayden Hurst finished with six catches for 57 yards during the win over the Titans on Sunday. With Ja'Marr Chase out again, Hurst tied Tee Higgins for a game-high nine targets. However, It's safe to say fantasy managers were hoping for a little more production from the 29-year-old. Nonetheless, Hurst should find the end zone at least one more time before the end of the 2022-23 campaign, so he'll continue to be a viable streaming option in deep fantasy setups.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins finished with a game-high 114 yards off seven catches in Week 12 against the Titans. He also had a touchdown, finding the end zone off a 27-yard throw from Joe Burrow in the fourth quarter. With Ja'Marr Chase (hip, labrum) out again, Higgins remained the featured target for Burrow. Although Chase could be back for the Week 13 meeting versus the Kansas City Chiefs, Higgins should continue starting in every fantasy lineup.
Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine got the start in place of Joe Mixon (concussion) for the Week 12 meeting with Tennessee. He looked good, too, finishing with 58 yards and a touchdown off 17 carries while adding four catches for 35 yards. The 27-year-old has scored four times in the last two weeks. If Mixon remains out for the Week 13 AFC Championship rematch with the Chiefs, Perine should remain starting in all fantasy setups.
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow tossed for 270 yards during the win over the Tennessee Titans. He also threw a touchdown, connecting with Tee Higgins in the fourth quarter, while adding nine carries for 32 yards. Cincinnati's offensive line held up, holding the Titans' defense to only one sack on the afternoon, which certainly helped the former LSU Tiger be productive. With three straight wins in the books for the Bengals, Burrow and company will host the Chiefs in Week 13 for an AFC Championship rematch. Although the signal-caller has completed less than 61% of his throws in the last two games, he should remain a must-start fantasy option in all formats.
