Bengals' Tyler Eifert: Ruled out this week

Eifert (back, ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Analysis:

With Eifert still out, the Bengals' top tight end options this weekend will remain C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Kroft. Uzomah turned his 54 snaps (out of a possible 70) this past Sunday against the Cowboys into a five-catch, 43-yards effort. For his part, Kroft logged 23 snaps, hauling in three passes for 29 yards. Both profile as Week 6 fantasy darts.
