Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown now sits atop the depth chart. While Zack Moss remains involved, he had only six carries for seven yards in Week 7 versus the Browns. On the other hand, Brown logged 15 touches for 44 yards to end the day. Although Moss has the edge in red zone opportunities so far this season, Brown is by far a safer fantasy option for Week 8 versus the Philadelphia Eagles. With that in mind, the Eagles have been solid against opposing running backs throughout the 2024-25 campaign, so the 24-year-old is hard to trust in any fantasy format.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas began the 2024-25 campaign by finding the end zone three times in the team's first three games. However, he's cooled off significantly of late, totaling only four catches in the last four contests. Without question, managers no longer consider Iosivas a starting fantasy option. It's also likely he's worked his way off of fantasy rosters altogether. But if Tee Higgins (quadriceps) isn't available for the Week 8 clash with the Philadelphia Eagles, Iosivas should enter the flex conversation. To be safe, fantasy managers should immediately grab the 25-year-old off waivers, where available.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase has been on a roll of late. After not finding the end zone in the Bengals' first two games of the 2024-25 campaign, the wideout has scored in four of his previous five appearances. Tee Higgins (quadriceps) has been getting more targets. However, with Higgins uncertain to suit up in Week 8 against the Eagles, Chase could see an uptick in attention from Joe Burrow. But regardless of Higgins' availability, Chase is a must-start.
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow looks to lead his squad to a .500 record with a win over Philadelphia in Week 8. The signal-caller has been a quality fantasy quarterback in 2024-25. In the Bengals' seven games this season, he's thrown at least two or more touchdowns in five of those contests. Burrow has also completed 70.4% of his throws. Tee Higgins (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday's contest. However, Burrow still has Ja'Marr Chase at his disposal. Andrei Iosivas, who had three touchdowns in the first three games of the season, should also have no issues filling the void if Higgins can't go. Keep Burrow starting in all fantasy formats versus Philly.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (quad) is considered questionable ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Higgins was fine throughout the week, but must've suffered a quad injury in practice. This puts Higgins is serious danger of missing Sunday's game considering it's already Friday. If he sits, Andrei Iosivas would shift into the No. 2 role while rookie Jermaine Burton would become the third wideout. Iosivas has been quiet throughout most of the season, but the absence of Higgins would give him some streaming appeal. Also, Ja'Marr Chase would likely become even more important to this offense, so his value would see an uptick as well.
