Fantasy Impact

Higgins missed Thursday’s practice. He’s still dealing with a mildly serious quad injury, and it looks like it’s going to leave him sidelined for another game in Week 9. That’s bad news for the fantasy value of Joe Burrow, but fantasy managers can expect him to look Ja’Marr Chase‘s way often in a matchup against the Raiders.

Fantasy Impact

The Bengals listed Higgins late with a quad injury, and he will not be available for Week 8 after not being seen during warmups. Higgins has a history of soft-tissue injuries, and fans certainly hope this will not develop into a multi-week injury as is common for Higgins. WR Andrei Iosivas and TE Mike Gesicki will likely see increased snaps and targets like they did when Higgins was out early in the year with a hamstring injury, and rookie WR Jermaine Burton is a deep player to monitor.

Fantasy Impact

Higgins injured his quad during Friday’s practice. The Bengals are planning to go right up until game time before deciding, but there’s pessimism about his chances to play. If he is sidelined, Andrei Iosivas would be on the streaming radar.
