Bengals lean defense in a night of limited plays. Cam Taylor-Britt benched early; DJ Turner logged 81 defensive snaps while Dax Hill and Josh Newton supported the secondary. Logan Wilson anchored the linebacker group behind rookie Barrett Carter. Mike Pennel fit the 22-snaps-per-game target, with B.J. Hill, T.J. Slaton and Kris Jenkins rotating up front. Offense produced just 48 plays as Browning ran the show, while Chase, Higgins and Iosivas carried the pass workload and Chase Brown logged 35 touches.

Week 2 of Madden NFL 26 ratings drops a fresh wave of shifts across the NFL. Bijan Robinson jumps to 94 OVR as a major winner; Roquan Smith climbs to 95 after leading movers; several stars slip (McCaffrey to 93, Kelce to 92) while new high-water marks emerge for Erik McCoy (90) and Garett Bolles (91). Robbie Ouzts’ +7 leads Seattle’s gains, tying the Seahawks and Falcons for the week’s total point uptick. Washington’s dip lingers minus-12. Full list follows.

Injuries shape Bengals-Vikings as Week 3 approaches. Cam Taylor-Britt is doubtful with a hamstring, pushing Cincinnati to lean on DJ Turner II and Josh Newton—with Dax Hill possibly sliding outside. Cincinnati also has Shemar Stewart out. Minnesota lists J.J. McCarthy out; Aaron Jones placed on IR, plus several o-line and defensive pieces in flux. Christian Darrisaw is questionable; Harrison Smith, Austin Keys, and Andrew Van Ginkel are questionable. Jefferson looms as a focal point; fantasy managers should watch how depth charts shift.

Sunday in Minnesota: Bengals contend with a mounting injury toll in the secondary as Cam Taylor-Britt is doubtful and DJ Turner II is questionable after a bigger Friday workload, while Shemar Stewart will miss the weekend with an ankle injury. Joe Burrow’s toe lingers from Week 2, but Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins remain Cincinnati’s brightest offensive weapons and anchors as the team pursues a road win with a foundation of complementary football.
