Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins enters the 2025 campaign with high expectations. For the past two offseasons, Higgins has been franchise tagged but was finally able to agree to a four-year $115 million contract with the team earlier in March. With his future now secure, Higgins can enter the regular season with a focused mindset. Jeremy Fowler of ESPN noted that the former 33rd overall pick said that "plan" is to catch 100 passes in the upcoming season. He also expressed how the Bengals are exploring other ways to get Higgins on the field, especially in the slot. Throughout his career, he has typically been deployed as a deep threat, but a move to the slot could provide him more opportunities to see targets. Despite only playing in 12 games last season, Higgins tallied 911 yards and found the back of the end zone 10 times. While he will continue to play as the No. 2 opposite of Ja'Marr Chase, given his nose for the end zone, Higgins should be viewed as a WR2 with upside in all fantasy formats this season.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton (undisclosed) missed practice on Sunday with an undisclosed injury and is considered day-to-day, according to ESPN's Ben Baby. He was a full participant in the team's practice on Saturday, so it's not clear when exactly this injury occurred. A third-round pick in 2024, Burton recorded just four catches in 14 games as a rookie. With Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins earning the lion's share of the wide receiver targets in Cincinnati and Andrei Iosivas entrenched as a solid WR3, it will be difficult for Burton to factor in fantasy without at least one injury to a player ahead of him on the depth chart.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Tahj Brooks ran for 26 yards off 10 attempts in Thursday's preseason loss to the Eagles. He added one catch (two targets) for three yards. Chase Brown began the contest with the rest of the starters. While Brooks handled the bulk of the touches, he only averaged 2.6 yards per carry. Despite the subpar showing on Thursday night, the 2025 No. 193 overall pick has looked good throughout training camp and appears to have earned the trust of the coaching staff. However, with Brown expected to get the majority of the snaps out of the backfield in 2025, there could be little room for Brooks to remain consistently involved, even if the rookie manages to secure the No. 2 spot on the depth chart over Samaje Perine. With the Bengals dropping their first game of the preseason, the team will look to get on track versus the Commanders on August 18.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tanner Hudson played well in Thursday's preseason loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 30-year-old caught six of eight targets for 62 yards. He also scored twice, finding the end zone off a 12-yard pass from Joe Burrow on the opening drive before capping off his night with another touchdown in the fourth quarter. After making stops in Tampa Bay and New York (Giants) to begin his career, he appeared in 23 regular-season contests for the Bengals in the last two years. While Hudson had a few productive showings during that span, he has never been a consistent fantasy contributor. That's not expected to change in 2025 even if he continues to produce in the team's final two preseason games, considering Cincinnati has Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, and Noah Fant on the roster. With a loss in the books, the Bengals will look to get on track versus the Washington Commanders on August 18.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase caught all four of his targets for 77 yards in Thursday's preseason loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He also scored a touchdown, finding the end zone off a 36-yard pass from quarterback Joe Burrow near the end of the first quarter. The 2021 No. 5 overall pick is coming off a monster year, finishing the 2024 campaign by amassing 127 catches for 1,708 yards and 17 touchdowns, all the highest marks of his career. As a result, many consider Chase to be the top fantasy option heading into Week 1. Of course, the 25-year-old has an excellent chance of remaining an elite fantasy performer, but he'll need to stay healthy. Burrow will also need to remain on the field, considering the signal-caller has battled plenty of injuries throughout his career. With a preseason loss in the books, the Bengals will look to get on track versus the Washington Commanders on August 18.
