INJURIES

Tee Higgins - Not seen at practice Higgins (ankle) doesn't appear to be practicing Wednesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Impact He's coming off back-to-back weeks with 100-plus yards and a touchdown, despite dealing with cramping in the first game and an ankle injury late in the second one. A report after Sunday's loss to the Chargers suggested Higgins wasn't expected to miss time, but his absence from practice Wednesday means fantasy manager will need to keep tabs on the situation ahead of Sunday's game against the Niners.

Burrow says injured pinky won't sideline him against 49ers

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow says his injured pinky finger on his throwing hand won’t keep him out of Sunday's game against San Francisco

San Francisco 49ers vs. Cincinnati Bengals Week 14 Game Preview Here's NFL Network's preview of everything you need to know before the 49ers take on the Bengals in Week 14 of the 2021 NFL season.

Joe Mixon - Sidelined Wednesday Mixon will miss Wednesday's practice due to an illness that isn't believed to be COVID-19-related, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
Impact Meanwhile, head coach Zac Taylor indicated that the neck issue Mixon dealt with during the team's Week 13 loss to the Chargers isn't a concern, per Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer. With Mixon sidelined Wednesday, Samaje Perine is presumably in line to handle the first-team reps at running back for the Bengals' first Week 14 practice.

Joe Burrow - Plans to work Wednesday Burrow relayed Wednesday that his right pinkie finger is feeling better, despite a degree swelling, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Burrow -- who hasn't thrown since Sunday -- added that he plans to practice a little bit Wednesday. Whether that translates into him officially being listed as a limited participant remains to be seen, but in any case, the signal-caller maintains that he doesn't foresee missing Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Kansas City Chiefs knock Arizona Cardinals off top spot in Nick Wright's NFL tiers

There can be only one squad at the top of Nick Wright's NFL tiers, and Kansas City is it — by the slimmest of margins.

Kansas City Chiefs knock Arizona Cardinals off top spot in Nick Wright's NFL tiers
C.J. Uzomah - Catches three passes in loss Uzomah secured three of six targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 41-22 loss to the Chargers.
Impact Though Uzomah saw his highest offensive snap share of the season (87 percent), the veteran tight end had yet another underwhelming stat line. In an offense with several talented pass catchers and a thriving rushing attack, Uzomah will likely continue to struggle to produce for fantasy managers.
DECEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
D'Ante Smith - Returns to practice Wednesday Smith was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Smith has been on injured reserve with a meniscus injury since mid-October. His return to practice Wednesday starts the 21-day window for him to be added to the active roster. However, if he isn't, he will revert back to injured reserve for the remainder of the season.
DECEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Drew Sample - Not targeted in loss Sample failed to draw a single target in Sunday's 41-22 loss to the Chargers.
Impact Sample was on the field for 26 of the Bengals' 76 offensive snaps in the contest, while starting tight end C.J. Uzomah played 66 snaps. Sample offers little fantasy value as a No. 2 tight end, as the 25-year-old typically serves as the blocker on the rare occasions he's on the field.
DECEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Trae Waynes - Designated to return from IR Waynes (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Waynes was sidelined for the first three weeks of the year with a hamstring injury and was able to briefly return to action before aggravating it again during Week 5's loss to the Packers. The 2015 first-round pick has been on injured reserve since, but his return to practice is a solid step in the right direction. He will now have a 21-day window to be added to the active roster, but if he isn't, he will revert back to injured reserve for the remainder of the season.
DECEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Samaje Perine - Minimal workload in loss Perine carried five times for 36 yards and caught both of his targets for five yards in Sunday's 41-22 loss to the Chargers.
Impact With Joe Mixon operating as a true bell cow back for the Bengals, little work was left over for Perine. Though he offers little fantasy value in his present role, Perine makes sense as a handcuff for Mixon's fantasy managers in the event the latter misses time over the final five weeks of the regular season.

Sam Hubbard - Nearing new career high in sacks Hubbard totaled five tackles and a half sack in Sunday's 41-22 loss to the Chargers.
Impact Hubbard has been one of the league's more productive pass rushers over his last six games, racking up six sacks and tallying 27 stops over that span. He's now up to 7.5 sacks on the season, putting him well on his way to surpassing his previous career high (8.5) from 2019 with five games to go.

Banged-up Bengals dealing with Burrow's finger injury

The Cincinnati Bengals will have to try to bounce back from a mistake-filled loss to the Los Angeles Chargers
DECEMBER 6, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Germaine Pratt - Strong impact in loss Pratt had nine tackles (three solo), a forced fumble and a fumble recovery during Sunday's 41-22 loss to the Chargers.
Impact Pratt played all but two defensive snaps and had his most productive game of the season Sunday. The 2019 third-round pick averages just over five tackles per contest and has limited IDP appeal.
DECEMBER 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Joe Burrow - Could be limited in practice Head coach Zac Taylor said Burrow could be limited in practice for the start of Week 14 prep after dislocating his right pinkie finger in Sunday's 41-22 loss to the Chargers, Maris...
Impact According to Ben Baby of ESPN.com, Taylor noted that Burrow "feels good" after playing through the injury Sunday, but the second-year quarterback could get some extra maintenance early on this week in any case to relieve some of the pressure on his pinkie finger. Unless the finger swells up and presents more difficulty with his throwing in practice than expected, Burrow doesn't look to be at any major risk of missing the Bengals' upcoming game against the 49ers this weekend.
