Fantasy Impact
While Eifert's season is certainly over, it's fair to question if his career may also be done given the severity of the broken ankle he suffered Week 4. Without Eifert, the Bengals are expected to turn to C.J. Uzoma as their primary TE, though Tyler Kroft proved useful as a TD-dependent TE in 2017.
