Bengals cling to Browning amid an 11-turnover skid, with three interceptions in the Detroit loss and a 0-3 mark in starts this season. Cincinnati eyes a test vs. Green Bay while coach Zac Taylor previews personnel tweaks but backs Browning’s ability to win games.

Chase and Higgins supplied late TDs to gloss the score, but the offense remains a risk in fantasy. ESPN’s playoff odds sit under 10% as Cincinnati tries to reset, protect the ball, and find a clearer path in a challenging schedule.

Herbert and Daniels spark an early showdown as both QBs click in the pocket and on the run, setting up a high-stakes second half. Ladd McConkey breaks a 57-yard punt return for a score that’s wiped out by a running into the kicker penalty, leaving the Chargers with momentum but still chaseable. Luke McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel connect to drive Washington to the edge of the red zone, while Johnston’s big role remains muted by a shifting Chargers defense.

Red-zone efficiency and injury news shape the day: Slater is done for the season, Alt out this week, and Derius Davis sidelined again, nudging the Chargers to lean on Herbert’s improvisation. Daniels battles through a knee brace as Washington trades punches, hoping Croskey-Merritt can punch in a game-changing score. The rookie Omarion Hampton provides a spark for LA, as the game tightens into a critical Week 5 tilt.

Detroit travels to Cincinnati as a solid favorite, but injuries test the Lions’ secondary. D.J. Reed is out, Terrion Arnold banged up, and Kerby Joseph nursing a knee, meaning Amik Robertson may face Ja’Marr Chase more than expected. Jake Browning taking the helm for Cincinnati heightens the Lions’ pass-rush potential, while Jared Goff should find ample targets behind an efficient start to the season. Jameson Williams could unlock the Lions’ big-play potential, with Amon-Ra St. Brown and the backfield keeping drives alive. BetMGM pegs Detroit around 10.5 points.

In fantasy terms, chase Chase’s shadow and Browning’s limitations could lift Lions’ defenders, but Goff’s efficiency and Williams’ explosive upside give Detroit several viable fantasy week outcomes. If Detroit protects the ball and keeps Chase honest, this matchup could tilt heavily in the Lions’ favor late, with Lions receivers producing steady floor and ceiling in a high-stakes Week 5 edge.
