Bengals DE Shemar Stewart carries a doubtful tag into Sunday's season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to Adam Schefter. Every other Cincinnati player is off the injury report.
What is Stewart's injury?
Research notes confirm Stewart has a knee injury and that head coach Zac Taylor acknowledged the doubtful designation. No recovery timeline has been confirmed.
Fantasy impact
Stewart is a defensive end and unlikely to appear in most fantasy formats outside of IDP leagues. Even there, a doubtful tag this late in the week makes him a near-certain scratch. If you roster him in an IDP format, find a replacement before Sunday's kickoff.
The clean injury report for everyone else in Cincinnati is good news for fantasy managers starting Bengals skill players this week.
