Fantasy Impact: Moss suffered what appeared to be an ankle injury in Week 5, but it is officially being listed as a foot issue. He wasn't able to practice on Friday because of it, and it may jeopardize his availability for Week 6. Chase Brown will get more work if the veteran is unable to play against the Giants.

Fantasy Impact: Gesicki is a new addition to the injury report, being listed with a hamstring injury that left him sidelined at practice on Wednesday. It remains to be seen what his recovery timetable will look like, and if he has to miss any real time, fantasy managers should expect rookie Erick All Jr. to see an increased workload in his absence.

The Bengals' D/ST logged one sack and one fumble recovery while allowing 41 points in Sunday's overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Fantasy Impact: Cincinnati's defense was getting diced up on Sunday. They allowed the Ravens to score 41 points over the course of the game, and the Bengals ended up losing despite putting up 38 points on offense. This is not a good unit, but they do have favorable matchups against the Giants and Browns coming up in the next couple of weeks.

Evan McPherson missed his only field goal attempt and converted on all four of his extra point attempts in Sunday's 41-38 OT loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Fantasy Impact: McPherson didn't have a great game on Sunday. He totaled just four points on the day, and he actually missed the kick that would've won the Bengals the game in overtime. The holder may be to blame for that play, but either way, it wasn't a great showing for the young kicker.

Erick All Jr. caught two passes for just ten yards in Sunday's 41-38 overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Fantasy Impact: The rookie looked like he was becoming a solid contributor on Cincinnati's offense over the past few weeks, but it didn't really look like that on Sunday. He caught just two passes in a loss to the Ravens, and the team didn't make much of an effort to draw things up for him. He has potential, but it's clear that he's just not going to see ample opportunities for the foreseeable future.

Andrei Iosivas caught one pass for 39 yards in Sunday's 41-38 OT loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Fantasy Impact: Iosivas didn't see much involvement on Sunday. He was targeted just twice on the day, and he was able to bring in one of those for a 39-yard gain. When Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are both fully healthy and in the lineup for the Bengals, fantasy managers shouldn't expect Iosivas to have much value for fantasy purposes.

Chase Brown rushed the ball 12 times for 46 yards and caught three passes for eight yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-38 OT loss to the Ravens.
Fantasy Impact: Brown was a bit inefficient on his 15 touches, but he was able to make up for that by finding the end zone on one of his receptions. He has been emerging as more of a featured player on Cincinnati's offense over the past couple of weeks, and if that keeps up, he will be well worth rostering in most fantasy leagues. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on the splits between him and Zack Moss (ankle) over the next few weeks.

Tee Higgins caught nine passes for 83 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-38 OT loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Fantasy Impact: Higgins finally had one of his signature explosive games on Sunday. He hauled in nine of his 14 targets and was able to get in the end zone twice over the course of the day. He was ultimately outshined by Ja'Marr Chase, but it's good to see Cincinnati's offense clicking like this for the first time of the season so far.

Ja'Marr Chase caught 10-of-12 targets for 193 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-38 overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Fantasy Impact: Chase had by far his best game of the season on Sunday. He led the team with ten receptions for a staggering 193 yards over the course of the day, and he was also able to get into the end zone on two separate ocassions. He has been playing very well lately and appears to be squarely in the competition for overall WR1 for fantasy purposes.

Joe Burrow completed 30-of-39 passing attempts for 392 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception in Sunday's 41-38 overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Fantasy Impact: Burrow was dominant on Sunday. He threw five touchdowns over the course of the game, but that still wasn't enough to pick up a win over the Ravens. It finally looked like he was on the same page as both Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, which was great to see after a subpar first four weeks to start the season. If Burrow can keep playing close to this level, Cincinnati's skill-position players will flourish for fantasy purposes.

Bengals TE Tanner Hudson is officially inactive for a Week 4 matchup with the Panthers.
Fantasy Impact: Hudson has been dealing with a knee injury and was listed as questionable for Week 4. Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, and Erick All should continue to see playing time in his absence.
