After Bengals' H-back Ryan Hewitt injured his MCL during the regular season, Fisher's number was switched from 74 to 44 so he wouldn't have to check in as an eligible receiver every play he was used as a pass catcher.

After the season, Fisher switched back to number 74 and began taking reps at center during the Bengals' training camp.

He started seven out of eight games before leaving midway through the team's Week 9 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

He made his first and only start of the season in Week 12 at left tackle in place of an injured Glenn.

[11] Set to be a free agent in 2019, Fisher dropped his weight to 285 pounds in an effort to convert to a blocking tight end.
