Bengals Release Jermaine Burton

Monday, December 8, 3:31 PM

The Cincinnati Bengals are releasing wide receiver Jermaine Burton on Monday, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Burton's release comes after he was suspended for Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. It's unclear exactly why the Bengals suspended the 24-year-old, but it was most likely a disciplinary measure. The former third-rounder in 2024 out of Alabama came out of college with questions about his maturity, and they have followed him to the NFL. Burton has not played at all in 2025 after catching just four of 14 targets for 107 yards and no touchdowns in 14 games (one start) in 2024 in his first NFL season. He will now head to waivers and will get a fresh start elsewhere.

Jaylin Lane News

Jaylin Lane Has Value in Deep Leagues Going into his Sophomore Season

Wednesday, February 25, 10:36 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jaylin Lane ended his rookie season on Injured Reserve due to an ankle injury, but flashed promise at times during the 2025 season. The young receiver out of Virginia Tech played behind veteran wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Sr. for the majority of his debut season, tallying just 225 yards on 16 catches. However, Deebo is set to hit free agency in March, which opens the door for Lane to compete for the team's second option at wide receiver. Lane was primarily an intermediate-to-deep threat who averaged 14.7 air yards per target over his 15 games played, and is an intriguing option for deep-league fantasy managers looking for volatility in the late rounds. For dynasty managers, Lane remains a good stash player with upside on a promising offense.
