Bengals vs. Dolphins odds, NFL Week 5 predictions: Polymarket promo code CBSSPORTS for $25 bonus

The Cincinnati Bengals will look to move up the standings when they visit the downtrodden Miami Dolphins in Week 5 of the NFL season. The Bengals enter Sunday's action at 2-2 and in last place in the AFC North but should like their chances against the Dolphins, easily one of the league's worst teams. Fans can use the latest Polymarket promo code CBSSPORTS to get a $25 trading bonus when they deposit $10 at one of the best prediction market apps to make predictions for Cincinnati vs. Miami. Get started at Polymarket with the promo code CBSSPORTS: See the Polymarket promo code review page for a full breakdown of the terms and conditions of this offer. Make sure prediction markets are legal in your state before signing up to trade. Cincinnati got good news on Friday when star wide reciever Ja'Marr Chase returned to practice, a potential prelude to Chase playing on Sunday. The Bengals are 40-27 when both Burrow and Chase play. Also in Cincinnati's favor is that 0-4 Miami is severely lacking in offensive talent following a series of offseason departures. The team is clearly aiming to stock up in the NFL Draft and also recently lost excellent running back De'Von Achane to injury. A Cincinnati win is 74% at Polymarket, while a Miami upset is 26%. Trade on Polymarket with the promo code CBSSPORTS and get a $25 trading bonus: Both Chase and Tee Higgins carried injuries this week and could be limited factors on Sunday if they suit up. Both are questionable. That would deprive Joe Burrow of constant access to his two most important weapons. Both seem to be trending in the right direction but may not be operating at full capacity on Sunday. That being said, the talent disparity between these teams is notable. Trade on Polymarket with the promo code CBSSPORTS and get a $25 trading bonus: This could largely come down to how many snaps Chase and Higgins are able to play. The Dolphins have scored just four offensive touchdowns this season and now have to play without Achane, their best offensive weapon. That being said, Miami has actually produced middle-of-the-road defense and could turn this into a rock fight if the Bengals' star wideouts are limited. A Cincinnati win by a touchdown or more is trading at 52% on Polymarket. The game being tighter than a touchdown is trading at 49%. Trade on Polymarket with the promo code CBSSPORTS and get a $25 trading bonus: Again, much will hinge on Chase and Higgins -- and whether the Dolphins can muster up some offense. The latter could be a tall order based on how the first four games of Miami's season have gone. Miami has allowed 25.3 points per game while Cincinnati has allowed 21.3. The Bengals and Dolphins combining to score 44 or more points on Sunday is trading at 50% on Polymarket. The game ending with 43 total points or fewer is also 50%.

Dolphins claim RB Kaytron Allen off waivers

The Dolphins have added a running back. Miami has claimed Kaytron Allen off of waivers after Washington let him go earlier this week, the team announced on Friday. A sixth-round pick in this year’s draft, Allen had appeared in all four games for Washington, taking 12 carries for 41 yards. He also appeared on special teams, taking 29 snaps on the unit. The Dolphins had a need for more depth at running back, particularly after De’Von Achane suffered a torn ACL. Jaylen Wright started for the Dolphins at running back last week, though Ollie Gordon was the leading rusher with 100 yards on nine carries

NFL odds: Week 5 parlays featuring favorites, underdogs include Bears vs. Packers, 49ers vs. Seahawks

We've reached Week 5 of the 2026 NFL season, and with two teams on bye this week, we've got a 13-game slate for Sunday, and boy are there some intriguing matchups. The Bears and Packers do battle in the NFC North, and the Seahawks host the 49ers in the NFC West.

Tail Tierney's picks for NFL Week 5 with the BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS for up to $1,500 in bonus bets : With the Bengals bungling at times and receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins probably sitting, the money line has gotten seriously low for a game involving Miami. The Dolphins ' offense was impotent enough with running back De'Von Achane , the roster's shining light. Now that he is done for the year, Miami must beg, borrow and steal points. Cincy is yielding two touchdowns per outing against more effective attacks. The Dolphins have managed four touchdowns all season. Until their offense shows a pulse, they are an automatic play-against -- no matter the opponent. The Bears are ball hogs. They have maintained possession for 36 minutes per game -- that's 60% for the math-challenged -- which is four minutes more than the next-best team. The muscular running attack has racked up an astonishing 196.3 yards per game. The stout defense has also helped shore things up with the absence of quarterback Caleb Williams . Green Bay is at the opposite end of the spectrum, with 26 minutes per (second-fewest) and 58 yards per (fewest). yawning to ignore. Advantage, big-time, to Da Bears. The Falcons might want to request exclusively prime time games. Not only did they pull off consecutive one-sided wins under the lights the past two weeks. Bijan Robinson , the best running in this game -- sorry, future Hall of Famer Derrick Henry -- had 200-plus yards from scrimmage in Week 3 and is coming off a mere 145-yard, two-touchdown masterpiece Monday. The money line moved about a touchdown when Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was labeled doubtful. That is extreme, but the return of Michael Penix Jr . at quarterback for the hapless Cooper Rush after two games has worked wonders for the ATL. Make NFL bets with the latest DraftKings promo code and get $150 in bonus bets when you spend $5+: It's quite rare for a squad riding a three-game straight-up win streak to land on the plus side of the money line against one on a three-game slide. The Browns might be eking out wins, but a team devoid of confidence in recent seasons is feeling good about itself. That matters. Deshaun Watson , while not at the level of his heyday in Houston, is rollicking with a 72% completion rate. It's generally a no-no to base a pick partly on the previous game, yet the Jets ' offense slogged through one of the sorriest duds in NFL annals. Chances for an immediate turn-around seem farfetched. It's also quite rare for an undefeated team through four weeks to have survived two without scoring a touchdown while ranking last in yards per play (4.4). Worse for Minnesota, understudies might be inserted on the left side of the interior O-line for ailing tackle Christian Darrisaw and guard Donovan Jackson . The Vikings live and die -- mostly live -- with their Rubik's Cube of a pass rush. Good luck solving it, though young Tyler Shough has become a bona fide NFL quarterback. Field goals have rescued the Vikings' offensively, but they cannot count on threes forever. Know what else is rare? Getting [... truncated ...]

Five field goals enough for Vikings to beat Dolphins

The Vikings never reached the end zone today. To beat the Dolphins, they didn’t need to. Minnesota won 15-10 on the strength of five Will Reichard field goals. The Vikings were without their best player, wide receiver Justin Jefferson, but they got a great game out of tight end T.J. Hockenson, who caught all 13 passes thrown to him, for 119 yards. On Hockenson’s last catch, he purposely went to the ground just short of the goal line at the two-minute warning, which was smart clock management as the Dolphins were out of timeouts and the Vikings just had to kneel down to win it from there. Vikings running back Aaron Jones carried a big workload, with 20 carries for 94 yards, and while quarterback Kyler Murray wasn’t great, he was good enough on a day when the Vikings didn’t need to score much. It didn’t help Murray that the Vikings lost the left side of their offensive line, as left guard Donovan Jackson (knee) and left tackle Christian Darrisaw (neck) both exited the game with injuries. The bright spot for the Dolphins was running back Ollie Gordon, who had a 100-yard game in his first start in place of the injured De’Von Achane. But Gordon was just about the only player on the Dolphins’ offense who got the job done today. Miami quarterback Malik Willis struggled to find open receivers, and the Vikings’ pass rush didn’t give him much time. At 0-4, the Dolphins look like the worst team in the NFL. At 4-0, the Vikings look like one of the league’s most pleasant surprises

Sportsbook Rankings vs Expert Consensus Rankings Wars: Week 4

Week 4 is here. We got underway on Thursday with the Deshaun Watson renaissance continuing, as the Browns moved to 3-1. The less said about that, the better. Week 4 has some great games. We head to London for the first time, we have the Jaguars facing the Bengals, the Rams facing the under-pressure Eagles, the red-hot 49ers against the misfiring Broncos, and the now-weekly humiliation of the Los Angeles Chargers — this time at the hands of the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. For anyone new here, this column is simple. Every week, we pit sportsbook rankings against expert consensus rankings. I find the largest discrepancy between the sportsbooks’ fantasy football rankings and the experts: one quarterback, one running back, one wide receiver, and one tight end. Before we get into this week’s wars, let’s take a look at how last week played out . The scoring system is closest to the final rank wins. I highlighted these players before Sunday’s games: Baker Mayfield – Sportsbooks win De’Von Achane – Push due to injury Parker Washington – Experts win Hunter Henry – Experts win That gives the experts another weekly win. They move to 2-0. Now, let’s get into Week 4. PlayerProfiler is home to award-winning dynasty rankings and tools. Our Dynasty Deluxe package includes complete Dynasty Rankings , Rookie Rankings , Trade Analyzer , Draft Planner , Mock Drafts , and more. Check it out! Sportsbook Rank: QB7 Expert Consensus Rank: QB10 In his first three seasons in the NFL, Bryce Young has been a low-end QB2 in fantasy. He has finished as the QB23, QB20, and QB19. Sure, there have been spike weeks — a 31-point outing in Week 11 last year against the Falcons comes to mind — but for the most part, Young hasn’t been a reliable option in one-QB leagues. This year, though, things are different. Through three games, Young ranks as the QB4 in fantasy. He’s coming off his worst game of the admittedly young season, in which he got banged up by a wandering cleat early in the game. Young has 939 passing yards, tops in the league so far. That’s impressive, given Young had crossed 200 yards just four times last season. Bryce Young’s 2026 Explosive Play Rating Young gets the buffet defense of the Detroit Lions in Week 4. Through three games, the Lions have given up a league-high 299 passing yards per game and the most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. Though the Panthers could be without ascending wide receiver Jalen Coker, they will be without starting corners Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson. If Detroit takes advantage of Carolina’s depleted secondary, it could force Young into a more aggressive passing game script. His passing total is at 246.5 yards, the seventh-highest on the week. The sportsbooks have Young at QB7, while the experts have him at QB10. Sportsbook Rank: RB12 Expert Consensus Rank: RB19 Bucky Irving’s stock plummeted over the offseason after he missed a chunk of the 2025 campaign due to a shoulder injury. When he returned, Irving’s role was reduced. He became an afterthought in the receiving game and saw no goal-line work. Irving posted notable declines in success rate, EPA/rush, red zone efficiency, targets, and fantasy points per game. The Buccaneers’ run game has been one of the only highlights on an otherwise miserable offense led by under-pressure Todd Bowels — sorry, Bowles. Irving ranks as the RB14 through three weeks, which represents a solid return on investment for anyone who drafted him. rookie season type run here for bucky irving pic.twitter.com/S8Skmj00Kx — Josh Norris (@JoshNorris) September 23, 2026 In Week 4, Bucky Irving gets the Green Bay Packers, who have given up the most fantasy points per game to running backs. Granted, they just played Bijan Robinson. Still, Irving ranks sixth in targets and fifth in receptions among all running backs. The sportsbooks have Irving at RB12, while the experts have him at RB19. Sportsbook Rank: WR48 Expert Consensus Rank: WR35 De’Von Achane’s ACL i [... truncated ...]

Drops: De'Von Achane

Jaylen Wright Has Deep-League Sleeper Potential

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (foot) will be back in action after missing last week's contest. He was ruled out with a stinger and a foot injury before the Dolphins played the Chiefs last week, so he wasn't able to step in after starting RB De'Von Achane (knee) left the game. Ollie Gordon II stepped up instead and produced a solid line by rushing 17 times for 41 yards and a touchdown and catching all three of his targets for 14 yards. Wright has flashed upside in the past when given more work and was actually listed as the team's RB1 with Gordon as his backup coming into this week. Wright was the second RB before Achane's injury, but the timeshare is unpredictable heading into this week's very difficult matchup on the road against the Vikings' excellent run defense. Due to the uncertainty and the matchup, Wright is only the RB50 in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings, but he has the potential to be an important contributor in Miami for the rest of the season. Stashing him on your bench to see how Sunday's workload is split is a strategy that makes sense

Ollie Gordon II Is a Deep-League FLEX Option

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II will step into an expanded role in Week 4, and he is definitely a deep-league fantasy option even in a tough matchup with the Vikings. Gordon stepped in last week for De'Von Achane (knee), who was lost for the season. He played 84% of snaps and took 17 carries for 41 rushing yards and a touchdown, while catching all three of his targets for 14 receiving yards. His efficiency was not impressive in the struggling offense, but he should be in a large enough role to be a touchdown-dependent play. He's only a fringe option in standard-sized leagues due to a very tough matchup against the Vikings, who have allowed zero RB touchdowns and the fourth-fewest fantasy points to the position. He will also likely share time with Jaylen Wright, who missed Week 3 with a foot injury. In a tough matchup and an uncertain timeshare, Gordon is the RB36 this week in RotoBaller's rankings, but he definitely has the opportunity to win playing time for the rest of the season in Achane's absence, so stash him on your bench in standard-sized leagues and see how the week plays out

Jaylen Wright Upgrades to Full Practice on Thursday

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (foot) was listed as a full participant in Thursday's practice as the team prepares to face the Minnesota Vikings. Wright missed Week 3's 24-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs due to a foot injury and a stinger he suffered the previous week. With Wright trending in the right direction for Week 4, he should see a significant increase in usage, especially with star running back De'Von Achane (knee) out for the season with a torn ACL. While second-year back Ollie Gordon II was the clear workhorse last week, the team listed Wright as the starter on their depth chart. If Wright can suit up in Week 4, the tough matchup against the Vikings makes both backs risky fantasy options

Jaylen Wright to be Limited on Wednesday

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (neck, foot) will be limited in practice on Wednesday, head coach Jeff Hafley told Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post. It is a good sign that Wright will be ready to return for the team's Week 4 contest this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings after he was inactive for the Week 3 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs with a stinger and a foot injury. The Dolphins need Wright to step up the rest of the season, too, with De'Von Achane (knee) out for the rest of the year due to a torn ACL. In addition to Wright, the Dolphins have Ollie Gordon II, who had 20 touches (17 carries, three receptions) on Sunday against the Chiefs after Achane left early. The 23-year-old Wright only had three carries for 10 yards and was not targeted in the passing game in the first two games of the 2026 season, but his role is about to expand considerably whenever he returns from his two injuries. Fantasy managers who lost out on Gordon on waivers this week should target Wright for more backfield depth. He is rostered in 15% of Yahoo leagues right now
