Bengals WR Tee Higgins went off for 6 catches, 92 yards, and 2 TDs in Sunday’s close loss at Buffalo. Higgins was returning from a one-game absence (concussion).

Bengals QB Joe Burrow returned from his turf toe injury in his first action since Week 2. The first half showed some rust with Burrow missing a few TD passes and the Bengals settling for 4 FGs. But he bounced back for a strong second half. Burrow’s final stat line was 24/46 with 261 yards and 2 TDs.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion) won't play against the Ravens on Thursday night, HC Zac Taylor said Monday. Higgins suffered a scary looking concussion in the Week 12 loss to the Patriots and was never going to clear protocol on the short week. Cincinnati gets WR Ja'Marr Chase back this week, and he should dominate targets against Baltimore. But Higgins' absence puts WR Andrei Iosivas and TE Mike Gesicki in play as low-end fantasy options.

The NFL has suspended Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase one game for spitting on Steelers DB Jalen Ramsey in Sunday's game. We'll see whether Chase appeals, but video caught him committing the act. So it's tough to envision this one getting overturned.

Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase went 3-30-0 on 10 targets against the Steelers on Sunday. Just three weeks ago, he went 16-161-1 on 23 targets against this same Steelers defense. QB Joe Flacco struggled throwing for 199 yards with a TD and INT in the game. The Bengals offense was only able to muster 12 points.

Winds are forecasted at 15-20 mph with gusts around 30-35 mph for today's Bengals-Steelers game. That figures to impact some long passes and kicks, although it's worth noting that the over/under on this game has held steady at 48.5. We're not adjusting projections in this one but might shy away from Ks Chris Boswell and Evan McPherson.
