Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe), who suffered a serious turf-toe injury back in Week 2, is on track to return from Injured Reserve in mid-December, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Burrow is a month into a three-month recovery after having surgery for a Grade 3 turf-toe injury. Burrow has been doing well in his rehab and has not had any setbacks, which means he's still in play to return at the tail end of the regular season if the Bengals still have something to play for. He has told people he has every intention of playing again this year, but he just needs Cincinnati to stay in the hunt in the meantime. The 28-year-old isn't guaranteed to be in play for the fantasy playoffs, so managers shouldn't feel obligated to hold onto him in redraft leagues. Jake Browning struggled with turnovers (eight picks in four games) after replacing Burrow, leading Cincy to trade for veteran Joe Flacco to try and keep the team's playoff hopes alive.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix completed 27 of his 50 pass attempts for 279 yards, two passing touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 7 win over the New York Giants. He also added 49 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. The Broncos couldn't get anything going for most of this game as they were held scoreless through three quarters. However, fueled by Nix's four scores, the Broncos marched back in the fourth quarter, scored 33 points, and pulled off an improbable 33-32 win at the buzzer. Nix ultimately had his best fantasy performance of the season, moving into low-end QB1 territory going forward. He should be started in most leagues ahead of a potential Week 8 shootout against the Dallas Cowboys.
