Noah Fant, Noah Fant Questionable to Return in Week 15 with Ankle Injury

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant (ankle) is questionable to return to his team's Week 15 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens with an ankle injury. The 28-year-old did not record a target or reception before exiting the game. Fant entered Week 15 with 33 receptions for 283 yards and three touchdowns on 39 targets across 12 games this season. If he is unable to return in Week 15, Bengals tight ends Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, and Tanner Hudson could all see increased playing time. Gesicki has worked as the team's lead receiving tight end in recent weeks, earning 16 targets over his last three games heading into Week 15.

Chase Brown, Chase Brown Continues to Ascend as Must-Start Option

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown wasn't as efficient as a runner in Week 14's loss to the Buffalo Bills, but he made up for it with the fourth multi-touchdown game of his career. Brown has been on a heater over the past few weeks after a slow start to the season. Since Week 8, the 25-year-old running back has totaled 87 carries for 417 yards and two touchdowns while adding 29 receptions (40 targets) for 205 yards and two more touchdowns as a receiver, ranking as the RB6 with 19.2 PPR points per game over that time. Brown has been a high-variance running back this season, posting five games with at least five yards per carry and four games with less than three yards per carry in games where he recorded at least 10 rush attempts. He remains a high-end option in the Bengals' potent offense for Week 15 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Mike Gesicki, Mike Gesicki on the Streaming Radar Against Ravens

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki is coming off his best game of the 2025 campaign, catching all six targets for 86 yards. He also found the end zone for the first time this season. Naturally, his stock is much higher after that performance. It increased even more once Tee Higgins (concussion) was ruled out. That means extra targets will be up for grabs in the Week 15 rematch with the Ravens. While Ja'Marr Chase and Chase Brown are the favorites to see the most attention from Joe Burrow, that's not to say Gesicki won't be more involved (and productive) than usual. As a result, the veteran can be utilized for streaming purposes in any fantasy format on Sunday versus Baltimore in a contest that is projected to feature plenty of offense from both sides.

Samaje Perine, Samaje Perine Not a Safe Fantasy Option Against Baltimore

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine had 14 attempts in the Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He also logged a season-high 33 offensive snaps. As a result, many assumed the 30-year-old would continue to have more of a role in the recent loss to the Buffalo Bills. However, that didn't happen, with Perine ending the day with 31 yards off six carries. All things considered, Perine should remain in the mix in the Week 15 rematch with Baltimore, although he'll likely receive the residual touches left over by Chase Brown. That's not to say he can't or won't find the end zone, but the odds aren't in his favor.

Evan McPherson, Evan McPherson Should be More Involved in Week 15

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson had a career-high six field goals in the Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens. However, his services weren't needed much in the recent loss to the Buffalo Bills, ending the day without an attempt. With that said, McPherson has been a top-10 fantasy kicker this season. While it's illogical to assume the 26-year-old will have another career showing, he's still a must-start in the rematch versus Baltimore in Week 15 in a game that should feature plenty of scoring from both sides.
