Fantasy Impact
While the Bengals stated his absences have been due to a 'minor injury', many have begun to wonder if the RB was holding out for a new contract. The 24-year-old RB is entering the final year of his rookie contract and has been quite productive despite the the team's underwhelming play over the last couple of seasons. With contract talks ongoing, fantasy owners can now hope his migraines subside and he can return to the practice field.
