	YEAR-TO-DATE STATS
	G	CMP %	PYDS	PTDS	INT	RTDS
	1	75.0	11	0	0	0

Fantasy Analysis
None of these players ever does enough statistically to matter in Fantasy. Leave them all on waivers for Week 13 against the Ravens.

	G	FGM	FGA	FG %	LNG	XP %
	9	14	16	87.5	45	100.0

Fantasy Analysis
Graham has gone without a field goal three times during that six-game stretch, his Fantasy value collapsing with the rest of the Bengals offense this season. Think of him as just a low-end Fantasy option Week 13 against the Ravens.

	#9 Carson Palmer 6-5, 230, Southern California

Injury Report
Right elbow - Missed Week 12 at Pittsburgh (Updated - 11/20/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Palmer likely won't return this season, so you shouldn't bother with him in seasonal leagues. Ryan Fitzpatrick, his replacement, is at best a No. 2 Fantasy option against the Steelers on Thursday.

	#20 David Jones 6-0, 196, Wingate
	YEAR-TO-DATE STATS
	G	TCK	SCK	INT	FUMR	TD
	11	36	0	0	0	0

Fantasy Analysis
Joseph was a low-end Fantasy DB, but was an important part of the Bengals pass defense, which ranked fairly high considering the sad state of their defense otherwise. He can safely be dropped from all Fantasy leagues while Jones is not expected to post any good stats. He will see a ton of passes start coming his way, though.

Fantasy Analysis
Kelly didn't have a Fantasy-relevant performance with the 41 yards, so he obviously hasn't had a Fantasy-relevant performance all season. Leave him on waivers for Week 13 against the Ravens.

Fantasy Analysis
Perry opened the season as Cincinnati's starter, but he's now just a bad backup on a bad team. Even if he somehow regained the starting role, we wouldn't recommend starting him in Fantasy. Leave him on waivers for Week 13 against the Ravens.

Fantasy Analysis
The Bengals obviously don't expect Caldwell to play a significant role on their offense this season. Leave him on waivers for Week 13 against the Ravens.

	YEAR-TO-DATE STATS
	G	TCK	SCK	INT	FUMR	TD
	6	3	0	0	0	0

Fantasy Analysis
Ndukwe is the only player that sees a fair amount of playing time when healthy and is a viable low-end Fantasy option. Most of these guys are reserves and have little to no Fantasy value. Make sure to keep all these players reserved Fantasy Week 12.

	#11 Ryan Fitzpatrick 6-2, 225, Harvard
	YEAR-TO-DATE STATS
	G	CMP %	PYDS	PTDS	INT	RTDS
	8	61.5	1218	6	7	1

Fantasy Analysis
Fitzpatrick entered the game averaging only 5.8 yards per attempt, so he didn't play exceptionally bad by his standards. He has topped 200 yards only once and has just six touchdown passes in seven starts. Continue to think of him as a last resort in Fantasy for Week 13 against the Ravens.

	#85 Chad Johnson 6-1, 192, Oregon State
	YEAR-TO-DATE STATS
	G	REC	YDS	YDS/REC	LNG	TD
	10	41	383	9.3	22	4

Fantasy Analysis
Lewis said he expects Johnson to playing against Baltimore on Nov. 30, the Bengals' next game. Johnson was gone from the team's facilities by the time they were opened to reporters Friday afternoon. He received treatment for a sore knee. "It was normal, it was nothing different," wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh said of Friday's team activities. "He didn't let me down. ... Like I said, we're 1-8-1 with him, so we're 0-1 without him." Thursday was the first time since Nov. 18, 2001 -- a string of 113 straight games -- that Johnson did not play in a Bengals' game. He is the franchise's career leader with 600 receptions and 8,748 yards receiving, but is having his worst season since his rookie year of 2001. He has 41 catches, 383 yards and four touchdowns. He has not caught a pass for more than 22 yards all season. Johnson is at best a No. 3 Fantasy WR heading into Week 13 against the Ravens.

	#32 Cedric Benson 5-11, 220, Texas
	YEAR-TO-DATE STATS
	G	RATT	RYDS	TD	REC	YDS	TD
	7	104	318	1	11	76	0

Fantasy Analysis
Benson has assumed the starting role in Cincinnati, but aside from that one game against Jacksonville, he hasn't done anything to make him a Fantasy asset. He remains worth owning just in case he breaks out one of these weeks, but you probably want to keep him reserved Week 13 against the Ravens.

	#81 Ben Utecht 6-6, 250, Minnesota
	YEAR-TO-DATE STATS
	G	REC	YDS	YDS/REC	LNG	TD
	8	15	116	7.7	14	0

Fantasy Analysis
Utecht obviously doesn't play a big role on offense, and he hasn't had a Fantasy-relevant performance all season. Leave him on waivers for Week 13 against the Ravens.

	#15 Chris Henry 6-4, 200, West Virginia
	YEAR-TO-DATE STATS
	G	REC	YDS	YDS/REC	LNG	TD
	7	10	107	10.7	18	0

Fantasy Analysis
Henry has plenty of ability, but the Bengals offense has become inept without Carson Palmer under center. As a backup wide receiver on a miserable offense, Henry has virtually no Fantasy appeal. The Bengals host the Ravens in Week 13.

	#16 Glenn Holt 6-1, 193, Kentucky
	YEAR-TO-DATE STATS
	G	REC	YDS	YDS/REC	LNG	TD
	10	2	16	8.0	10	1

Fantasy Analysis
Holt had gone all season without recording a reception, so you shouldn't look too much into this touchdown grab. He factors more on special teams than in the Bengals offense and remains a worthless Fantasy contributor. Leave him on waivers for Week 13 against the Ravens.

	#84 T.J. Houshmandzadeh 6-1, 199, Oregon State
	YEAR-TO-DATE STATS
	G	REC	YDS	YDS/REC	LNG	TD
	11	77	746	9.7	26	4

Fantasy Analysis
Without Johnson in the lineup to split the Steelers' coverage, Housmandzadeh didn't stand a chance against such an opposing defense. Still, in a season where nothing has gone right for the Bengals, Houshmandzadeh keeps plodding along on pace for another 100-catch season. Keep him active as a No. 2 Fantasy option Week 13 against the Ravens.
