Bengals | Burrow off injury report entirely, full speed ahead for Steelers game Wed Sep 23, 05:03 PM
Josh Alper of ProFootballTalk.com reports that Bengals QB Joe Burrow was not listed on the injury report after Wednesday's practice, despite head coach Zay Taylor saying before practice that he wasn't sure how much Burrow would be able to do. Video from the open portion of practice showed Burrow working without limitations, suggesting he is on track to play Sunday against the Steelers. Burrow was questionable in Week 2 with a back injury after a hit from Texans DE Will Anderson, which Burrow said popped his rib back into place. Bengals DTs Jonathan Allen (knee) and B.J. Hill (Achilles) both missed Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Burrow got banged up a bit in Week 1, and he was working through a minor back issue last week in practice. Now, Burrow is good to go. Great news for the Bengals, and bad news for defenses tasked with stopping the superstar quarterback. |

Bengals | Burrow 'sore' after Houston win as Iosivas heads to IR with torn thumb Wed Sep 23, 02:33 PM
Bengals.com reports that head coach Zac Taylor said Cincinnati QB Joe Burrow is sore after last Sunday's win in Houston and won't know his practice status until the team takes the field Wednesday afternoon. Taylor also confirmed that WR Andrei Iosivas is headed to injured reserve with torn thumb ligaments, saying, "It's a weeks' issue, not a season-long issue. It will definitely be the IR window, plus maybe a little bit more." Taylor said the team will replace Iosivas' production by committee, pointing to TE Mike Gesicki and the receiver room, while WR Ke'Shawn Williams, inactive the first two games, figures to be active against Pittsburgh. DT B.J. Hill (Achilles) is listed as wait-and-see after missing last Sunday's game.
| Footballguys view: The veteran quarterback played through a back issue in Week 2. Burrow completed 20-of-31 passes for 207 yards and two touchdowns in Cincinnati's 20-6, Week 2 win over the Texans. He was sacked five times, and the Bengals might want to clean that up to keep their superstar quarterback upright. |

Bengals | Chase catches 7 passes for 75 yards, two touchdowns in win over Texans Sun Sep 20, 01:00 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase caught 7 passes for 75 yards and two touchdowns on 9 targets in Sunday's 20-6 win over the Houston Texans. He was projected for 14.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.0.
| Footballguys view: Chase caught a 32-yard touchdown twisting at the pylon that has to be seen to be believed, and Joe Burrow created the other touchdown pass on an extended play in the red zone. The team was trying to get him involved early, and it paid off for them and fantasy teams. Chase's knee injury and Week 1 dud are getting small in the rearview mirror as the Bengals head to Pittsburgh in Week 3. |

Bengals | Zac Taylor 'feels good' about Burrow's status for Houston matchup Sat Sep 19, 04:14 PM
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said he "feels good" about QB Joe Burrow's availability heading into the Week 2 matchup against Houston. Burrow, who is officially listed as questionable, practiced fully on Friday, September 18, and is expected to play. The Bengals travel to Houston with lingering questions surrounding the roster.
| Footballguys view: Burrow called the idea of him missing Week 2 "ridiculous," and now Taylor backs up those sentiments. A back injury is something to keep an eye on, but it sounds like Burrow is good to go. He's a QB1 as per usual. |

Joe Burrow (back) a full participant on Friday, on track to play Fri Sep 18, 04:50 PM
After some limited practices early in the week, Joe Burrow returned as a full participant in Friday's practice and is set to start in Week 2.
| Footballguys view: There was an early-week scare when Burrow popped up on the injury report and wasn't throwing. All of those concerns can be laid to rest after a full practice on Friday. Burrow will have a tough matchup against the stout Texans defense, but the Bengals offense has no problem rising to the occasion against tough opponents. Burrow is a QB1 in this matchup. Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Chase Brown are all must-start options. |

Bengals | Back tightness for QB Burrow Wed Sep 16, 06:07 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow said he is dealing with "back tightness" ahead of Week 2 against the Texans.
| Footballguys view: Burrow got hit while going out of bounds, and he looked sore afterwards in Week 1. Reports indicate Burrow was very limited at practice on Wednesday. It's worth noting, but nothing to worry about yet as Burrow said the idea of him not playing in Week 2 is "ridiculous." |

Bengals | Gesicki leads passing game with five catches and a score Sun Sep 13, 07:57 PM
Bengals TE Mike Gesicki led the team with seven targets, five catches, 78 receiving yards and the team's only receiving touchdown in the 33-27 win over Tampa.
| Footballguys view: There was a lot of talk about Erick All being on the field a lot after he successful came back from his second ACL tear. His blocking ability was supposed to unlock the snaps with Joe Burrow under center running game. Instead, it was the pure receiving tight end Gesicki who starred in Week 1. He should be a waiver pickup for Week 2 with the Texans on tap next. |

Bengals | Burrow, Chase quiet for fantasy in 33-27 win Sun Sep 13, 07:51 PM
Joe Burrow completed 25 of 35 passes for 254 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He added 20 yards on five rush attempts. Ja'Marr only got targeted four times and converted them into two catches for 12 yards.
| Footballguys view: Chase Brown scored a rushing touchdown, the Bengals scored a defensive touchdown, and Evan McPherson kicked four field goals, so Burrow was only in on one score. Chase didn't look obviously hobbled, but he suffered a knee injury last week that considered minor after he was removed from the injury report. Chase and Burrow have a tough matchup against the Texans in Week 2, so don't expect a big bounceback. |

Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins 'good to go' Week 1 Fri Sep 11, 02:26 PM
Ben Baby of ESPN reports that Cincinnati head coach Zac Taylor said Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are "good to go" in Week 1 against Tampa Bay.
| Footballguys view: We heard early in the week that Chase and Higgins should both be good to go, and they followed up with a week of full participation in practices. Chase went down with an awkward knee injury a couple of weeks ago, and Higgins has been dealing with a bruised heel. But with both cleared to play, Chase slots in as a top-three receiver in Week 1 rankings, and Higgins will operate as a big-play WR2. |

Bengals | Chase, Higgins on track to play in Week 1 Wed Sep 9, 02:33 PM
The Cincinnati Bengals expect to have both of their top wide receivers on the field against the Buccaneers in Week 1. Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins returned to practice on Monday, and head coach Zac Taylor told reporters at a Wednesday press conference that both players are on track to play. Chase missed time with a hyperextended knee while Higgins has been dealing with a heel injury. "Yes. They'll continue to do more and more every day, but I like the pace that they're on right now," Taylor said.
| Footballguys view: Great news for the Bengals here as they kick off their season against the Buccaneers. That should be a high-scoring game, so Higgins should be able to produce near-WR1 numbers for Fantasy GMs who start him this week. |

Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins back on the practice field Mon Sep 7, 02:53 PM
All is well in Cincinnati: Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are back at practice today as the team begins prep for Tampa Bay.
| Footballguys view: Chase hyperextended his knee during a practice two weeks ago, and Higgins missed time late last week dealing with a heel contusion. Head coach Zac Taylor said late last week that both wideouts would be limited participants in practice throughout the week, but expressed no concern about their chances of missing the team's Week 1 game against the Buccaneers. That said, we'll continue to watch for more. |

Bengals | Burrow: Chase Brown will be a big factor this year Sun Sep 6, 02:25 AM
For all the money the Cincinnati Bengals have spent on quarterback Joe Burrow and the passing attack, it can be easy to overlook running back Chase Brown. But Burrow can't be lumped into that group. "Obviously we're going to get the ball in (wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase)'s hands as many times as we can," Burrow said in late July. "But I think a close second is Chase Brown just because of how explosive he is and the things he can do with the ball in his hands."
| Footballguys view: Fantasy drafters noticed Brown putting up fantasy first-round pick numbers once Burrow returned from injury last year, pushing Brown up into the first half of the second round of drafts. If we had heard this earlier in the summer, Brown might have gotten into the first round, and we won't talk you out of taking him in the late first if you haven't drafted yet. |

Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins limited in practice; on track for Week 1 Tue Sep 1, 03:21 PM
The Bengals are practicing without their top two wideouts on Tuesday. Reporters at the team's workout shared that neither Ja'Marr Chase nor Tee Higgins is participating. Chase hyperextended his knee during a practice last week, and Higgins is dealing with a heel contusion.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Zac Taylor said at a pre-practice press conference that both wideouts will be limited participants in practice throughout the week, but expressed no concern about their chances of missing the team's Week 1 game against the Buccaneers. Even with the optimistic outlook, fantasy managers need to have these issues on their radar heading into Week 1. |

Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Aug. 26, because of his knee injury.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here after Tuesday's hyperextension scare with Chase. After the injury, Chase was not getting extra treatment but was instead stretching on the sidelines. It was a frightening news item, but it seems like any major crisis has been averted. |

Bengals | Dohnte Meyers pushing for roster spot Tue Aug 25, 11:31 PM

Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase says 'he's good' following him leaving practice on Tuesday, Aug. 25, following a fall in practice.
| Footballguys view: Chase landed awkwardly while trying to catch a pass and limped off the field without assistance from the medical staff. Chase spoke to trainers, but never left the field. Chase said on 1530 ESPN that he felt he could have returned to practice, but the team "pulled me" out of caution. "A little hyperextension, but other than that I'm fine," Chase said. As ProFootballTalk.com suggested, the Bengals' caution could extend to limiting Chase's practice time in the coming days, but it does not sound like there's much reason to worry about his availability for the start of the regular season. |

Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase leaves practice Tue Aug 25, 03:01 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase left practice early on Tuesday, Aug. 25, with an apparent injury after landing awkwardly.
| Footballguys view: Video of Chase landing awkwardly while trying to catch a pass and then limping off the field was all over social media on Tuesday afternoon. Fortunately, further reports from the practice field diminished immediate fears. Chase did not go to the locker room after making his way off the field and did not appear to be in pain as he spoke to his teammates on the sideline. We're still tracking the situation, but it looks like the Bengals dodged a bullet with their top receiver. |

Bengals | Short night for Joe Burrow Fri Aug 14, 11:20 AM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow completed five of his six passes for 39 yards against the Detroit Lions in the preseason Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Burrow's first snap under center produced an easy 16 yard gain on a dig route to Ja'Marr Chase, but later in the drive he was sacked. It was a mixed bag for the Bengals offense's first foray into a more traditional mode, but even a mere attempt to improve and diversify should be good for Burrow and company. |

Bengals | Andrei Iosivas tightening his grip on No. 3 receiver spot Tue Aug 4, 12:58 AM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Andrei Iosivas has had a 'strong start to training camp,' per ESPN's Ben Baby, who adds that Iosivas should 'settle into the role' of WR3 whenever the Bengals utilize a three-receiver formation.
| Footballguys view: While Iosivas is the projected No. 3, fourth-round pick Colbie Young is among the group trying to earn snaps with the first-team offense. Iosivas had a down 2025 season after a very productive flourish early in his career. Only two of his 12 total touchdowns came in 2025. Even assuming he earns that No. 3 role, opportunities behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins will be minimal, and Iosivas should not be on your draft radar. |

Bengals | Tahj Brooks expected to have limited role Sun Jul 19, 06:08 PM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Tahj Brooks is expected to play mainly on special teams in 2026.
| Footballguys view: The 2025 sixth round pick has failed to generate any buzz so far in his time with the Bengals. If injuries put the team in a position to have to depend on Brooks, it's not clear that they would trust him over a street free agent or in-season trade acquisition. |

Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase the best at big plays Thu Jul 16, 12:35 AM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase's 19 touchdowns of 40-plus yards since 2021 are six more than any other player during that span.
| Footballguys view: This isn't a surprise. Chase's 6,837 receiving yards are the second most by any player within his first five seasons in NFL history, trailing only former LSU teammate Justin Jefferson. His 29 receptions against press coverage topped the NFL in 2025, highlighting his response when challenged at the line. Chase has finished four of his five NFL campaigns no lower than fifth in fantasy points per game -- the exception was 11th in 2023. Of course, Joe Burrow was limited to 10 games that season. Chase's WR1 ADP is hard to argue against. |
