Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert had a bittersweet day against the Falcons. Eifert caught four passes for 38 yards and a touchdown, his first score since the 2016 season. Unfortunately, he suffered what appeared to be a gruesome ankle injury during the game. The Bengals went on to beat Atlanta 37-36.

Fantasy Impact:

Eifert's season is almost certainly over as it is speculated he either broke his ankle or his leg. It is a sad turn of events for a player who has had some of the worst injury luck in the league. Tyler Kroft will step in as the Bengals' starting tight end with C.J. Uzomah also seeing an uptick in targets.
