Cincinnati Bengals DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins was "feeling better" on Saturday. However, while the Bengals hope he can get on the field versus the Philadelphia Eagles, the team will play it safe by keeping him out if necessary. Higgins has been on a roll of late, scoring three touchdowns in the last three weeks, so his absence would be a tough blow for a club looking to get to .500. With that said, if the wideout doesn't play, Andrei Iosivas would immediately enter the flex conversation.

According to ESPN's Dan Graziano, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (quad) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's outing against the Philadelphia Eagles. Higgins picked up a quad injury in Friday's practice, and per Graziano, there's "pessimism" around his status for the team's Week 8 matchup. Reportedly, Cincinnati will push it right until game time to give him a designation. Fantasy managers will want to have a contingency plan in place in case he can't suit up. Fortunately, the Bengals and Eagles square off in Sunday's main slate of games, so we'll know early on whether or not he's a go. If Higgins can't play, wide receiver Andrei Iosivas will slot in for two wide-receiver sets, while rookie wideout Jermaine Burton should slide in as the team's third option. Keep an eye on the 25-year-old's status.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Zack Moss ran for just seven yards off six carries in the Week 7 win over the Browns. The 26-year-old found the end zone in three of the Bengals' first four games in 2024-25. However, he's gone cold since then, with Chase Brown emerging as the lead back in Cincinnati. While the backfield situation can change at any time, Moss may not be the safest fantasy option for Week 8 against the Eagles. The same can be said for Brown.

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.
