Panthers' CB CJ Henderson doubtful to play Sunday for the second straight game with a concussion. TE Hayden Hurst (concussion) has been ruled out. CB Jaycee Horn (hamstring) is doubtful for the Titans.

Related Players: Tommy Tremble, Stephen Sullivan

Tremble will move into the de facto TE1 role for the Panthers, but that certainly hasn't been a profitable title. He doesn't need to be in fantasy consideration.

Panthers’ TE Hayden Hurst is in concussion protocol, making his status for Sunday’s game vs. the Cowboys uncertain.

Hurst shouldn't be on any fantasy rosters, and if he misses, backup Tommy Tremble shouldn't be either.

The Panthers are expected to sign former first-round pick Hayden Hurst to a three-year deal.

Related Players: Ian Thomas, Tommy Tremble

Hurst had a one-year "prove it" deal in Cincinnati and delivered, accruing 400+ yards on 50+ catches through 13 games. Carolina will be his fourth home in five seasons, but he provides an offensive crutch for the Pathers' future rookie.

The Bengals ruled out Hayden Hurst for Saturday’s game at New England due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Mitchell Wilcox

Things were trending well through the week, but clearly, the team doesn't want to risk anything to one of their offensive weapons, particularly after last night's Jets loss locked them into the playoffs. Mitchell Wilcox can operate as a high-end TE2 for TE desperate teams.

The Bengals are going through their final walkthrough before heading to New England tonight. Looks like everyone is here except Sam Hubbard. Jay Tufele is back after missing due to illness yesterday. Hayden Hurst is wearing a jersey so that’s another encouraging sign.

If Hurst is good to go, he should be considered a fringe TE1/2. Whoever gets the nod this week is going to have a positive matchup in New England against a defense that ranks top-10 in schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed to every offensive position except tight end, where they rank 24th.

Bengals RB Joe Mixon (concussion) and WR Tee Higgins (hamstring) are off the injury report and good to go Sunday against the Browns. TE Hayden Hurst (calf) is out.

Related Players: Samaje Perine

The RB1 Samaje Perine weeks are over for now, but Cincinnati is faced with a fantastic matchup against Cleveland this week. Both he and Mixon are fantasy viable in Week 14.

Bengals RB Joe Mixon (concussion) and WR Tee Higgins (hamstring) are off the injury report and good to go Sunday against the Browns. TE Hayden Hurst (calf) is out.

Related Players: Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd

Higgins can safely be fired up as a WR2 option while Ja'Marr Chase remains a fantasy WR1 regardless of the health of his teammates. Tyler Boyd can be plugged in as a Flex option, though his floor is closer to a fantasy WR4.

Per Hobson, Zac (Taylor) says Joe Mixon has chance to clear concussion protocol and says Hayden Hurst (calf) is doubtful this week.

Related Players: Mitchell Wilcox, Devin Asiasi

Just what the tight end position in fantasy needs is one less viable option, but here we are. Hurst has been having a marginal fantasy season on a whole, but was the TE13 on the season heading into Week 13. Mitchell Wilcox was the only other tight to earn a target last week, but Devin Asiasi was selected by the Patriots in the third round of the 2020 draft as an athletic passing game weapon. He would be the choice for deep, TE Premium leagues.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins is suited up for today’s walkthrough. Hasn’t practiced all week with an ankle injury.

Related Players: Tyler Boyd, Hayden Hurst

Higgins has the same ceiling of any on the Bengals, including Ja'Marr Chase, and demands usage when on the field. That doesn't always affect Chase but is a huge blow to Boyd and Hurst's fantasy viability. If Tee is a go for Sunday, he will operate as a WR2 with WR1 upside.
