Link to story Bengals | Joe Burrow needs surgery, out three months Mon Sep 15, 08:58 AM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow (toe) will require surgery on his turf toe injury and miss a minimum of three months.
| Footballguys view: Burrow was hurt in the second quarter of Sunday's 31-27 win over the Jaguars. Backup Jake Browning has proven capable in the past. On Sunday, he was 21-of-32 passing for 241 yards, with three total touchdowns (and three interceptions). Adding optimism for fantasy investors, Ja'Marr Chase came through with 14 catches for 158 yards and a touchdown, and Tee Higgins broke free on a 42-yard score in the third quarter with Browning at the helm. The hope is that Browning can continue to drive and keep their values high over the next three months, and possibly more. |

Bengals | Surgery, Three-Month Absence Possible For Joe Burrow Sun Sep 14, 09:10 PM
The Bengals could be without quarterback Joe Burrow for a while. Surgery is not off the table for Burrow's injured toe.
| Footballguys view: NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero are characterizing the injury as a "Grade 3" turf toe. Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reported that images of the toe are being sent to Dr. Robert Anderson for evaluation. If surgery is necessary, Burrow would be expected to miss three months with sources independently confirming that timetable to PFT's Mike Florio. The good news, if there is any, is that the Bengals are 2-0. And the consolation prize, if there is one, is that Jake Browning is a more than capable backup. He went 4-3 in seven starts in 2023, playing in place of Burrow. |

Bengals | Report: Joe Burrow has turf toe, torn ligaments; extended absence coming Sun Sep 14, 07:55 PM
Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow (toe) is believed to have turf toe, as well as torn ligaments, a source said Sunday, Sept. 14. He is likely to miss several weeks as a result.
| Footballguys view: Burrow had an MRI during the game, and while head coach Zac Taylor offered no updates, the Bengals surely know by now the extent of their quarterback's left toe injury. Reporters saw Burrow leave the locker room with a boot on his left foot and on crutches. The report adds that a multi-week absence is likely. Footballguys injury analyst Adam Hutchison added to that, suggesting a stint on IR is possible. While Burrow's injury is horrible news, having a competent backup in Jake Browning is a positive. We'll follow up as developments warrant. |

Bengals | Tee Higgins scores touchdown in Week 2 Sun Sep 14, 07:08 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins posted three receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
| Footballguys view: Higgins had two Jaguar defenders bounce off of him on his long touchdown catch and run to salvage a decent fantasy day. Jake Browning is bold with the football and can keep Higgins a viable WR3/Flex play, but there's no understating the impact of the loss of Joe Burrow for "several" weeks on this offense. |

Bengals | Big stat line for Ja'Marr Chase Sun Sep 14, 07:06 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase ended up with 14 receptions, 165 yards and a touchdown on 16 targets in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
| Footballguys view: Chase may prove to be the kind of receiver that transcends his quarterback play like Randy Moss or Justin Jefferson. It will be a great test of what his value will be without Joe Burrow next week against the team those receivers were drafted by - the Minnesota Vikings. |

Bengals | Chase Brown mostly stuck in neutral Sun Sep 14, 07:03 PM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown ran 16 times for just 47 yards in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, while adding two receptions for 18 yards on three targets.
| Footballguys view: Jake Browning vultured a touchdown or Brown would have been adequate for fantasy, but there's no sugarcoating what the loss of Joe Burrow will do to Brown's fantasy stock. Consider him a low ceiling RB2 against the Vikings next week. |

Bengals | Jake Browning throws for 241 yards, two TDs Sun Sep 14, 07:00 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Jake Browning completed 21-of-32 passes for 241 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, taking over for the injured QB Joe Burrow (toe). He also ran once for a 1-yard touchdown.
| Footballguys view: Browning will be a top priority on superflex waiver wires, but he's a boom/bust play in 1QB leagues, with a tough matchup against the Vikings next week. He showed he can support Ja'Marr Chase's value, but Browning also had multiple poor decisions that resulted in interceptions and will need to tighten up his play in Week 3. |

Bengals | Joe Burrow not putting weight on toe Sun Sep 14, 03:06 PM
Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow (toe) had an MRI Sunday, Sept. 14 during the Week 1 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars after suffering a toe injury in the first half. He was seen using a one-legged scooter to get back to the locker room with his left leg propped up as to not put any weight on the toe, according to beat writer Joe Danneman. QB Jake Browning remains under center for Cincinnati.
| Footballguys view: This is a blow for the Bengals offense for as long as Burrow is out, although Jake Browning is startable in superflex leagues, and it appears he knows how to feed Ja'Marr Chase. It is looking likely that Browning will start next week against the Vikings, but we'll have to wait for updates to know how much longer to expect him to start after that. |

Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase limited to two catches Sun Sep 7, 04:25 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase caught two passes for 26 yards against the Cleveland Browns in Week 1. He was targeted five times during the game.
| Footballguys view: No poor fantasy result from Week 1 hurt more than Chase's. He was the consensus #1 fantasy pick and barely made a dent in the box score. We'll have to keep him in the lineup no matter what - he and Burrow can make the most of small opportunity against less stout defenses than the Browns - but there's no way Chase would be drafted #1 if we picked our teams now. |

Bengals | Noah Fant catches TD pass Sun Sep 7, 04:24 PM
Cincinnati Bengals TE Noah Fant caught four passes for 26 yards and one touchdown against the Cleveland Browns in Week 1. He was targeted five times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Fant caught Joe Burrow's only touchdown and he was targeted more than Mike Gesicki. In fact, Fant tied Ja'Marr Chase for the team lead in targets. That could have been affected by the Browns making life hard for the downfield passing game, but Fant is still on our potential waiver wire pickup list with George Kittle and Brock Bowers not sure things for Week 2. |

Bengals | Tee Higgins finishes with 33 yards Sun Sep 7, 04:23 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught three passes for 33 yards against the Cleveland Browns in Week 1. He was targeted four times during the game.
| Footballguys view: The Bengals struggled in the second half on offense, and for the entire game on defense. They only won because of the Browns self-inflicted wounds in the kicking game. No Bengals offensive player came in near expectations, including Higgins. We'll give him another shot against the Jaguars next week, but with Vikings and Broncos up in Weeks 3 and 4, we'll have to consider benching him if Week 2 is another dud. |

Bengals | Chase Brown finds end zone Sun Sep 7, 04:08 PM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown rushed for 43 yards and one touchdown on 21 carries against the Cleveland Browns in Week 1. He caught two passes for eight yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Brown couldn't get anything going in the running game and wasn't used much in the passing game on a very poor afternoon for the Bengals offense. The Browns defense is good and deserves credit, but the Bengals defense had trouble getting off of the field against an anemic offense led by 40-year-old Joe Flacco, which gave the Bengals offense fewer drives to work with. Brown is still an everyweek fantasy starter, but this was a very discouraging game. |

Bengals | Joe Burrow held to 113 yards Sun Sep 7, 03:42 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow went 14-for-23 for 113 yards and one touchdown against the Cleveland Browns in Week 1.
| Footballguys view: The Browns defense is pretty good and they tend to limit Burrow's production. He also started slow against the Patriots last year. Still, this is positively anemic, and the culprit is actually the Bengals defense. The Browns offense is underwhelming and destined to be a bottom five unit, but they still possessed the ball for almost 36 minutes against Cincinnati. What are actual NFL offenses going to do against the Bengals defense? What will the Jaguars do against them next week? If the game script is similar to this one, it's time to get worried. |

Trey Hendrickson's contract situation is resolved. The star pass rusher will get a $14 million raise from the Cincinnati Bengals for this season, boosting his 2025 salary to $30 million, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday. Hendrickson is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent after this season.
| Footballguys view: Before receiving the raise, Hendrickson was set to earn $16 million this season. He had not participated in any offseason workouts, including the entirety of training camp, while seeking a new deal with the club. He has insisted that he would not play this season under the contract. Hendrickson, 30, is coming off his best season in the NFL. He had 17.5 sacks last season, which led the league. Hendrickson was also named to The Associated Press All-Pro team and reached the Pro Bowl for the fourth straight season. |
