Bengals | Joe Flacco not thinking retirement Tue Jan 6, 12:47 AM
Cincinnati Bengals impending free-agent QB Joe Flacco said he is not considering retirement and hopes to play again next season.
| Footballguys view: James Rapien of BengalsTalk.com reports that Flacco is open to returning to the Bengals, as long as the circumstances are right. He might want a chance to compete for a starting job with a team like the Dolphins, Cardinals, or Jets. Flacco went 1-5 for the Bengals, but he had 1,664 passing yards with 13 touchdowns and four interceptions. The Bengals being able to bring him back on a one-year deal to back up Joe Burrow would be the best-case scenario. Availability hasn't been Burrow's strength. Having Flacco ready to start a few weeks would be ideal for the Bengals. |

Bengals | CIN keeping HC and GM Mon Jan 5, 10:33 AM
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor and general manager Duke Tobin will return in 2026.
| Footballguys view: The Bengals missed the playoffs for the third straight season as franchise quarterback Joe Burrow missed nine games with turf toe, finishing 6-11. In seven seasons, Taylor has had two playoff appearances (2021, 2022) and is the only coach in franchise history to make multiple appearances in the conference championship game. With 116 games, he's the third-longest-tenured coach in franchise history. In seven years, Taylor has an overall record of 52-63-1 during the regular season and 5-2 in the postseason. Reports have suggested Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins all advocated for Taylor's return. |

Bengals | Tee Higgins secures TD in Week 18 Sun Jan 4, 05:08 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins ended up with six receptions for 67 yards and a touchdown on nine targets in Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns.
| Footballguys view: Higgins underperformed his fantasy draft cost, but more because of injuries than any overestimation of the value of the intersection of his talent and situation. He'll likely be undervalued in fantasy drafts and dynasty leagues this offseason. |

Bengals | Chase Brown ends season on high note Sun Jan 4, 04:53 PM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown rushed 13 times for 72 yards in Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns, while adding four receptions for 18 yards and a touchdown on his six targets.
| Footballguys view: Brown was a top five running back in PPR leagues when Joe Burrow started even though Samaje Perine got more snaps and touches than anyone expected when Brown was going near the 2-3 turn of fantasy drafts this summer. He should go higher in 2026 drafts, but may still be a value pick in second round. |

Bengals | Joe Burrow finishes with three touchdowns Sun Jan 4, 04:50 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow completed 29-of-39 passes for 236 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in the Week 18 game against the Cleveland Browns, while running for 17 yards on two attempts.
| Footballguys view: This was one of Burrow's better games against the Browns stout defense, and it would have been more than enough to win if Cleveland hadn't scored two defensive touchdowns, including one on a Burrow interception. This season reinforced both that Burrow is one of the elite quarterbacks in both NFL and fantasy terms, and that he is more likely to suffer significant injuries than his peers. |

Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown (illness) will play in Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns.

Bengals | Joe Burrow will play in finale Mon Dec 29, 11:29 AM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow will start in the Week 18 season finale against the Cleveland Browns.
| Footballguys view: Bengals head coach Zac Taylor confirmed the news, telling reporters that Burrow gives the team the best chance to win. Burrow missed most of this season with a toe injury before returning to lead the team to a win on Thanksgiving. He played one of the worst games of his career two weeks later, but has rebounded with 614 yards and six touchdowns in back-to-back wins in the last two games to give the Bengals a chance to finish the season with a three-game win streak. It's not much, but it's a positive note to build on. |

Bengals | Tee Higgins finishes with 59 yards Sun Dec 28, 05:20 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught four passes for 59 yards against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17. He was targeted five times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Higgins wasn't a big Week 17 hit, but he was still able to rally to stay on the field the last two weeks after suffering two concussions in three weeks leading into Week 16. He could be in a for a big bounceback season next year if he and Joe Burrow can stay healthy. |

Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase catches two TD passes Sun Dec 28, 05:17 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase caught seven passes for 60 yards and two touchdowns against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17. He was targeted nine times during the game.
| Footballguys view: It was rough for a bit with Jake Browning, but Chase mostly performed like a player worthy of the #1 overall pick in fantasy drafts this season. He certainly came through in Week 17 and should fall no farther than the #2 pick in 2026 fantasy drafts. |

Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown rushed for 101 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17. He also caught three passes for 40 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: We throw the term "league winner" around a lot, but Brown's last two weeks may well have been responsible for the margin of victory in your fantasy championship. Samaje Perine returned to the team in the offseason and played a larger role in the backfield than anyone anticipated, but if you targeted Brown in fantasy drafts because of the significant upside that comes with leading a backfield in a Joe Burrow offense. |

Bengals | Joe Burrow surpasses 300-yard mark Sun Dec 28, 04:49 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow went 24-for-31 for 305 yards and two touchdowns against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17. He also rushed for two yards on three carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: It certainly was not a successful season for Burrow or the Bengals, but the last two weeks showed us an offense that effortlessly moved the ball against NFL defenses, turning the scoreboard into a pinball machine. It was reported before the game that teams will call the Bengals about Burrow in the offseason after it appeared that he was disgruntled earlier this month. There's probably only a very small chance that he would get dealt in the offseason, but never say never. |

Link to story Bengals | Multiple teams interested in Joe Burrow Sun Dec 28, 12:38 PM
Several NFL teams are likely to pursue a trade for Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow during the offseason, according to multiple sources. Burrow voiced frustration with losing earlier this month but plans to remain in Cincinnati and the Bengals have not shown any desire to trade him.
| Footballguys view: Normally we would say that there is zero chance a quarterback of Burrow's caliber would be traded, but this is the Bengals. The reality is that having Burrow creates urgency for the frugal organization to spend to increase their chances of winning the Super Bowl while they have one of the best quarterbacks in the game. That this is even being reported is a sign that the chance of a Burrow isn't zero, even if it is very small. |

Bengals | Tee Higgins catches TD pass Sun Dec 21, 04:24 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught three passes for 53 yards and one touchdown against the Miami Dolphins in Week 16. He was targeted three times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Higgins had two catches including the touchdown on an early drive and then was barely heard from for the rest of the afternoon even though the Bengals put 45 points on the board against the hapless Dolphins defense. It was still good enough on a very unpredictable day of fantasy outcomes for teams that weren't even sure they would have Higgins this week after he suffered two concussions in a three-week span from Weeks 13-15. He'll be a high ceiling WR1 against the Cardinals next week. |
