## Bengals injury concerns
Cincinnati Bengals face injury worries after Week 7 win over Ravens with notable fantasy football performances.
## Chase's ankle soreness
Star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, who eclipsed 17.0 points in PPR for fourth time in five games, deals with ankle soreness entering Week 8.
## Chase's Week 8 status
Chase's ankle issue is not considered a major deal, and he is expected to suit up this weekend despite a questionable tag.

Chase hauled in five of seven targets during Week 8 blowout victory, racking up 62 yards with a touchdown, his fifth in last four games.
## Chase's PPR ranking
Chase enters Sunday's game ranked WR16 in PPR leagues, carving out reliable 16.2 points per week despite quiet performances and early bye week.
## Titans' weak defense
Tennessee Titans defense ranks 24th in NFL against pass and 26th against run, likely to improve after Jeffery Simmons trade to Chicago Bears.

Tee Higgins leads Bengals' offense in targets, catches, receiving yards, and yards-per-catch with 571 yards and two touchdowns over 50 targets.
## Higgins' Week 8 potential
Chase's ankle injury could lead to greater target share for Higgins, potentially creating additional red zone targets for the star receiver.
