Cincinnati Bengals

Cincinnati Bengals running back Zack Moss got sick on Friday night, which is why he wasn't involved in Saturday's preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, head coach Zac Taylor told Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. Moss and Chase Brown are competing for touches in Cincinnati this season, so any sort of absence for Moss is less than ideal. With that said, he has impressed the coaching staff in camp and still has two more preseason games to showcase himself within the Bengals' offense. If Moss' performance with the Indianapolis Colts last season is any indication, he still has plenty of fuel left in the tank. Through 14 games (eight starts) with the Colts, he posted 794 rushing yards, 192 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns. He's an appealing high-end RB3 option in fantasy football this year.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning completed just 10 of 18 passes for 52 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception during Saturday's preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also rushed for an additional five yards on two attempts. Browning re-signed with Cincinnati as their No. 2 quarterback this offseason, and while he remains in position to be Joe Burrow's backup, the competition got a little more interesting as Browning struggled and Logan Woodside excelled against the Buccaneers. Browning should get additional opportunities to separate himself from Woodside over the Bengals' two remaining preseason games. Even if Browning does win the backup job, he'll remain off the fantasy radar as long as Burrow is healthy.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Logan Woodside completed eight of 12 passes for 149 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Saturday's preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Woodside didn't enter the game until the fourth quarter, which means he's third on the depth chart behind Joe Burrow and Jake Browning. Nevertheless, Woodside might have inched a bit closer to the backup job by limiting incompletions, racking up yards, and leading a scoring drive. He still faces a challenge to surpass Browning on the depth chart, but Saturday's game was a step in the right direction. He'll presumably get two more opportunities to showcase himself as the Bengals move through their preseason schedule this month.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow completed five of seven passes for 51 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The star quarterback (and the primary offense as a whole) only played the first drive of the game, but they took advantage of their limited playing time by putting seven points on the board. For Burrow, injuries have been a major storyline throughout his young career. He missed six games as a rookie and seven last year, creating significant problems for the Bengals and fantasy managers alike. The wrist injury he suffered late in 2023 seems to have healed, but Cincinnati will likely continue to exercise caution with their franchise quarterback as Week 1 approaches. Once the season kicks off, Burrow will rank as a strong QB1 option for as long as he can stay healthy.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins hauled in two of his three targets for 19 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Unsurprisingly, Higgins ran with the primary offense led by Joe Burrow, which only played the first drive of the game. It was a successful possession, too, as Burrow linked up with many of his favorite starters, including Higgins for the score. The 25-year-old receiver is ready to put this offseason's contract drama behind him. He'll play under the franchise tag in 2024, continuing to operate as the No. 2 option behind Ja'Marr Chase in Cincinnati. Higgins often performs at his best when Chase is on the field. He's a solid WR2 option in fantasy football this year.
