Joe Burrow News
Sunday, October 4, 6:18 PM
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was impressive through the air on Sunday. Burrow completed 39-of-54 passing attempts for 428 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Burrow also rushed the ball three times for six yards and an additional score. It's almost more impressive that Burrow posted these numbers with Ja'Marr Chase (concussion) not playing in the second half. Burrow did everything he could, with six different players having at least three receptions during this game. Sadly, both Chase and Tee Higgins (adductor) left the game, and Burrow wasn't able to make a comeback. Fantasy managers should consider Burrow an elite fantasy option for the Week 5 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

Jaxson Dart News
Wednesday, September 30, 4:10 PM
New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart (knee) had both his meniscus and MCL repaired during a successful surgery on his left knee Wednesday, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Head coach John Harbaugh said that Dart's surgery "went well," but he added that "maybe that's a little ambitious" when asked if it is possible that the team will get the former first-rounder back for the playoffs. The 23-year-old took a hit to his left knee in the Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams and will now miss the rest of the 2026 regular season. It is obviously devastating news for Dart and the Giants, but the good news is that his ACL and PCL are intact, so he should be ready in plenty of time before the start of the 2027 campaign next fall. In Dart's absence, veteran Jameis Winston will make his second start of the year in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals after leading the team to a win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 3. Winston is going to have a short leash, though, after the G-Men sent a fifth-rounder to the Minnesota Vikings to acquire former first-round QB J.J. McCarthy earlier this week.
