  • Zay Flowers WR | BAL

    Ravens' Zay Flowers: Forgettable night in loss

    Flowers brought in two of seven targets for six yards and lost a fumble in the Ravens' 32-14 loss to the Bengals on Thursday night.

    Flowers not only finished with his lowest yardage total of the season, but his fumble at the Ravens' 43-yard line with just over four minutes remaining led to a Bengals field goal and essentially snuffed out any hopes of a comeback for Baltimore. His target count was actually his highest since Week 8, but a combination of a surprisingly effective Bengals defense and Lamar Jackson's struggles with accuracy helped lead to a highly inefficient line for Flowers. He'll aim to bounce back against an inconsistent Steelers secondary in a Week 14 home matchup on Sunday, Dec. 7.

  • Isaiah Likely TE | NYG

    Ravens' Isaiah Likely: Best game of season in loss

    Likely brought in five of six targets for 95 yards in the Ravens' 32-14 loss to the Bengals on Thursday night. He also lost a fumble.

    Likely led the Ravens in receptions and receiving yards while tying for the team lead in targets, and all three of his figures also qualified as season-high figures. However, his longest grab, a 43-yard catch and run, ended with him losing control of the ball just before the goal line, resulting in a touchback. Likely's usage hadn't eclipsed two receptions or 17 yards in any of his last three games, so the spike in his production Thursday, despite the fumble, was especially noteworthy. The fourth-year pro will aim to carry over the momentum into a Week 14 home matchup against the Steelers on Sunday, Dec. 7.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Three turnovers in ugly loss

    Jackson completed 17 of 32 passes for 246 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while adding six rushes for 27 yards in the Ravens' 32-14 loss to the Bengals on Thursday night. He also committed two fumbles, losing both.

    The combination of Jackson's final line and the game's final score underscore the fact he wasn't able to offset his multiple mistakes with enough big plays. The two-time MVP saw more than half his completions (nine) and 142 of his passing yards go to the tight-end duo of Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews, and two of his three turnovers led to a combined six points for Cincinnati. Jackson's passing yardage was his highest since Week 3, but he was clearly outplayed by Joe Burrow in the latter's return from a nine-game absence. The Ravens next face another divisional test at home, as the Steelers pay a visit for a Week 14 clash on Sunday, Dec. 7.

  • Chase Brown RB | CIN

    Bengals' Chase Brown: Contributes 113 total yards in win

    Brown rushed 15 times for 78 yards and brought in all seven targets for 35 yards in the Bengals' 32-14 win over the Ravens on Thursday night.

    Chase had to claw for most of his yardage Thursday, as his longest run went for a modest 18 yards while his most productive reception netted just nine yards. However, the third-year back still managed a highly fantasy-friendly effort despite the return of backfield mate Samaje Perine from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury. Brown tied Ja'Marr Chase for the team led in receptions while eclipsing the 70-yard mark on the ground for fifth time in the last six contests, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 14 road matchup on Sunday, Dec. 7 against a Bills defense that has struggled to slow down the run all season.

  • Derrick Henry RB | BAL

    Ravens' Derrick Henry: Records 104 scrimmage yards in loss

    Henry rushed 10 times for 60 yards and a touchdown while bringing in his only target for 44 yards in the Ravens' 32-14 loss to the Bengals on Thursday night.

    Henry appeared well on his way to a stellar night when he rumbled for a 28-yard touchdown with 6:33 remaining in the first quarter, a run that turned out to be his longest of the night. However, game script would progressively turn against the Ravens' ground attack in the second half as the Bengals expanded their lead, leading to Henry's opportunities being significantly capped. The talented back's best play of the night actually came on his one catch, on which he carved out his longest gain of the season through the air. Henry has hit or eclipsed the 60-yard mark on the ground in eight consecutive games heading into a Week 14 home divisional clash against the Steelers on Sunday, Dec. 7.

  • Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN

    Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Tops 100 yards on Turkey Day

    Chase brought in seven of 14 targets for 110 yards in the Bengals' 32-14 win over the Ravens on Thursday night.

    Chase co-led the Bengals in receptions while easily setting the pace in receiving yards and targets on a night when Joe Burrow returned from a nine-game absence. The elite wideout was operating without Tee Higgins (concussion), and Chase finished with his fourth-highest target tally of the campaign while eclipsing the 100-yard mark for the fifth time on the season. Higgins will likely be back for a Week 14 road showdown against the Bills on Sunday, Dec. 7, but Chase should naturally remain Burrow's clear No. 1 target in a contest that could feature plenty of passing.

  • Joe Burrow QB | CIN

    Bengals' Joe Burrow: Leads upset in return

    Burrow completed 24 of 46 passes for 261 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing three times for eight yards in the Bengals' 32-14 win over the Ravens on Thursday night.

    Making his return from a nine-game absence, Burrow shook off rust as the game went on and put together a strong fantasy performance overall highlighted by 14- and 29-yard touchdown passes to Tanner Hudson and Andrei Iosivas, respectively. Burrow spread the ball around to nine different pass catchers overall, with Ja'Marr Chase unsurprisingly garnering the majority of his attention in the form of 14 targets in the absence of Tee Higgins (concussion). Burrow helped lead the Bengals to 20 second-half points and also benefited from a standout performance by his team's oft-maligned defense, infusing some badly needed momentum ahead of a Week 14 road showdown against Josh Allen and the Bills on Sunday, Dec. 7.

  • Josh Simmons OT | KC

    Chiefs' Josh Simmons: Out indefinitely with wrist injury

    Simmons suffered a dislocated and fractured wrist during the Chiefs' 31-28 loss to the Cowboys and is out indefinitely, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    The Chiefs were already without starting right guard Trey Smith (ankle) for Thursday's game, and Kansas City lost two more starting offensive linemen in Simmons and Jawaan Taylor (elbow) during the game. Simmons will undergo an MRI on Friday and seek opinions on treatment options, but the rookie first-rounder is in jeopardy of being sidelined for the rest of the 2025 season. Wanya Morris and Jaylon Moore are the top candidates to start at left tackle during Simmons' extended absence.

  • Brian Asamoah LB | CIN

    Bengals' Brian Asamoah: Won't return due to knee injury

    Asamoah (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the Ravens.

    Asamoah injured his left knee during the first half of Thursday's game, and it is severe enough for the fourth-year linebacker to be sidelined for the rest of the contest. His absence won't impact the Bengals' defense, as he has played solely on special teams this season.

  • Nate Wiggins CB | BAL

    Ravens' Nate Wiggins: Won't return vs. Cincinnati

    Wiggins (foot) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the Bengals.

    Wiggins went to the locker room late in the second quarter due to a foot injury, which has been deemed severe enough by medical staff for the second-year corner to not return to Thursday's game. T.J. Tampa will take on a larger role at outside corner opposite Chidobe Awuzie the rest of the way.
