Bears QB Trevor Siemian suffered an oblique injury in pregame warmups, so QB Nathan Peterman will now get the start vs. the Jets. Siemian wasn't a great option, but Peterman is even worse. He's somehow managed to toss 12 INTs on 135 career pass attempts. You should try to avoid Chicago's passing game in Week 12 fantasy lineups. The Jets defense is an elite play.

11:31am EST 11/27/22

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) is officially inactive for today’s game vs. the Titans. He got in 3 limited practices this week and seems to be trending toward a Week 13 return.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) is not expected to play vs. the Titans today. He's seemingly making good progress with his rehab and should tentatively be expected back for Week 13. His absence today boosts the target projections for WRs Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd.

The Score's Jordan Schultz reports that Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) will not play vs. the Titans on Sunday. "I’m told the Bengals’ All-Pro WR had a good week of practice, but isn’t quite ready to return from a hairline hip fracture and torn labrum," Schultz tweets. This conflicts with NFL Network's take that Chase was trending toward returning for this one -- but Schultz's reports tend to be on point. We should get further updates on Chase's status on Sunday morning and will get Cincinnati's inactives at 11:30 am ET.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) is a game-time decision but is "trending in the right direction" to play vs. the Titans on Sunday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Rapoport adds that Chase was originally expected to miss more time but that his doctor's appointment last week was "exceptionally positive." Insider Mike Garafolo adds that Chase will still be "battling through" the hip issue. He was limited in practice all week -- and it's certainly possible that his snaps and/or effectiveness are limited tomorrow.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) got in 3 limited practices this week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. HC Zac Taylor said the final decision on whether Chase returns for this one will come on Sunday. We’ll look for reports on Chase’s status that morning and will get Cincinnati’s inactives around 11:30 am ET.

Bengals RB Joe Mixon (concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Titans. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 13. His absence leaves Samaje Perine as Cincinnati's lead back, although the matchup against Tennessee's 5th-ranked RB defense makes him as more of a low-end RB2 in fantasy lineups. Chris Evans is set to return from his knee injury and should operate as the #2 RB on Sunday.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) put in his 2nd straight limited practice on Thursday. It's still unclear if he'll be ready to play vs. the Titans this weekend. Check back tomorrow for another update on Chase.

Bengals RB Joe Mixon (concussion) did not practice on Thursday. He's now a big long shot to be cleared in time for Sunday's game vs. the Titans. Look for Samaje Perine to operate as Cincinnati's lead back in that one.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. QB Joe Burrow expects Chase to play vs. the Titans this weekend, but HC Zac Taylor has remained non-committal. We'll get another update on Chase tomorrow.

Bengals RB Joe Mixon remains in concussion protocol, HC Zac Taylor said Wednesday. Mixon still has an outside chance to be cleared for this weekend's game vs. the Titans, but fantasy owners should be planning on being without him for Week 12 for now. If Mixon sits, Samaje Perine will be a volume-based, lower-end RB2 in a tough matchup.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow said Wednesday that he expects WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) to return for this weekend's game vs. the Titans. That, of course, is far from a guarantee that Chase will be back. But Week 12 has reportedly been the target for his return for a while now. We'll keep a close eye on his status over the next few days.

Bengals HC Zac Taylor labeled WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) "day to day" on Monday. Chase is expected to return to practice this week, but Taylor was non-committal on his availability for Sunday's game vs. the Titans. We'll keep a close eye on him throughout the week.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow finished Sunday as the #2 fantasy QB for the week, trailing only Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes. Burrow racked up 355 yards and 4 TDs in the win over the Steelers. It's his 1st 4-TD game of the season but 3rd game with 3+ among his past 5 outings. Burrow also threw 2 INTs, meaning 6 of his 8 INTs for the season have come against Pittsburgh. WR Tee Higgins dominated the market shares for targets, catches and yards, but RB Samaje Perine claimed 3 of the 4 receiving TDs. The other went to WR Trenton Irwin. Burrow gets a pass-funnel matchup at Tennessee in Week 12.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins set season highs in targets (13), receptions (9) and receiving yards (148) in Sunday's win over the Steelers. He accounted for 33.3% of QB Joe Burrow's pass attempts, 37.5% of the completions and 41.7% of the receiving yardage. RB Samaje Perine was the only other Bengal to catch more than 3 passes. WR Tyler Boyd finished 2nd on the team with 7 targets but caught only 2 for 42 yards. TE Hayden Hurst caught 2 of 3 targets for 28 yards. Week 12 presents a Titans matchup that should further motivate the Bengals to go pass-heavy -- especially if RB Joe Mixon (concussion) is out. The team reportedly hopes to have WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) back for that game. His return would hurt the fantasy outlook for Boyd more than Higgins.

Bengals RB Joe Mixon has been ruled out of Sunday's game vs. the Steelers with a concussion. It's his 2nd documented concussion, with the 1st coming back in 2017. We'll track Mixon's progress through the protocol this coming week. His absence leaves Samaje Perine as Cincinnati's top RB.

Bengals RB Joe Mixon left in the 3rd quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Steelers to get checked for a concussion. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Mixon has been ruled out for the game with a concussion.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) is "improving" and got "very good news" on his rehab at a recent doctor appointment, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Chase is off crutches, per Rapoport, and "has a chance" to practice and play this coming week. We'll keep a close eye on Chase's progress when Cincinnati gets back to work on Wednesday.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Steelers. The team is reportedly “hopeful” that Chase will be back for Week 12, but he was still on crutches as of Monday. We’ll track his status this coming week.

As expected, Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) did not practice on Wednesday. He was still on crutches as of Monday, and the latest report has the Bengals hoping for a Week 12 return.
