Cincinnati keeps producing
The Cincinnati Bengals beat the Atlanta Falcons 34-17 in Week 9 at Santiago Bernabéu, improving to 6-2 in the 2026 season. Cincinnati has scored 240 points and allowed 175, building a +65 point differential through eight games. The offense has cleared 30 points in each of its four listed recent results. Before beating Atlanta, the Bengals defeated Tennessee 43-36 in Week 8, Baltimore 35-13 in Week 7 and Miami 31-24 in Week 5. Those wins show Cincinnati can prevail in higher-scoring games while also creating separation: the victories over Baltimore and Atlanta came by 22 and 17 points.
Chase leads the latest fantasy returns
Ja'Marr Chase paced Cincinnati with 31.5 PPR points in Week 9, followed by Joe Burrow at 29.5 and Tee Higgins at 20.2. Evan McPherson added 13.0, while Chase Brown finished with 10.5. Burrow leads the Bengals' season fantasy totals with 199.1 PPR points. Higgins and Chase are almost level behind him: Higgins has 159.8 points, just 0.1 ahead of Chase's 159.7. Their season production gives Cincinnati two closely matched receiving options for fantasy managers, even after Chase delivered the larger Week 9 return. Brown has 101.4 PPR points for the season, and tight end Mike Gesicki has 80.2.
