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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Conner finished Thursday's 31-28 loss to Dallas with nine tackles (seven solo), including one tackle for a loss.

The third-year safety was all over the field during Thursday's loss and finished second in tackles behind Nick Bolton (11). Conner has tallied at least nine stops in five of 12 regular-season games, and the 2023 fourth-rounder is up to 87 tackles (52 solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass defense and two forced fumbles on the year.

Watson tallied six solo tackles and an interception during the Chiefs' loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.

Watson had a strong performance despite the loss, as he managed to force the team's lone turnover. The 27-year-old has now compiled 51 tackles (34 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two interceptions across 12 games played.

Clowney recorded six tackles (five solo), including 2.0 sacks, during Dallas' win over the Chiefs on Thursday.

Clowney had a dominant outing in the victory, setting new season-high totals in both tackles and sacks. The 2014 first-round pick has racked up 4.0 sacks on the season and will look to add to his totals during the Week 14 matchup versus Detroit.

Bolton posted 11 tackles (six solo) and two pass defenses during the Chiefs' 31-28 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.

It was another productive game for Bolton, who led both teams in tackles while logging double-digit stops for the fourth time this season. The fifth-year linebacker has officially cracked the century mark with 100 tackles (48 solo) through 12 regular-season games, and he needs just six more stops to tie his mark from the 2024 campaign (across 16 regular-season contests).

Butker made all four of his extra-point attempts during Kansas City's loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.

Butker didn't attempt any field goals for just the third time this season. The 30-year-old has been inconsistent so far this season, converting just 87.5 percent of his field-goal attempts and extra-point tries apiece.
