Cincinnati Bengals DFS Spin
Tee Higgins (ankle) is questionable for Week 5 against the Ravens. Higgins got in three limited practices but couldn’t escape the questionable tag. Zac Taylor said that he’d limit Higgins so that he felt good enough to play on Sunday earlier today, so Higgins is likely on the optimistic side of questionable heading into Sunday Night Football. We would expect optimistic reports on him playing from the Saturday Night/Sunday Morning crew.
Baltimore Ravens DFS Spin
Ravens CB Marcus Peters (quad) is questionable for Week 5 against the Bengals. A surprise Thursday limited tag became a Friday DNP for Peters, who was added to the injury report mid-week with the quadriceps. The Friday DNP leads us to believe this is more on the doubtful side of questionable. It’d be a huge loss for the Ravens on Sunday as they try to deal with Tee Higgins (ankle, questionable) and Ja’Marr Chase.
