Joe Burrow Attending Voluntary Workouts, Ready for Monster Season?

Thursday, May 7, 1:19 PM

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, who missed nine games in 2025 after having surgery for turf toe, was reportedly with the team last week for the start of their voluntary offseason workouts and appeared to look pretty happy, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Rapoport adds that Burrow was quoted recently in Vanity Fair, saying he's "excited to see the initiative of the Bengals" this offseason. Cincy went 6-11 last season (third in the AFC North) and missed the playoffs for the third straight season and the eighth time in the last 10 years. The Bengals are going all-in for the 2026 season after acquiring defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence from the New York Giants and signing linebacker Boye Mafe to a three-year, $60 million contract in free agency. The 29-year-old Burrow appears to be fully healthy as he enters his seventh season in the league, and he'll be a clear high-end QB1 target in fantasy drafts this fall despite his injury history. Burrow threw for a league-best 4,918 yards and 43 touchdowns in 17 starts in 2024, and he's RotoBaller's No.5-ranked fantasy QB for 2026 right now.

Jordan Love News

Is Jordan Love's Dynasty Upside Fading Entering 2026?

Thursday, May 7, 11:51 AM

Across 15 starts in 2026, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 66.3% of his pass attempts for 3,381 yards, 23 touchdowns, and six interceptions. On arm talent alone, Love's fantasy upside appears to be higher than his QB17 and QB15 finishes of the past two seasons. However, Green Bay has been one of the most run-heavy offenses in the NFL in recent years and seems likely to profile similarly going forward. Love could also be working with a diminished group of pass-catchers in 2026. The Packers let wide receiver Romeo Doubs walk in free agency, and star tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) is working his way back from the torn ACL that ended his 2025 season. Love still carries some degree of dynasty upside as he enters his age-28 campaign, but he may be settling in as more of a fringe starter in single-QB formats.
