Bengals Sign Cade York To Active Roster

The Cincinnati Bengals signed kicker Cade York from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Tuesday and also signed linebacker Joe Giles-Harris and safety Jaylen Key to their practice squad. York had been elevated to the active roster the last few weeks to fill in for the injured Evan McPherson (groin), who is on Injured Reserve, but now he's officially on the active roster heading into a Week 16 contest against the division-rival Cleveland Browns. With the Bengals potentially being eliminated from postseason contention very soon, they may choose to just roll with York as their placekicker for the final three games of the regular season. McPherson isn't eligible to return until Week 18. In the last two games with Cincy, York has hit all three of his field-goal tries and has missed one of his eight extra-point attempts. He'll be in play as a kicking streamer in deeper leagues this Sunday against the Browns.

Sam Hubbard Likely Done For The Season

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard (knee) suffered a PCL injury to his knee in Sunday's Week 15 win over the Tennessee Titans and will likely miss the rest of the season, according to sources. Hubbard has already been ruled out for the Week 16 contest against the division-rival Cleveland Browns, and he'll likely also miss the final two games of the season as well. The 29-year-old pass-rusher will at least go out on a high note in 2024 after scoring an offensive touchdown in Sunday's victory for the Bengals. Hubbard will finish his seventh season in the NFL (all in Cincinnati) with 41 tackles (25 solo), two sacks, nine QB hits, his first career interception and a forced fumble in 14 starts. Although Hubbard wasn't on the map in fantasy IDP leagues because of his lack of sacks, it's more bad news for an already bad Bengals defense.

Joe Burrow Avoids Issues With His Knee In Week 15

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) didn't have any issues with his surgically repaired knee in the Week 15 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Burrow was wearing a sleeve on his knee in last Monday night's win over the Dallas Cowboys and dealt with some soreness after that game, but he was fine to play on Sunday against the Titans. The 28-year-old former first overall pick had a mixed bag in the victory, going 26-for-37 for 271 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. He also lost a fumble, but the Bengals defense forced six turnovers to help the team overcome a sloppy performance. Burrow fell just shy of his fifth straight game with at least 300 yards passing. Burrow leads the league in both yardage (3,977) and passing touchdowns (36). Despite throwing for only 181 yards in Week 7 against the Browns, he'll be a must-start QB1 against them in the rematch in Week 16.

Mike Gesicki Has Three Grabs In Week 15

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki had three catches for 37 yards in Sunday's win over the Titans. The 29-year-old had three receptions for 24 yards in the Monday night victory over the Dallas Cowboys. While he played better in this one, it still wasn't good enough, especially for those in the hunt for a fantasy football championship. With his last trip to the end zone last occurring against the Raiders in early November, Gesicki will be tough to trust in the Week 16 AFC North clash with the Browns.

Chase Brown Has Another Impressive Showing In Week 15

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown ran for 97 yards off 25 carries while adding three catches for 16 yards in Sunday's victory over the Titans. He also scored two touchdowns. Without question, Brown continues to get it done for fantasy managers, finding the end zone at least once in nine of his previous 11 appearances. He'll look to keep it going in the Week 16 AFC North clash with the Browns, with Brown going for only 44 yards off 15 touches when Cincinnati made the trip to Cleveland back in October.

Tee Higgins Finds The End Zone On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins had five catches for 88 yards in Sunday's much-needed win over the Titans. He also scored, finding the end zone off of a 38-yard throw from Joe Burrow in the second quarter. The wideout was quiet in the Monday night win over the Cowboys. Fortunately, especially for those competing for a fantasy football title, he had a quality outing. With Cincinnati still in the hunt for a postseason berth, Higgins and the Bengals will host the Browns in Week 16, with the 25-year-old amassing four grabs for 82 yards and a touchdown when these teams met in October.

Ja'Marr Chase Plays Well In Week 15

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had nine catches for 94 yards in Sunday's win over the Titans. The former LSU Tiger had eight touchdowns in his four appearances leading up to Week 15. While he didn't find the end zone in this one, he still had a quality showing, especially for those participating in PPR formats. With the Bengals still alive for the postseason, Chase and company will host the Browns in Week 16, with the wideout catching five passes for 55 yards and a touchdown when these clubs met back in October.

Joe Burrow Has Another Three-Touchdown Game

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 271 yards, three touchdowns, and two picks off 26-for-37 passing in Sunday's win over the Titans. It wasn't the prettiest showing from the signal-caller, who also had a fumble. But it was still good enough for Burrow to finish with his sixth-straight game with at least three touchdown tosses. More importantly, his efforts resulted in another win, which bolstered the Bengals playoff chances while helping those competing for a fantasy football championship. Fresh off another victory, Burrow and the Bengals will look to keep it going against the Browns in Week 16, with the former LSU Tiger throwing for 181 yards and two scores when these clubs met back in October.

Sam Hubbard Done With Right-Knee Injury

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard (right knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. Hubbard made one tackle prior to his departure, and he actually caught a touchdown pass from Joe Burrow, too. It came at a cost, though, as Hubbard's day is done. Myles Murphy and Joseph Ossai will be tasked with handling additional defensive snaps until Hubbard can return to action.

Charlie Jones Still Out For Bengals

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Charlie Jones (groin) remains out of action for the Week 15 contest on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Jones didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday but was upgraded to a full practice on Friday before being given a questionable tag for Sunday's game. However, the 26-year-old has been ruled out for his sixth straight game this weekend, meaning running back Khalil Herbert and Isaiah Williams should continue to serve as the team's kick and punt returners, respectively. Jones, a fourth-round selection in 2023, has played in only eight games in his second year in the NFL and has caught his only target for a five-yard gain. When healthy, he's primarily an option on special teams for the Bengals as a returner and is off the fantasy radar. He had seven catches for 64 yards and no touchdowns in 11 games as a rookie.

Cade York Remains On Streaming Radar

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Cade York has been elevated from the practice squad and is set to kick for the second straight week. York figures to remain as the primary kicker for the next few games with Evan McPherson (groin) on the injured reserve. Last week, York made all three of his extra point attempts and both field goals in the win over the Dallas Cowboys. The Bengals offense has been strong enough to keep their kickers busy this season. York figures to remain busy for the upcoming matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

Mike Gesicki Carries Risk In Week 15

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki should be viewed as a risky tight end and should only be deployed in deeper 14+ team formats this weekend, facing the Tennessee Titans. After enjoying a solid start to the campaign, the veteran has taken a step back over the past few weeks. Over his past four games, he has averaged just 5.7 PPR points per game with 3.0 receptions per contest. However, he still sees a solid 4.8 targets per game, suggesting brighter days may be ahead. Since scoring 27.0 PPR points during Week 9, Gesicki has only eclipsed double-digit PPR points on one occasion. Facing the Titans, who have allowed the ninth-fewest PPR points to opposing tight ends, fantasy managers should only view him as a desperation play on Sunday, given his lack of stable production this season.

Andrei Iosivas Not A Fantasy Option In Week 15

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas was anticipated to have a breakout season. While the 25-year-old has had a few quality performances, he still isn't playing at the level most had hoped. With a career-high five touchdowns, Iosivas should make another trip or two to the end zone before the end of the regular season. But he's not consistent by any means, making him a risky fantasy commodity for managers in Week 15 versus the Tennessee Titans.

Chase Brown Looking For Another Strong Game In Week 15

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown was expected to have a quality year. However, not many could have predicted he would be playing as well as he has during the 2024-25 campaign. The 25-year-old has gotten it done as a runner and pass-catcher, rushing for 735 yards off 166 touches and adding 44 grabs for 55 yards. He's also combined for nine touchdowns. With a meeting versus the Titans on the horizon, Brown is anticipated to remain heavily involved, keeping him a must-start for fantasy managers.

Tee Higgins Will Try To Bounce Back In Week 15

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has battled multiple injuries during the year. Still, he's as good as it gets when healthy. With the 25-year-old coming off a two-catch performance in the Monday night win over Dallas, he'll look to bounce back in Week 15 versus Tennessee. Granted, he isn't as productive as Ja'Marr Chase. However, Joe Burrow has heavily relied on Higgins during the 2024-25 campaign, so it shouldn't surprise fantasy managers if the former Clemson Tiger is the team's top pass-catcher against the Titans. Keep him starting in all fantasy formats.

Ja'Marr Chase Looking For Another Big Game

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase continues to get it done. The former LSU Tiger is the best wideout in the National Football League, and he's coming off a potent 14-catch, 177-yard, two-touchdown performance in the Monday night win over the Dallas Cowboys. With the Bengals barely holding on to their playoff hopes, Chase and company will meet the Titans in Week 15. Tennessee's defense has played well enough during the 2024-25 campaign. However, no matter who Chase is up against, he is always in line to finish as a top fantasy producer. Of course, this isn't news to many.

Joe Burrow Good To Go For Week 15, Remains Top-Five Fantasy QB

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) is officially good to go for Sunday's contest versus the Tennessee Titans in Week 15 and won't carry an injury designation into the game. Burrow was seen wearing a sleeve on his surgically repaired knee in Monday night's win over the Dallas Cowboys and dealt with some residual soreness the next day. He was limited in practice this week but is good to go and should be started as a top-five fantasy QB in lineups this weekend in what is the first week of the fantasy playoffs in most leagues. The Titans defense has been underrated this season, allowing the fewest passing yards (2,459) on the season. However, they've also allowed the 13th-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks through 14 weeks, and Burrow enters Week 15 as the QB3 in overall fantasy points while leading the NFL in passing yards and passing touchdowns.

Joe Burrow Stays Limited On Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee, wrist) was listed as limited for the second straight day this week in Thursday's practice. Burrow was seen wearing a sleeve on his surgically repaired knee in the Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night and came out of the game with some soreness. The 28-year-old might not be exactly 100 percent heading into a Week 16 game against the Tennessee Titans this Sunday, but he's not expected to be in any danger of sitting out. He's likely to practice in full on Friday and be removed from the final injury report. Tennessee hasn't been a friendly matchup for opposing QBs in fantasy this year, but Burrow's body of work in 2024 has made him a must-start, high-end WR1. Burrow is the overall QB3 in fantasy points through 14 weeks, he leads the NFL with 3,706 passing yards and also leads the NFL with his 33 passing touchdowns.

Orlando Brown Still Out Of Practice

Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Orlando Brown (fibula) is missing another practice on Thursday due to a leg injury. The four-time Pro Bowler missed last week's game against the Dallas Cowboys and could be inactive for the game against the Tennessee Titans in Week 15. Luckily, the Titans have generated the sixth-fewest sacks (27) in the NFL this season, so his absence is unlikely to dramatically affect the Bengals' offensive output. If Brown is out again, backup Cody Ford will likely draw another start and be tasked with blocking Harold Landry and Arden Key.

Joe Burrow Dealing With Knee Soreness, Will Practice This Week

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) will practice this week. "Just sore," head coach Zac Taylor said. Burrow was seen wearing a sleeve on his surgically repaired left knee in Monday night's 27-20 win over the Dallas Cowboys. It's something to keep an eye on down the stretch of the season, but Burrow will practice this week and should be fine to start in Week 15 versus the Tennessee Titans. Despite facing a Titans defense that has been surprisingly good in 2024, Burrow should remain a top-five fantasy QB in Week 15 fantasy lineups. The 28-year-old has been dicing up opposing defenses most of the year and enters the week as the QB3 in overall fantasy points, behind only Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. Burrow has a total of 3,706 passing yards and has thrown 33 touchdowns and only six interceptions in 2024. Leave him locked into your starting lineups.
