Cincinnati Bengals

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 181 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns. The signal-caller was relatively quiet in the Week 6 win over the New York Giants. However, things were different in Week 7, with Burrow completing his fifth game this season with at least two touchdown passes. He's been one of the top fantasy quarterbacks all year, so there's no reason why he shouldn't be featured in fantasy lineups in Week 8 versus the Philadelphia Eagles.

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert was included in Ian Rapport's list of "players whose names are generating interest in trade discussions." The 26-year-old has spent his entire career in Chicago, where he has had some solid showings. However, he's having the worst season of his career, amassing only eight carries for 16 yards and a touchdown. The Bears currently deploy D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson out of the backfield, leaving little room for Herbert to get involved. While he's not worth a roster spot in fantasy leagues, his stock could rise significantly moving ahead if he gets moved, so the situation is worth monitoring.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins missed the first two games of the 2024-25 campaign. He returned for the Week 3 matchup with the Commanders, although he had just three catches. Since then, the wideout has received routine attention from Joe Burrow, amassing at least six receptions in each of his last three games. He also found the end zone twice in the Week 5 loss to the Ravens. With the Browns on tap for Week 7, Higgins and company will look to pick up their second consecutive win. While Higgins hasn't played the greatest versus Cleveland over the years, the Browns defense has struggled against opposing receivers this season, making him a must-start in any fantasy setup.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had a slow start to the 2024-25 campaign. However, he found the end zone five times in the three games leading up to the Week 6 victory over the Giants. Although the wideout had only five catches for 72 yards in that one, things could have been worse. He will look to get on track versus Cleveland on Sunday. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Chase has struggled against the Browns throughout his career, amassing 27 grabs for 252 yards and a touchdown (five games). Still, he's one of the best receivers in the National Football League, so he must be featured in all fantasy lineups in Week 7.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Zack Moss entered the Week 6 meeting with the New York Giants battling an ankle injury. As a result, the 26-year-old had only six carries for 13 yards. He also played fewer snaps than Chase Brown for the first time this season. While it appears Brown is now Cincinnati's lead rusher out of the backfield, Moss remains at least a flex option for the Week 7 AFC North clash with the Cleveland Browns. However, if he doesn't turn it around on Sunday, fantasy managers may have to reconsider his spot in the starting lineup moving ahead.
