Bengals TE C.J. Uzomah (MCL sprain) told reporters Monday that he feels "really, really good" ahead of Super Bowl LVI. Uzomah also credited Nick Cosgray and his work on his Achilles injury last season in his trust with playing Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

While it is great to hear Uzomah's optimism, the trainers and HC Zac Taylor have final say on his availability. Uzomah's injury is one of the most important to monitor on the offensive side of the ball.

Bengals TE C.J. Uzomah joining group of star players

There’s one player who will be added to that group of Bengal players who are stealing the show on offense and its tight end C.J. Uzomah.

The Bengals drafted Uzomah in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft. Uzomah and Tyler Boyd are two of the oldest players on Cincinnati’s roster and both have now played for former head coach Marvin Lewis and current head coach Zac Taylor.

Fantasy Impact:

The story went on to say for those who are surprised at Uzomah’s production, his quarterback is not. When Joe Burrow was asked what’s behind his connection with Uzomah this year, he said it started in his rookie season but because of his knee injury no one saw what they could do together. The story added Burrow said Uzomah was his top target before going down with a knee injury. For fantasy going forward, Uzomah likely won't produce many lines like he did this past week against the Ravens: 3-91-1. He's averaging less than three targets a game and looks to be more TD-dependent than anything at this point.

Bengals TE C.J. Uzomah's rehab going well

C. J. Uzomah’s rehabilitation from a torn Achilles is going well.

The Cincinnati Bengals tight end updated The Enquirer on his rehab process.

“It’s good, it’s really good. After talking to trainers and people, I’m ahead of schedule,” Uzomah told The Enquirer. “It’s really good. They like the progress with it. I’m walking and doing everything that they are saying. It’s going really well.”

Fantasy Impact:

Uzomah is expected to be cleared for full activity in March. The story went on to say Uzomah suffered a season-ending torn Achilles in the team’s Week 2 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Cincinnati placed him on injured reserve on Sept. 18. Prior to his injury, Uzomah was off to the best two-game start of his career. The 6-foot-6 tight end had eight catches for 87 yards and one touchdown in two contests this year. The touchdown ball that he caught versus Cleveland was the first TD pass of quarterback Joe Burrow’s career.

C.J. Uzomah (Achilles) out for season

Bengals TE C.J. Uzomah is out for the season with a torn Achilles tendon, according to Tom Withers of the Associated Press.

Fantasy Impact:

Uzomah was being utilized by rookie QB Joe Burrow and had caught a TD prior to being hurt in Thursday's loss to the Cleveland Browns. Uzomah had top 15 tight end upside with the departure of Tyler Eifert. Drew Sample will more than likely be the lead pass-catching tight end for the Bengals going forward.
