Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) was officially limited for the third time this week on Friday but he is good to go for Sunday's divisional contest against the Cleveland Browns in Week 16. Burrow is also battling through soreness in his surgically repaired right wrist, but all systems are go for the 28-year-old signal-caller. Even though the former first overall pick threw for under 200 yards against the Browns in their first meeting on Oct. 20, fantasy managers should keep Burrow locked into their starting lineups this weekend as a top-five QB. Burrow has been the QB3 overall in total fantasy points and currently leads the NFL in passing yards (3,977) and touchdown passes (36) while throwing only eight interceptions. The Browns have played divisional opponents much tougher in 2024, but Burrow is a must-start, high-end QB1.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee, wrist) was listed as limited for the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Burrow has been managing a sore knee and has been getting treatment for his surgically repaired right wrist in the last week, but he was able to start in the Week 15 win over the Tennessee Titans and continued to be impressive, throwing for 271 yards and three touchdowns, although he also uncorked two interceptions and lost a fumble. There's no reason for fantasy managers not to expect the 28-year-old to be out there for a divisional matchup this Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. The Bengals are likely to miss the postseason, but hasn't been for lack of Burrow's effort as one of the best QBs in football in 2024. Even though he had only 181 yards and two TDs in the first meeting against Cleveland on Oct. 20, Burrow should be a top-five fantasy QB in Week 16.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) didn't have any issues with his surgically repaired knee in the Week 15 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Burrow was wearing a sleeve on his knee in last Monday night's win over the Dallas Cowboys and dealt with some soreness after that game, but he was fine to play on Sunday against the Titans. The 28-year-old former first overall pick had a mixed bag in the victory, going 26-for-37 for 271 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. He also lost a fumble, but the Bengals defense forced six turnovers to help the team overcome a sloppy performance. Burrow fell just shy of his fifth straight game with at least 300 yards passing. Burrow leads the league in both yardage (3,977) and passing touchdowns (36). Despite throwing for only 181 yards in Week 7 against the Browns, he'll be a must-start QB1 against them in the rematch in Week 16.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 271 yards, three touchdowns, and two picks off 26-for-37 passing in Sunday's win over the Titans. It wasn't the prettiest showing from the signal-caller, who also had a fumble. But it was still good enough for Burrow to finish with his sixth-straight game with at least three touchdown tosses. More importantly, his efforts resulted in another win, which bolstered the Bengals playoff chances while helping those competing for a fantasy football championship. Fresh off another victory, Burrow and the Bengals will look to keep it going against the Browns in Week 16, with the former LSU Tiger throwing for 181 yards and two scores when these clubs met back in October.
Dec 15, 2024 4:35 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) is officially good to go for Sunday's contest versus the Tennessee Titans in Week 15 and won't carry an injury designation into the game. Burrow was seen wearing a sleeve on his surgically repaired knee in Monday night's win over the Dallas Cowboys and dealt with some residual soreness the next day. He was limited in practice this week but is good to go and should be started as a top-five fantasy QB in lineups this weekend in what is the first week of the fantasy playoffs in most leagues. The Titans defense has been underrated this season, allowing the fewest passing yards (2,459) on the season. However, they've also allowed the 13th-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks through 14 weeks, and Burrow enters Week 15 as the QB3 in overall fantasy points while leading the NFL in passing yards and passing touchdowns.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee, wrist) was listed as limited for the second straight day this week in Thursday's practice. Burrow was seen wearing a sleeve on his surgically repaired knee in the Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night and came out of the game with some soreness. The 28-year-old might not be exactly 100 percent heading into a Week 16 game against the Tennessee Titans this Sunday, but he's not expected to be in any danger of sitting out. He's likely to practice in full on Friday and be removed from the final injury report. Tennessee hasn't been a friendly matchup for opposing QBs in fantasy this year, but Burrow's body of work in 2024 has made him a must-start, high-end WR1. Burrow is the overall QB3 in fantasy points through 14 weeks, he leads the NFL with 3,706 passing yards and also leads the NFL with his 33 passing touchdowns.
Dec 12, 2024 5:19 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) will practice this week. "Just sore," head coach Zac Taylor said. Burrow was seen wearing a sleeve on his surgically repaired left knee in Monday night's 27-20 win over the Dallas Cowboys. It's something to keep an eye on down the stretch of the season, but Burrow will practice this week and should be fine to start in Week 15 versus the Tennessee Titans. Despite facing a Titans defense that has been surprisingly good in 2024, Burrow should remain a top-five fantasy QB in Week 15 fantasy lineups. The 28-year-old has been dicing up opposing defenses most of the year and enters the week as the QB3 in overall fantasy points, behind only Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. Burrow has a total of 3,706 passing yards and has thrown 33 touchdowns and only six interceptions in 2024. Leave him locked into your starting lineups.
Dec 11, 2024 1:09 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow completed 33 of his 44 pass attempts for 369 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception during Monday's Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He also took two sacks and lost two rushing yards. All in all, the former No. 1 pick had another very impressive performance, largely thanks to his connection with Ja'Marr Chase. The star receiver caught 14 passes on Monday and accounted for nearly half of his quarterback's passing yards in the primetime victory. Burrow is the overall QB2 in fantasy football since Week 9 despite having a bye during that window.
Dec 10, 2024 2:03 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has arguably been the league's top signal-caller during the 2024-25 campaign. The AFC Player of the Month has been stellar, throwing for 3,337 yards, 30 touchdowns, and five interceptions while completing 67.7% of his throws. However, his efficiency hasn't resulted in a winning record for Cincinnati. With the Bengals barely clinging on to hope of making the playoffs, Burrow and company will try to keep the team alive by earning a win over the Cowboys on Monday night. With the Dallas defense allowing 28.3 points per game this season, Burrow should be in line for a potent fantasy showing. His ceiling will increase even more if Nick Vigil (foot) and Trevon Diggs (knee) aren't on the field in Week 14.
Dec 7, 2024 7:39 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (leg) had another productive showing in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, there is concern surrounding the health of the oft-injured signal-caller, with Burrow spotted limping after the game. He reported he took a cleat early in the contest that "drew a good amount of blood." But Burrow couldn't provide an update on his condition, but says the team will "know more on Tuesday." He should be in line for further testing while also potentially missing practice time throughout the week. At the same time, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised to see Burrow carry a questionable designation heading into the Week 14 meeting with the Dallas Cowboys. If Burrow can't play, Jake Browning would take over under center. Unfortunately, Browning's presence may not be good news for Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and the rest of the Bengals' offense.
Dec 1, 2024 7:42 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 309 yards, three touchdowns, and one pick off 28-for-38 passing in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. He added two carries for nine yards. The Bengals offense knew they would have their hands full against a sound Pittsburgh defense. Despite that, Burrow had a productive showing, although the Bengals defense could stop the Steelers from putting up 44 points. With Cincinnati unlikely to earn a postseason berth, Burrow and company will look to get on track on Monday night versus the five-win Cowboys. The Dallas defense has struggled throughout the 2024-25 campaign, allowing a third-worst 28.3 points per game, meaning Burrow should be in line for another efficient outing.
Dec 1, 2024 4:52 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will look to keep his team's postseason hopes alive by earning a win against Pittsburgh in Week 13. Burrow has arguably been the best quarterback in the NFL during the 2024-25 campaign and is currently tied with Lamar Jackson for a league-leading 27 touchdown throws. Without question, the former LSU Tiger isn't the problem for Cincinnati's underwhelming record. Instead, the Bengals' defense has struggled. While Burrow has been more productive versus other teams over the years, he's a must-start for Sunday's meeting with a formidable Steelers' defense.
Nov 30, 2024 12:43 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow completed 28 of his 50 pass attempts for 356 yards, three touchdowns, and zero turnovers during Sunday's Week 11 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The Bengals may be 4-7 and third place in the AFC North, but Burrow has been nothing short of impressive this year, completing 67.2 percent of his passes for 3,028 yards, 27 touchdowns, and just four interceptions. He has surpassed 33 fantasy points in each of his last three games and should be treated as a high-end QB1 option when the Bengals return to action on the other side of their Week 12 bye.
Nov 18, 2024 12:18 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has had an MVP-caliber season. While the Bengals are sitting at a disappointing 4-6, the signal-caller has shined, leading the league in completions (246), yards (2,672), and touchdowns (24). Cincinnati can still make waves in the AFC, but the team will need a win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night. Fortunately for Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase has also thrived during the 2024-25 campaign. The same can be said for Chase Brown. Even better, Tee Higgins (quadriceps) will be back on the field in Week 11. With nine touchdown throws in the last two games, Burrow remains a must-start, despite a challenging matchup on tap.
Nov 16, 2024 1:37 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (arm) is dealing with some soreness after he was hit hard a few times in the 35-34 Thursday night loss to the division-rival Baltimore Ravens, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Burrow was seen wincing when trying to move his left arm on the sidelines on Thursday evening after taking a few hard hits, but he never came out of the game and had another fantastic performance for his fantasy managers in the one-point loss, throwing for a season-high 428 yards on a season-high 56 pass attempts while tossing four touchdown passes and no interception. The former first overall pick out of LSU appears to be hitting his stride in the middle of the season and has now gone 61-for-95 for 679 passing yards, nine TDs and one interception the last two weeks. He'll be a no-brainer TE1 in Week 11, albeit in a tough matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Nov 8, 2024 1:34 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow played well in Thursday's narrow loss to the Baltimore Ravens. While he wasn't as potent as he was when these clubs last met, he still threw for 428 yards and four touchdowns off 34-for-56 passing. Outside of two fumbles, the signal-caller did his part on Thursday night. However, the Bengals defense allowed the Ravens to overcome a 14-point deficit and eventually take the lead halfway through the fourth quarter. But as far as Burrow is concerned, he continues to have an MVP-caliber season. With that in mind, Cincinnati will get some extra time off before taking the field again versus a capable Chargers defense in Week 11.
Nov 8, 2024 12:14 AM EST
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will meet the Ravens for the second time this season. The signal-caller is coming off a strong showing, throwing for 251 yards off 27-for-39 passing in Week 9 versus the Raiders. He also tossed five touchdowns, the same number he had in the narrow overtime loss to Baltimore in Week 5. Granted, it will be difficult to duplicate such a performance, even against a shaky Ravens defense. However, the upside is there for Burrow, giving him a favorable outlook for Week 10.
Nov 6, 2024 9:24 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow had a monster showing in the Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The signal-caller was mediocre in the Week 8 loss to the Eagles. But he turned it around on Sunday, throwing for 251 yards and five touchdowns (one pick) off 27-for-39 passing. Without question, Burrow continues to have an MVP-caliber season, although he'll be tested on Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Still, he remains a must-start in all fantasy formats.
Nov 3, 2024 8:52 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow couldn't lift his squad to a win over the Philadelphia Eagles. With Cincinnati sitting at 3-5 on the season, the signal-caller will try to get the Bengals on track with a win over the Raiders on Sunday. Burrow had thrown at least two touchdowns in five of his seven appearances leading up to the meeting with Philly. But he was a step above mediocre in Week 8, ending the game by throwing for 234 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Fortunately, Burrow and company have an excellent chance of earning a win over the 2-6 Raiders, and the former LSU Tiger will have the luxury of facing a team that has allowed 26.3 points per game during the 2024-25 campaign, one of the worst marks in the National Football League. Although Burrow likely won't have Tee Higgins (quadriceps) or Zack Moss (neck), he'll still have Ja'Marr Chase, Chase Brown, and others to increase his odds of having a productive afternoon for fantasy managers.
Nov 2, 2024 12:13 PM EST
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 234 yards, one touchdown, and one interception off 26-for-37 passing in Sunday's meeting with the Eagles. He added three carries for 15 yards. The Bengals were without Tee Higgins (quadriceps), who had three touchdowns in the previous three games. However, the signal-caller still had an acceptable showing, although his efforts couldn't bring his team to .500. Hopefully, Higgins will be healthy enough to return for the Week 9 matchup with the visiting Las Vegas Raiders. Still, even if Higgins isn't back on the field, Burrow should remain a starting fantasy option.
