Cincinnati Bengals DFS Spin
Joe Burrow (calf) was removed from the Week 4 injury report and will play against the Titans. Burrow was a full participant in practice throughout the week. Though he’s likely playing at less than full strength, things do appear to be trending in the right direction for Burrow. He remains in the QB1 mix in a great matchup versus a weak Tennessee second
Tennessee Titans DFS Spin
Treylon Burks (knee) will not play in Week 4 against the Bengals. Titans head coach Mike Vrabel told reporters Burks’ knee issue is new, meaning it is not related to the LCL sprain he suffered in training camp. The absence of Burks should free up a few more targets for De’Andre Hopkins and Chig Okonkwo in Week 4. Burks has yet to catch more than three passes or score in a game this year. Fantasy managers who need a FLEX option for Sunday can cut Burks, though his upside later in the year makes him a hold for teams that can afford the roster spot.

Bengals vs. Titans Prediction:
Take Tennessee. I know the Titans stink. I also know Burrow isn’t 100-percent. Did you see him on Monday night against the Rams? He took most of his snaps out of shotgun and barely moved on that bad calf. My fear is that he’ll start a game, only to be removed early because the calf injury is too much to handle. If that happens, Cincinnati is a sitting duck offensively. The Titans have no offense, but Derrick Henry is in line for a rebound performance after he was completely shut down by Cleveland’s defense last week. The Titans are also great at stopping the run, so Burrow will be forced to put the ball in the air a lot if he can make it through the game. Either way, I see a small upset happening today in Nashville.
Bengals vs. Titans NFL Prediction: Tennessee Titans +2.5
