Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah (knee sprain) will play in the Super Bowl against the Los Angeles Rams.
Uzomah suffered an MCL sprain in the Bengals comeback victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional round of the playoffs, but the extra week of rest appears to have treated him well. After putting in a series of limited practices leading up to the big game, Uzomah should be good to go later this evening.
Uzomah has benefited from the Bengals' stacked receiver group this season, as teams have had immense difficulty covering all of Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd while accounting for Joe Mixon in the running game. Our models currently project him for 5.6 fantasy points in tonight's game.
