Tee Higgins - Dealing with injury Higgins missed Wednesday's practice with a shoulder injury, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
Impact Bengals head coach Zac Taylor didn't elaborate on Higgins' injury earlier Wednesday when he revealed that the wideout would miss practice. There was no sign of Higgins playing through injury based on his Week 2 box-score line, as he caught six of his team-high 10 targets for 60 yards and a touchdown while playing 91 percent of offensive snaps in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bears. He'll face the Steelers this weekend if he's healthy enough to play, while either Auden Tate or Mike Thomas will step up to a top-three role if Higgins is out.

Tee Higgins - Set to miss practice Wednesday Cincinnati head coach Zac Taylor said that Higgins won't practice Wednesday due to an unspecified injury, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
Impact The wideout is thus considered day-to-day as Sunday's game against the Steelers approaches. Wednesday's upcoming injury report will reveal what sort of injury Higgins is dealing with, but if he's out or limited this weekend, more targets would be freed up for Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd.

C.J. Uzomah - Quiet in loss Uzomah secured both of his targets for four yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bears.
Impact Uzomah played 73 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps in Week 2, but the tight end has not been a big part of the game plan so far this season. The 6-foot-6, 260-pounder is operating as the team's No. 1 tight end, as his teammate Drew Sample only played 38 percent of Cincinnati's offensive snaps without being targeted, but both have mainly been used as blockers. Uzomah will be hard to trust in fantasy lineups this season given a crowded group of pass catchers on the field for the Bengals including Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd and Ja'Marr Chase.
SEPTEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Evans - Catches one pass in loss Evans caught his only target for 14 yards and failed to record a single rushing attempt in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bears.
Impact Evans played on only two of Cincinnati's 55 offensive snaps in the contest. The rookie running back is third on the depth chart and has been an afterthought in the offensive game plan through two weeks. With starter Joe Mixon handling all three downs, Evans may not find many opportunities to utilize his pass-catching skills this season.
SEPTEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Samaje Perine - Plays three offensive snaps Perine failed to secure his one target and did not record a single rushing attempt in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bears.
Impact Perine was a non-factor, playing only three snaps on offense. Joe Mixon, on the other hand, continues to be the focal point of the running game while playing 46 offensive snaps in the contest. With such little usage, Perine remains far off the fantasy radar. The 26-year-old would need an injury to Mixon to create a path to fantasy relevance.

D.J. Reader - Records first sack of season Reader totaled three tackles and one sack during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bears.
Impact Reader only played in five games during his first season with the Bengals due to a quadriceps injury, but he looks poised to put his lost season behind him. The 27-year-old has played more than 50.0 percent of the Bengals' defensive snaps in each game so far.
SEPTEMBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Hendrickson - Records first sack of season Hendrickson recorded three tackles (1 solo), 1.5 sacks and one forced fumble during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bears.
Impact Hendrickson played 68 snaps in Week 1 and failed to record a single tackle. He bounced back in Week 2 as he continually got pressure on the Bears' quarterbacks. The 26-year-old totaled 13.5 sacks last year with the Saints, and the Bengals have high expectations for him moving forward.
