Cincinnati Bengals

Dohnte Meyers

WR

With Andrei Iosivas (thumb) on injured reserve, Meyers has settled in as the Bengals' third receiver behind target hogs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Meyers would need an injury to one of those two to become relevant again in fantasy.

Samaje Perine

RB

Perine logged two more carries than Chase Brown in the game, but Brown out-produced him with 57 rushing yards. Perine has continued to operate in a modest role as the Bengals' No. 2 option in the backfield, and he would stand to be a valuable fantasy asset in the case that Brown is forced to miss any action down the road this season.

Andrei Iosivas

WR

Cincinnati has yet to open Iosivas' 21-day practice window since he landed on IR on Sept. 26, so until that happens, the wideout's return to game action shouldn't be considered imminent. While Iosivas has been sidelined for the Bengals' past six games, Dohnte Meyers has been serving as the primary No. 3 wideout behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and tight end Mike Gesicki has also benefited from an expanded profile in the passing attack.

Evan McPherson

PK

McPherson was able to convert multiple field-goal tries in a game for the first time since Week 3, nailing a 57-yarder in the final moments of the first half before later adding a 43-yard make in the fourth quarter. The kicker had gone back-to-back games without a field-goal attempt, but he has now gone a perfect 12-for-12 on field-goal tries, including 6-for-6 from 50-plus yards, over eight contests this season.

Mike Gesicki

TE

Gesicki entered Week 9 having scored a touchdown in five straight games, and he saw his streak come to an end Sunday. The tight end was able to reel in multiple passes for the second straight week and fifth time this season, but his 11 receiving yards left much to be desired. Gesicki has now reeled in 19 of 26 targets for 252 yards and six touchdowns over eight regular-season games so far this year.

Chase Brown

RB

Samaje Perine actually saw more volume on the ground with 11 carries for 43 yards, but most of his workload came in the fourth quarter as the Bengals were grinding down the clock. Brown has yet to top 80 rushing yards in a game this season and he hasn't gotten into the end zone since Week 1, a disappointing first half of the year for a running back who amassed at least 1,300 scrimmage yards with double-digit scores each of the prior two campaigns. Brown will look for an opportunity to break out in Week 10 during a crucial AFC North battle against the Steelers.

Tee Higgins

WR

While he didn't see big volume, Higgins made his opportunities count, connecting with Joe Burrow on a four-yard TD in the second quarter and an eight-yard score in the third. Higgins has hit paydirt five times in the last three games, and on the season he's produced a 48-758-6 line on 67 targets through eight contests. He'll look to extend his scoring streak in Week 10 during a crucial AFC North clash with the Steelers.

Ja'Marr Chase

WR

The superstar wideout hit the ground running in Madrid, capping Cincinnati's first drive with a 47-yard touchdown catch from Joe Burrow. It was Chase's fourth straight game getting into the end zone, a stretch in which he's delivered a stellar 32-435-4 line on 45 targets, and Sunday's 155 receiving yards were a season high. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 10 during a crucial AFC North battle against the Steelers.

Joe Burrow

QB

It was a nearly flawless performance from Burrow, as he hit Ja'Marr Chase for a 47-yard score in the first quarter and tossed a pair of shorter TDs to Tee Higgins later in the contest. The superstar QB also got into the end zone on a goal-line sneak in the second quarter. It's the fourth straight game in which Burrow has produced at least four touchdowns, an incredible stretch in which he's completed 77.0 percent of his passes for 1,215 yards with a 16:3 TD:INT plus two more scores on the ground. The Bengals, not coincidentally, are 4-0 in that span. Burrow will look to stay locked in for a big AFC North clash against the Steelers in Week 10.

Cedric Johnson

DE

Johnson suffered an ankle injury last Sunday versus the Titans, and he subsequently followed a DNP/LP/FP practice regimen during Week 9 prep before getting a questionable designation ahead of Sunday's international matchup. Now that he's confirmed to be active, he should be good for his normal 20-30 percent weekly defensive snap share.

Jordan Battle

S

DJ Turner II

CB

Turner was injured in last Sunday's overtime win against the Titans and was unable to return. He avoided a serious injury and will be ready to do battle with Drake London in Spain on Sunday.

Cashius Howell

DE

Howell suffered a right wrist injury during Sunday's overtime win against the Titans, and he will now be forced to miss at least four contests as a result. The defensive lineman has already undergone surgery, per Mike Petraglia of CLNSCincy.com, and in Howell's absence, Shemar Stewart will stand to see an increase in workload at defensive end.

Mitchell Tinsley

WR

Colbie Young

WR

Though quarterback Joe Burrow set season highs in passing yards (462) and passing touchdowns (five), Young didn't see any involvement while the targets were highly concentrated among Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Chase Brown. The fourth-round pick out of Georgia has held a bit role so far during his rookie season, recording two catches for nine yards on two targets through five appearances.

Joe Giles-Harris

LB

Erick All Jr.

TE

All, who sustained the injury in Sunday's win over the Ravens, has now torn the ACL in his right knee three times during his career. He first tore the ACL during his final collegiate season at Iowa in 2023, then had his 2024 rookie campaign with the Bengals cut short after damaging the ligament again. Given the timing of the injury along with the fact that he'll be working his way back from a third surgery of the same knee, All is far from guaranteed to be ready to play when the 2027 season gets underway.

Barrett Carter

LB

Carter didn't play every defensive snap for just the first time this season, but his nine stops were tied with Bryan Cook for most on the Bengals. Carter has logged at least five stops in each of the first six games of the regular season and is up to 50 tackles (22 solo), including 1.5 sacks, three pass defenses and one forced fumble in 2026.

Boye Mafe

DE

Mafe got to Tyler Huntley for a six-yard sack midway through the first quarter before splitting another sack with Bryan Cook in the fourth. Mafe has logged at least 1.0 sacks in three consecutive games and is up to 4.5 sacks through six regular-season games, which already surpasses his total from 2025 with Seattle (2.0 sacks across 17 regular-season contests).

Bryan Cook

S

Cook and Boye Mafe combined for a split sack on Tyler Huntley midway through the fourth quarter, which was Cook's first sack since his rookie year in 2022. The fifth-year safety is up to 26 tackles (18 solo), including 0.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery through five regular-season games.

Demetrius Knight Jr.

LB

Knight finished third on the team in tackles behind Bryan Cook and Barrett Carter during the victory, in addition to snagging his first interception of the campaign. The 26-year-old continues to have a productive season, as he's now recorded seven or more tackles in five of his six appearances, bringing his total on the campaign to 50 (21 solo).
