Player Notes
September 26, 2008
Ben Utecht continues to be limited at practice because of his chest injury, and whether or not he plays this weekend will be his ability to tolerate the pain, according to the Bengals Official Website.

Our View:Utecht has been hampered by injury in the early going and has been a non-factor in the passing game for the Bengals. Apparently he is in no danger of exacerbating the injury, so if he can tough it out, he will go.
September 24, 2008
Ben Utecht returned to practice Wednesday after missing last week due to a chest injury, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Our View:If healthy, Utecht will have a good shot to post favorable numbers at home against the rival Browns.
September 21, 2008
Week 3 inactives: QB Jordan Palmer (3rd), CB Johnathan Joseph, SS Dexter Jackson, DB Herana-Daze Jones, TE Ben Utecht, DT Pat Sims, and DT Jason Shirley.

Our View:There are no surprises for fantasy owners here. Utecht (chest) didn't practice all week, and Reggie Kelly should step into a larger role. Kelly is only a No. 2 fantasy tight end option.
September 19, 2008
Ben Utecht has been unable to practice all week due to his chest injury and is doubtful to play in Week 3 against the Giants, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Our View:Reggie Kelly looks to start in his place, but only ranks as a No. 2 fantasy tight end.
September 18, 2008
Ben Utecht missed another practice Thursday due to his bruised chest, according to the Bengals' official website. He was unable to practice yesterday as well.

Our View:It does not look like he will be fit to play in Week 3 against the Giants. On a positive note, Reggie Kelly returned to practice after sitting out Wednesday to nurse a head injury. Kelly looks to start Sunday at the Meadowlands.
