Bengals | Myles Murphy enters prove-it season Sun May 24, 06:23 PM

Cincinnati Bengals DE Myles Murphy did not have his fifth-year option picked up, so he enters the final season of his rookie contract. He didn't see any starts until the 2025 season, when he made 10 starts. He was good for a career-high 52 tackles with 5.5 sacks and six tackles for loss. Heading into 2026, he could have a big season, as he works for a future contract shot with either the Bengals or another organization.

Bengals | Joe Burrow eyeing TD record Thu May 21, 11:17 AM

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow said he wants to break the franchise record for touchdowns this season. Burrow is 48 passing touchdowns away from the mark.

Footballguys view: Burrow had a career-high 43 touchdowns in 2024, so he'd have to go over his personal best to pass the franchise record in 2026. If Burrow stays healthy, pushing for over 45 passing touchdowns is well within reason. However, we've currently got Burrow projected at 36 passing touchdowns in our consensus rankings.

Bengals | Tee Higgins hopes to hit 1,000 yards Thu May 14, 01:09 PM

Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins said his goal is to record at least 1,000 receiving yards this upcoming season. He has not reached the number since the 2022 season.

Footballguys view: So long as QB Joe Burrow stays healthy, Higgins could easily hit that number. Fantasy GMs are excited about the Bengals' passing attack, as per usual, and Higgins is seen as a WR2 with upside.

Bengals | Tacario Davis signs rookie contract Wed May 13, 01:54 PM

Cincinnati Bengals CB Tacario Davis signed his rookie contract with the team on Wednesday, May 13. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Bengals | Four UDFAs officially signed Sat May 9, 01:43 PM

Updating previous reports, undrafted free-agent RB Kentrel Bullock (South Alabama), RB Jamal Haynes (Georgia Tech), TE Josh Kattus (Kentucky) and WR Noah Thomas (Georgia) signed with the Cincinnati Bengals Friday, May 8. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Haynes is a fire hydrant with quickness and speed who could unseat 2025 sixth round pick Tahj Brooks as the third string back. Brooks failed to impress last year, so his roster spot is vulnerable.

Bengals | Colbie Young signs rookie deal Sat May 9, 01:10 PM

Cincinnati Bengals fourth-round draft choice WR Colbie Young signed a four-year contract with the Bengals Friday, May 8. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Young's game is reminiscent of former Bengal Auden Tate, who played with Joe Burrow early in the quarterback's pro career. If Andrei Iosivas leaves in free agency next year, Young's huge catch radius and ball skills make him a good candidate to back up Tee Higgins, who has missed at least two games in each of the last three seasons.

Bengals | DeAndre Hopkins reiterates desire for Cincinnati Mon May 4, 12:43 AM

Free-agent WR DeAndre Hopkins (Ravens) said in an interview over the weekend that he remains interested in joining the Cincinnati Bengals in 2026. 'I think (Joe Burrow) is one of the best,' Hopkins said in a Saturday interview while attending the Kentucky Derby. 'I love his game, his toughness. He took his team to a Super Bowl early in his career and I feel like he can get back there with a little bit of help.'

Footballguys view: As SI.com suggested, Hopkins may not be the player he was earlier in his career. Still, he would be a solid third receiver to have behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and a more reliable option than Andrei Iosivas in the slot. That wouldn't make Hopkins fantasy relevant, but it would benefit Cincy's offense. Hopkins' versatility would allow the Bengals to continue moving Chase around on the field.
