  • FA Linebacker #58

    Despite entering contract seasons, Raiders LBs Kirk Morrison and Thomas Howard will both report to training camp on time.
    It looks like the Raiders will avoid any surprise holdouts, aside from perhaps first-round pick Darrius Heyward-Bey. Morrison and Howard both return as every-down linebackers. “Captain” Kirk is the more desirable IDP. Oakland will likely broach extension negotiations with the youngsters in-season.
  • CIN Wide Receiver #5

    Tee Higgins caught 2-of-5 targets for 23 yards in the Bengals’ Week 14 win over the Cowboys.
    Higgins was locked down by a healthy Dallas secondary, running many empty routes while teammate Ja’Marr Chase erupted for a wild 14-177-2 receiving line. Higgins had been targeted fairly heavily the precious six games, wracking up 62 targets while seeing double-digit looks in four of his previous six games. He’ll find a difficult matchup in Week 15 when the Bengals travel to face a Titans defense allowing the fewest pass yards per game.
  • CIN Tight End #88
    Mike Gesicki caught all three targets for 24 yards in the Bengals’ Week 14 win over the Cowboys.
    Gesicki played a muted role against the Cowboys as alpha wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase went absolutely ham to the tune of a 14-177-2 receiving line. Both Tanner Hudson and Drew Sample saw increased offensive snaps in this one, which is going to limit Gesicki’s upside for the remainder of the season.
  • CIN Wide Receiver #80
    Andrei Iosivas caught 4-of-5 targets for 41 yards in the Bengals’ Week 14 win over the Cowboys.
    Iosivas’ only failed reception almost resulted in a fumble and turnover in the fourth quarter, only for the play to be ruled incomplete following further review. Iosivas continues to play a limited complementary role for a Bengals team largely reliant on the exploits of Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Chase Brown.
  • CIN Wide Receiver #1
    Ja’Marr Chase caught 14-of-18 targets for 177 yards and two touchdowns in the Bengals’ Week 14 win over the Cowboys, adding 14 yards on his lone carry.
    Chase saw 18 targets on 44 Joe Burrow pass attempts, making his mark felt throughout. He would send his fantasy score into the stratosphere with under two minutes left to play as he took a simple out route 40 yards to the house to send the Bengals to a 5-8 record. The circumstances of the final possession were even more wild after the Cowboys blocked a punt with under two minutes to play, only for a Dallas player to touch the football beyond the line of scrimmage and for the Bengals to recover it, tilting the trajectory of the game in the process. Next up for Chase are a Titans team allowing the fewest pass yards per game in 2024.
  • CIN Running Back #30
    Chase Brown rushed 14 times for 58 yards in the Bengals’ Week 14 win over the Cowboys, adding 65 yards and a touchdown on six receptions.
    Browns’s 22 running back opportunities vastly paced the backfield, with backup option Khalil Herbert managing just two carries and one target. Brown certainly has the look of a true league-winner down the stretch having seen 22 or more opportunities in four his previous five games without Zack Moss. Brown gets a more difficult matchup in Week 15 when the Bengals travel to Tennessee to face the Titans.
  • CIN Quarterback #9
    Joe Burrow completed 33-of-44 passes for 369 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in the Bengals’ 27-20, Week 14 win over the Cowboys.
    The Cowboys put up a significant fight in this one, taking a 20-20 tie into the two-minute warning. They would then force a punt, which was blocked, touched by the Cowboys, then recovered beyond the line of scrimmage by the Bengals, giving the ball right back to Burrow. A few plays later, Burrow hit a quick out to Ja’Marr Chase who would pivot and leave his defender in the dust on his way to a 40-yard touchdown. The Bengals continue to pass the football with little regard, with Burrow’s 44 pass attempts the third time in the previous four games that he has thrown 44 times or more. Up next for the 5-8 Bengals are the Titans on the road in Week 15.
  • DAL Linebacker #13
    Cowboys LB DeMarvion Overshown (knee) was ruled out for the remainder of the Week 14 game against the Bengals.
    Overshown was rolled up on and remained down on the field. He needed significant help to get off the field but did walk off. That’s where the good news ends as Overshown was almost immediately ruled out for the remainder of the game with a knee injury. It’s a tough blow for an up-and-coming second-year player that missed his entire rookie season with a torn ACL.
  • LAC Tight End #81
    Fox’s Jordan Schultz reports Chargers TE Will Dissly (shoulder) is expected to miss “a couple weeks.”
    Dissly was forced from the team’s Sunday Night Football loss to the Chiefs in Week 14 with a shoulder injury. Per Schultz, initial testing revealed an injury significant enough to hold him out in the coming weeks. Journeyman Stone Smartt filled in for Dissly in the second half and stands to benefit the most from the former’s absence. He could be an option for fantasy managers in a bind at one of the most top-heavy positions in football.
  • SEA Running Back #9
    Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald said RB Kenneth Walker (calf) will undergo further testing on his injured calf.
    Macdonald added that his status for Week 15 is still unknown after the lead back was forced to miss the team’s Week 14 win over the Cardinals. The team should know more in the next 24-48 hours. Zach Charbonnet remains a locked-in RB1 for as long as Walker remains sidelined in what has become a workhorse role.
  • DAL Cornerback #7
    Cowboys declared LB Damone Clark, WR Jalen Brooks, DB Juanyeh Thomas, RB Deuce Vaughn, LB Tyrus Wheat, and CB Andrew Booth inactive for Week 14 against the Bengals.
    No real surprises here. The bigger news is that cornerback Trevon Diggs is active after missing the previous two games, meaning the Cowboys will have their complete starting cornerback unit all active for the first time this season. They’ll likely find themselves busy against the pass-heavy nature of the Cincinnati offense.
