Joe Burrow to Play More This Preseason

Wednesday, July 23, 10:52 AM

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that quarterback Joe Burrow will play more this preseason than ever before as the team looks to get off to a faster start than in years past. Burrow played sparingly last year, going 5-for-7 for 51 yards and one touchdown in his first action in the preseason since 2021. The Bengals got off to a slow start in 2024 that they could never recover from, so they're hoping to avoid that same situation in 2025 and come out firing in Week 1. The 28-year-old former first overall pick was excellent last year, leading the league in passing yards (4,918), completions (460), pass attempts (652), yards per game (289.3) and touchdowns (43) in 17 starts. It was a nice rebound from his injury-shortened 2023 campaign and a reminder that he's a QB1 in fantasy with perhaps the best receiving duo in the league in Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

Trevor Lawrence Says He's 100 Percent Healthy

Thursday, July 24, 7:24 PM

Speaking at the team's first training camp practice on Wednesday, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) said he's 100 percent healthy after missing seven games last year due to a shoulder injury and a concussion, per Jags beat writer John Oehser. Lawrence required season-ending surgery in December on his left (non-throwing) shoulder. "I feel really good," Lawrence said. "It's the best I felt in a long time physically." In addition to rehabbing in the offseason, the 25-year-old former first overall pick spent time honing in on his footwork. Lawrence so far hasn't lived up to his draft billing, but he was a Pro Bowler in 2022 and should be able to have a bounce-back season in head coach Liam Coen's offense in 2025. He'll have a nice one-two punch of Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter at wideout as well, making him a decent QB2 target with upside in superflex fantasy formats.
