Pittman DNP again.

Related Players: Josh Downs, Alec Pierce, Adonai Mitchell

Things aren't trending well for Michael Pittman Jr. to see the field in Week 10, but we'll have to watch for Friday practice reports to confirm. Josh Downs is the only reliable pass-catcher in Indianapolis as it stands, and should be in strong lineup consideration regardless of Pittman's status.

Khalil Herbert will make his Bengals debut on Thursday night against the Ravens, league sources confirmed.

How big of a role could Herbert play? He'll be a compliment to Chase Brown on offense. He could see a few carries and also has experience as a kick returner. Look for him to have a role on special teams too.

So it sounds like Herbert will work in as a short-yardage back, leaving a majority of the workload to Brown in Game 1. Herbert doesn't need to be started in Week 10 but odds are good that he'll be in fantasy consideration moving forward. Brown should be locked into lineups in this divisional rivalry.

Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (quad) still isn’t practicing, putting his availability for Thursday Night Football in doubt.

Related players: Ja'Marr Chase, Andrei Iosivas, Jermaine Burton, Trenton Irwin, Mike Gesicki

Higgins missed practice all of last week and did not play in Sunday’s win over the Raiders, the story pointed out. With Higgins out and Burton also out last week, Chase, Iosivas and Irwin were the top WRs, but Gesicki had a big game from the TE position and could be a top target again. The Bengals play on Thursday night at the Ravens.

Tight end Erick All and running back Zack Moss have been placed on injured reserve. All will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL and Moss is expected to miss extended time with a neck injury.

With Moss out, the Bengals made a move for Herbert who should take over as the team's RB2 behind Brown and give the team some depth with Williams.

Running back Khalil Herbert is on to Cincinnati.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Bengals have agreed to a trade with the Bears that will add Herbert to their backfield for the rest of the season. A 2025 seventh-round pick will go back to the Bears as compensation.

Moss is dealing with a neck injury and there is no timetable for his return, we reported on Monday. So the Bengals needed help at the position. Herbert should slide in as the team's RB2 behind Brown, who is the clear RB1. Meanwhile in Chicago, Johnson becomes an interesting fantasy addition as the team's clear RB2 behind Swift. Swift started slow this season, but has come on as of late, however, Johnson could see his value climb and is probably worth adding off the wire if you have the room.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters after the game that Jameis Winston remains the team’s starter.

Related players: Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Bailey Zappe

Winston finished the game 26-of-46 for 235 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions. He was also sacked six times. All three of Winston’s interceptions came in Chargers territory, the story pointed out. The Browns have DTR and Zappe waiting in the wings, but neither would bring the upside Winston brings to the offense. Unfortunately with Winston, fantasy owners will get the downside too, much like in Week 9.

Tee Higgins and Orlando Brown Jr. will be listed as doubtufl on the Bengals injury report vs. the Raiders.

If Higgins misses more time, expect Chase's target share to skyrocket, while Iosivas would once again be an interesting deep-league Flex play option, while Gesicki returns to TE streamer range. It's worth mentioning that rookie Jermaine Burton has been seeing more of the field, with Joe Burrow commenting on his performance throughout the week.

The Jets are placing WR Allen Lazard on Injured Reserve because of a chest injury, sources say. Aaron Rodgers’ good friend and trusted target is out at least four games.

Related Players: Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams, Mike Williams, Malachi Corley

The long-awaited Mike Williams trade feels very unlikely to happen now, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's a fantasy target, either. Lazard is an easy drop anywhere he's dangling on the roster bubble, and we should see some heightened red-zone usage out of Wilson, Adams, and Tyler Conklin moving forward.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (quad) not practicing for the second day but is here for rehab work.

If Higgins misses more time, expect Chase's target share to skyrocket, while Iosivas would once again be an interesting deep-league Flex play option, while Gesicki returns to TE streamer range.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins is listed as questionable for Sunday with a quad injury.
Higgins was limited in practice today and his status will be monitored through the weekend.
Left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. (knee) and safety Geno Stone (shin) both went full today and do not have a game status.

If Higgins misses more time, expect Chase's target share to skyrocket, while Iosivas would once again be an interesting Flex play option.
