## Bengals wide receivers uncertain
Cincinnati Bengals could be without both star wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins in Week 5.
## Chase in concussion protocol
Chase is in NFL concussion protocol after Week 4 injury, with two practices this week but unclear if he'll play Sunday.
## Higgins adductor injury
Higgins deals with adductor injury after limited practice, trending as game-time decision for Week 5.
## Chase fantasy impact
If Chase plays, he's a locked-in elite WR1; if not, fantasy owners should not start him.
## Higgins fantasy impact
Higgins could be high-risk WR2 if active, with elite upside if he plays and Chase is inactive.
## Meyers as backup
Dohnte Meyers, catching seven of nine targets last week, is favorite to step up if top receivers are out.
## Young as curveball
Rookie Colbie Young returning to practice could disrupt Meyers' fantasy status as backup receiver.
## Gesicki streaming option
Mike Gesicki could get significant boost if either receiver misses game, with Dolphins struggling against tight ends.
## Key takeaway

Cincinnati Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins injuries could leave fantasy owners with sleeper opportunities in Week 5.
