Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that quarterback Joe Burrow will play more this preseason than ever before as the team looks to get off to a faster start than in years past. Burrow played sparingly last year, going 5-for-7 for 51 yards and one touchdown in his first action in the preseason since 2021. The Bengals got off to a slow start in 2024 that they could never recover from, so they're hoping to avoid that same situation in 2025 and come out firing in Week 1. The 28-year-old former first overall pick was excellent last year, leading the league in passing yards (4,918), completions (460), pass attempts (652), yards per game (289.3) and touchdowns (43) in 17 starts. It was a nice rebound from his injury-shortened 2023 campaign and a reminder that he's a QB1 in fantasy with perhaps the best receiving duo in the league in Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

The Cincinnati Bengals announced on Tuesday that they placed running back Zack Moss (neck) on the Active/Non-Football Injury list. Moss was only able to play in eight games (six starts) last year in his first season with the Bengals due to a season-ending neck injury. The 27-year-old did take part in OTAs in the spring, though, which means he should be activated from the NFI list sooner than later at camp. Chase Brown is the clear lead back for the Bengals after a big 2024 season, although Moss will be involved as a change-of-pace option if he's healthy. Moss saw only 74 rushing attempts last year and ran for 242 yards (career-low 3.3 yards per carry) and two touchdowns. When Moss is able to get back onto the field, he'll primarily be competing with veteran Samaje Perine for the No. 2 duties behind Brown this year.

Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher said that running back Chase Brown is a focal point of the offense. Brown broke out in his second year in the NFL in 2024 with 990 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 229 carries in 16 games (10 starts) after he had only 179 rushing yards and no touchdowns in his rookie campaign. The 25-year-old also added 54 receptions on 65 targets for 360 yards and four more touchdowns in the passing game. Zack Moss remains in Cincy's backfield and will continue to be involved if he's healthy, but it's clear that Brown will be the top back in 2025 in one of the best offenses in football. Brown proved he can handle plenty of volume as both a runner and a pass-catcher, making him even more valuable in PPR fantasy leagues. Going into the 2025 season, RotoBaller has Brown ranked as the RB10.

Former Atlanta Falcons starting quarterback Desmond Ridder is signing an undisclosed deal with the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, per the NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Ridder will bring some experience to the Bengals' QB room behind starter Joe Burrow. The 25-year-old Ridder will join backups Jake Browning and Logan Woodside. He was originally a third-rounder by Atlanta in 2022 out of Cincinnati. Ridder made 17 starts in Atlanta in his first two years in the NFL before being traded to the Arizona Cardinals in 2024. He then appeared in six games with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2024 before joining the Bengals this summer. In three NFL seasons, Ridder has completed 63.6% of his pass attempts for 4,002 yards, 16 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in 25 games (18 starts). He will not be a lock to make the 53-man roster out of training camp.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Erick All Jr. (knee) has been placed on the active/physically unable to perform list on Saturday. This was expected as All is still recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 9 of last season. Before that, All registered 20 receptions for 158 yards in nine games (six starts) with the Bengals during his rookie season. There is no timetable for his return, so Mike Gesicki should operate as the primary tight end to start the season. Gesicki is coming off a season where he recorded 65 receptions for 665 yards in 17 games. Those numbers figure to be on the rise considering the Bengals don't have much depth outside of their two star wide receivers.
