Why it might be time to take restraints off Joe Burrow and the Bengals playbook The Bengals have mobility, efficiency, Ja’Marr Chase deep balls and QB swagger, and the stars are aligning for No. 9 to shine brighter.

C.J. Uzomah - Catchless in win Uzomah failed to record a catch in Sunday's 24-10 win against the Steelers.
Impact Uzomah was targeted just once in the contest. While the veteran tight end played on a healthy 70 percent of Cincinnati's offensive snaps, he continues to be an afterthought on a team flush with talented pass catchers. Uzomah can be safely ignored for fantasy purposes going forward unless his involvement in the Bengals' offense drastically changes. Uzomah will look to turn things around Thursday in a Week 4 matchup against the Jaguars.

Mike Thomas - Catches one pass in win Thomas caught his only target for 19 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Steelers.
Impact Thomas played on just 10 offensive snaps in the contest, amounting to a 21 percent share. Even with fellow wideout Tee Higgins sidelined with a shoulder injury, the 27-year-old was not a big part of the Bengals' game plan. Through three weeks, Thomas has totaled 24 yards on just two catches. Thomas remains well off the fantasy radar entering a Week 4 tilt against the Jaguars.

Sam Hubbard - Notches sack Hubbard posted six tackles (four solo) and a sack in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Steelers.
Impact Hubbard has now accrued 17 tackles (11 solo) and 1.5 sacks through three games. His high tackle count is encouraging for IDP purposes, and it would be a major step up if he could get back to the 8.5-sack point that he produced in 2019.
SEPTEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Logan Wilson - Posts 14 stops, two picks in win Wilson produced 14 tackles (six solo), two pass breakups and two interceptions in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Steelers.
Impact Wilson is breaking out in the IDP world, as he has accrued 30 tackles (12 solo), three pass breakups and three interceptions through three games. The 2020 third-round pick is handling a significant snap share -- 82 percent or more each week -- so he's capable of keeping his tackling numbers up in the long term.
SEPTEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Trae Waynes - Full speed ahead Waynes (hamstring) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Impact Waynes has yet to play a down for the Bengals since signing a three-year, $42 million contract in March of 2020. However, the 2015 first-round pick looks ready for his debut as the team's top cornerback when rookie QB Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars come to town Thursday. During his last full season in 2019, Waynes recorded 58 tackles (56 solo), eight pass breakups, two forced fumbles and an interception.
SEPTEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jessie Bates III - Sits out practice Bates (neck) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Impact Bates has yet to miss a game since entering the league as a second-round pick in 2018. However, he has missed two straight practices, which doesn't bode well for that streak. Bates is a high-end option when he's on the field, as he's accrued 22 tackles (16 solo) so far. Brandon Wilson would likely start at free safety Thursday against the Jaguars if Bates can't go.
SEPTEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Tee Higgins - Officially DNP Higgins (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Impact Higgins underwent an evaluation Tuesday to determine the extent of his injury, and it appears he didn't receive encouraging news. The 22-year-old wideout was marked as DNP for the second straight session. He's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Thursday's home matchup against the Jaguars. If Higgins sits out, Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd will serve as Joe Burrow's top receiving options.
SEPTEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Auden Tate - One catch Tate caught his first reception of the season Sunday against the Steelers, good for 14 yards.
Impact Even with Tee Higgins out, Tate barely factored into the Bengals offense, getting just that one catch on his only target. Mike Thomas is just as much of a factor in the offense as Tate, though that might change in a game where the Bengals throw more.
SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Evans - Two catches Evans had two catches for 26 yards in Sunday's win over the Steelers.
Impact Should the Bengals get into a situation where they need to throw more frequently, Evans could see a small uptick in snaps, but he's clearly the third option to earn any carries.
SEPTEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Samaje Perine - Limited opportunities Perine played nine offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Steelers, netting one carry and one catch for a total of seven yards.
Impact So far the Bengals have held firm that Joe Mixon is a workhorse back, and the tiny remainder has been split between Perine and Chris Evans. It'll take an injury to Mixon for Perine to be a factor.

Tee Higgins - Not participating Tuesday Higgins (shoulder) wasn't dressed during the part of Tuesday's practice open to the media, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Higgins appears poised to go down as a non-participant on a second straight injury report, after he was listed as DNP on Monday's practice estimate. The Bengals will reveal as much in the near future, but it seems as if the evaluation that coach Zac Taylor said Higgins would undergo on his shoulder issue Tuesday didn't yield positive results.
