Cincinnati Bengals news, rumors and injuriesBengals | Two Bengals to miss start of camp Wed, 26 Jul 2017 17:24:26 -0700 Cincinnati Bengals RB Jarveon Williams (undisclosed) was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list Wednesday, July 26. The team also placed CB Brandon Wilson (undisclosed) on the Non-Football Injury list. Comment () | Share: Bengals | John Ross unlikely to be ready for camp Wed, 26 Jul 2017 15:29:26 -0700 Cincinnati Bengals WR John Ross (shoulder) is expected to miss a few weeks of practice because of his surgically repaired shoulder. Fantasy Tip: Ross should be ready for the start of the regular season but likely will be limited during training camp and the preseason. He may be used as a slot receiver and likely will be a deep threat for the Bengals during his rookie season. Ross could be a No. 5 receiver in fantasy leagues because of his big play ability. Comment () | Share: Bengals | Giovani Bernard likely cleared for camp Mon, 24 Jul 2017 06:53:40 -0700 Cincinnati Bengals RB Giovani Bernard (knee) is likely to be cleared for the beginning of training camp. Bernard is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Fantasy Tip: Joe Mixon has been the talk of camp, and Bernard could be used sparingly behind Mixon and Jeremy Hill. There is still some PPR luster, but the upside isn't what it once was. Look at him as an RB4 in fantasy. Comment () | Share: Bengals | Tyler Eifert expected for camp Mon, 24 Jul 2017 06:52:05 -0700 Cincinnati Bengals TE Tyler Eifert (back) is expected to be ready for training camp. Fantasy Tip: Despite a 13-touchdown performance in 2015, Eifert has struggled with the injury bug. He has played in just 22 games over the last three years. With the depth of the position on the come up, there is ample risk taking him in the midrange TE1 portion of fantasy. Monitor him throughout camp. Comment () | Share: Bengals | A.J. Green targeted heavily before injury Sat, 22 Jul 2017 09:21:48 -0700 Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green saw a 32.3-percent target share in Weeks 1 through 10 before he was lost for the season with a hamstring injury. Fantasy Tip: Much of Green's heavy involvement had to do with the prolonged absence of Tyler Eifert as well as the struggles of the running game and the departure of Marvin Jones as well as Mohamed Sanu. Owners should expect the target share to fall back down closer to the 25-percent range - more typical for elite receivers - following the return of Eifert as well as the additions of John Ross and Joe Mixon. He remains firmly in the WR1 conversation, however. Comment () | Share: Bengals | William Jackson fully healthy Fri, 21 Jul 2017 13:03:32 -0700 Cincinnati Bengals CB William Jackson III said he is completely recovered from the torn pectoral muscle he suffered last season. Comment () | Share: Bengals | Adam Jones suspended for opener Fri, 21 Jul 2017 10:14:34 -0700 Cincinnati Bengals CB Adam Jones was suspended one game by the NFL on Friday, July 21, for violating the personal conduct policy. He has the right to appeal the decision. Comment () | Share: Bengals | Cedric Ogbuehi finding comfort zone Sat, 15 Jul 2017 19:13:43 -0700 Cincinnati Bengals OT Cedric Ogbuehi said he is a more confident player this season and more comfortable with his technique. "Every day I'm getting better," Ogbuehi said. "I'm learning something every day and the game is slowing down." Comment () | Share: Bengals | Jake Elliott was coach's choice Fri, 14 Jul 2017 18:48:04 -0700 Cincinnati Bengals PK Jake Elliott was considered the top player at his position in the 2017 NFL Draft by special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons. "I spend a lot of time with each of the top guys and I feel comfortable with the guy we got," Simmons said. Comment () | Share: Bengals | Marvin Lewis has high praise for Joe Mixon Thu, 13 Jul 2017 17:58:04 -0700 Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis admitted that RB Joe Mixon is "off the charts talent-wise," just from the brief time they have spent together on the football field. "Big, fast, catch, run, see, smart -- and he's 20-year-old kid. He's as smart as a whip. You know, I mean, those things are fun. And I keep reminding everybody, he's a 20-year-old kid. Keep understanding that. Let Joe continue to grow and develop as we go." Fantasy Tip: There's no question about Mixton's talent level, as it was only off-the-field issues that pushed him into the second round of this year's draft. However, it may be hard to lean on him for consistent production in his rookie season, considering the other talented running backs on Cincinnati's roster. At the same time, Giovani Bernard may miss the first few regular season games, which could provide a valuable opportunity for the former Oklahoma star. Comment () | Share: Bengals | Joshua Malone standing out Wed, 12 Jul 2017 09:07:17 -0700 Cincinnati Bengals WR Joshua Malone is 6-3, 208 pounds and ran at 4.40 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine. His size/speed ratio was evident on the practice field during the Bengals OTAs and minicamps. "He showed us what we thought he was. He's big and he's fast and he has a good natural feel for the game. He's learning how to run our routes and do things our way like any of them are - especially new guys. But he has some real ability," receivers coach James Urban said. Comment () | Share: Bengals | Jeremy Hill to remain involved Fri, 07 Jul 2017 18:35:44 -0700 Cincinnati Bengals RB Jeremy Hill is "going to get some carries" and will remain a factor near the goal line, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. Fantasy Tip: The assumption is that Joe Mixon will eventually take control of Cincinnati's backfield, but Hill could have something to say about that. Mixon is without a doubt the better long-term option, but Hill could still be a flex play this season. Comment () | Share: Bengals | Brandon LaFell likely will make team Fri, 07 Jul 2017 13:26:24 -0700 Cincinnati Bengals WR Brandon LaFell likely will make the 53-man roster this season because it would leave at least $3 million of dead money on the salary cap if he was released, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Katherine Terrell. The Bengals also like that LaFell has a mentor-like relationship with WR A.J. Green. Fantasy Tip: LaFell should continue to be one of the starting receivers for the Bengals in 2017 but could lose some targets because of the younger receivers on the team. He posted 862 yards and six touchdowns this past season and could be a No. 4 or No. 5 fantasy receiver if he can post similar numbers. Comment () | Share: Bengals | A.J. Green focused on winning Sat, 01 Jul 2017 19:07:07 -0700 Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green said he wouldn't mind seeing fewer targets this season if it means the other receivers are contributing and the team is winning. Fantasy Tip: Even if Green does see a few less targets, his role as Andy Dalton's go-to receiver isn't changing any time soon. He is a safe bet to deliver WR1 production again in 2017. Comment () | Share: Bengals | Cody Core ready for more Fri, 30 Jun 2017 20:43:36 -0700 Cincinnati Bengals WR Cody Core is seeing the benefits from the playing time he received last year when WR A.J. Green was injured, according to head coach Marvin Lewis. "It gives him the confidence to come out and work in the offseason and know that he can achieve higher goals," Lewis said.
