Bengals Beat: TE C.J. Uzomah should see uptick in production

Sep 08, 2020

The Bengals are counting on C.J. Uzomah and Drew Sample to help fill the void left by Tyler Eifert, who ranks sixth all-time in franchise history in receiving yards for a tight end.

Fantasy Impact:

Even though Eifert was the most productive tight end in 2019, Uzomah was the team’s starter. Uzomah started all 16 games and was in for over 58% of the club’s snaps. Eifert was primarily used as a red zone target. This year without Eifert on the roster, Uzomah should see an uptick in production as his role expands the story went on to say.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill officially Questionable for Week 16

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist/personal) was limited in practice today and is now questionable for Sunday vs. San Francisco.

WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) didn't practice all week and is doubtful.

Related Players: Jonnu Smith, Malik Washington, River Cracraft

Fantasy Impact:

We're assuming Hill will be fine by kickoff, but it's definitely a situation worth keeping an eye on. He's currently projected as a WR2, with Jonnu Smith possibly absorbing even more work with Waddle unlikely to see the field.

Rams TE Tyler Higbee (knee/illness) is off the injury report and set to make his season debut Sunday vs. the Jets.

Related Players: Colby Parkinson, Hunter Long, Davis Allen

Fantasy Impact:

This is awesome news for Higbee, who had a brutal injury last January but should see the field here in Week 16. This is a complete stay-away in typical fantasy leagues, but he's an interesting target in playoff-only formats, depending on whether or not you believe the Rams will be contenders.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo officially Out for Week 16

49ers injury report vs. Dolphins:
Out
RB Isaac Guerendo (foot, hamstring)
OT Trent Williams (ankle)
Questionable
DE Nick Bosa (hip, oblique)
LB Dre Greenlaw (Achilles, knee)
DE Robert Beal (ankle)
(Approximately, 70% of the players the 49ers listed as questionable have played.)

Related Players: Patrick Taylor, Kyle Juszczyk, Israel Abanikanda

Fantasy Impact:

We're assuming Taylor will now be the next, next man up, but they also have Abanikanda, as well as Ke'Shawn Vaughn on the practice squad. Taylor should be considered somewhere in the RB3 range if Guerendo is out, but the others should just be on WW watch for now.
