2024 Fantasy Outlook
When the Bengals signed DJ Reader away from the Houston Texans in 2020, it demonstrated a rare willingness to aggressively pursue defensive talent via the free agent market. Reader is now in Detroit, but the Bengals hope that they've struck gold with another former Texan in Rankins, who had 37 tackles and six sacks last season. The Bengals hope that Rankins, B.J. Hill and rookie Kris Jenkins can improve an interior defensive that was frequently exploited in 2023. Read Past Outlooks

Missing Week 15
Rankins (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Rankins fell ill before the Bengals' Week 11 loss to the Chargers and is now in line to miss his fourth consecutive game Sunday with the issue. While the veteran defensive tackle remains sidelined in Week 15, expect McKinnley Jackson to see increased snaps with Cincinnati's first-team defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Should be priority for Jets
Rankins, a pending free agent, should be a high-priority re-signing for the Jets this offseason, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com suggests.
ANALYSIS
Cimini mentions the fact that Rankins plays a premium interior line position the Jets already are thin at, and he'll still be only 29 years old when next season begins. Additionally, the veteran played well against the run in 2022, as New York allowed just 3.8 yards per carry with him on the field and 4.1 without him.
