Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (quad) remains uncertain heading into the Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Higgins suffered a quad injury on Friday and now faces an uphill battle to suit up this weekend. The Bengals are likely going to wait and see how Higgins feels during warmups before making a final decision. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Bengals let Higgins rest as they don't want this to turn into a long term issue. If he sits, Andrei Iosivas would move into the No. 2 role for this offense and become a possible flex option for Week 8.

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.
