Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 12 contest against the New England Patriots. Higgins exited in the fourth quarter after his head hit the turf while attempting to catch a pass. He was taken to the locker room for evaluation and quickly ruled out. The 26-year-old finishes the game with six targets, five catches, and 31 receiving yards. Cincinnati finds itself very short-staffed on offense with Joe Burrow (foot) on IR, Ja'Marr Chase suspended, Tahj Brooks (concussion) ruled out, and now Higgins sidelined. Andrei Iosivas, Mitch Tinsley, and Charlie Jones will operate as the top wide receivers in Joe Flacco's offense for the remainder of Week 12.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Tahj Brooks (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 12 contest against the New England Patriots. He was initially listed as questionable while being evaluated, but shortly after, the team downgraded him to out. Brooks finishes Week 12 with five rushing yards on two carries, as well as one uncaught target. On special teams, his lone return went for 20 yards. With Samaje Perine (ankle) sidelined, Gary Brightwell will take over as the No. 2 running back behind Chase Brown for the rest of Sunday's game.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Tahj Brooks (head) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 12 contest against the New England Patriots to be evaluated for a concussion. According to an announcement from the team, he is officially listed as questionable to return. It's possible that he suffered the injury while returning the Patriots' kick at the start of the second half. At the time of his departure, Brooks had five rushing yards on two carries, as well as one uncaught target. On special teams, his lone return went for 20 yards. With Samaje Perine (ankle) sidelined, Gary Brightwell will take over as the No. 2 running back behind Chase Brown until Brooks can return.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine (ankle), who was listed as doubtful for Sunday's game, is officially out in Week 12 versus the visiting New England Patriots. Perine will be missing a second straight game. The 30-year-old veteran's absence will mean more change-of-pace work for rookie Tahj Brooks behind starter Chase Brown, but it won't be enough to make Brooks a standalone option in fantasy lineups this weekend in a tough matchup. It's unclear if Perine will be ready to return on a quick turnaround next week when the team squares off against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens on Thanksgiving Day on Thursday. Perine hasn't been anything more than a deep-league PPR handcuff for those who have Brown rostered. In nine games in 2025, he has 198 rushing yards and one touchdown on 32 carries, adding seven receptions for another 30 yards.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco will get one more opportunity to start after Joe Burrow (toe) was ruled out for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the New England Patriots. While Burrow was trending in the right direction for this week, the Bengals have ultimately decided to keep him on injured reserve for at least a few more days. As a result, Flacco will remain installed as Cincinnati's starting quarterback for Week 12. He's coming off an uninspiring 199-yard clunker against the Steelers, and although he has five touchdowns over his last two games, he also has four turnovers during that span. To make matters worse, he'll be without Ja'Marr Chase (suspension), shifting Tee Higgins to the top receiver role. New England's defense has been strong this season, but it's best at stopping the run. The Patriots have allowed the ninth-most passing yards, seventh-most passing touchdowns, and 12th-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. This matchup and situation are best defined as "good, not great." That sentiment is reflected in RotoBaller's ranking of Burrow as the overall QB17 this week.
