Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist) said he expects to be cleared for contact in May. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft suffered a torn wrist ligament in his throwing hand on November 16 against the Baltimore Ravens. The injury ended his season after 10 games. After starting the season with a calf injury, Burrow threw for 2,309 yards, 15 touchdowns, and six interceptions before being sidelined. His recovery timeline puts him well on schedule to participate in all of the team's offseason activities, so this specific injury should not be a concern. However, he has now missed 13 games in four NFL seasons, so a future injury could be a risk. Either way, he is being valued as a mid or low-end QB1 in fantasy football. The team used the franchise tag on Tee Higgins, and Ja'Marr Chase is under contract, giving Burrow plenty of firepower to bounce back.

The Cleveland Browns have signed quarterback Tyler Huntley to a one-year deal on Sunday. It's a bit surprising to see the Baltimore Ravens let Huntley walk away considering he has been a viable option for them over the last few seasons. During his career, Huntley has thrown for 1,957 passing yards, eight touchdowns, and seven interceptions, adding 509 rushing yards to his total as well. Huntley also started a playoff game for the Ravens during the 2022 season against the Cincinnati Bengals. Now, the 26-year-old will get a chance to compete for the backup job in Cleveland. He'll have plenty of competition with Jameis Winston and Dorian Thompson-Robinson also trying to secure a backup quarterback spot on the Browns.
