    The Cincinnati Enquirer’s Kelsey Conway reports that Bengals QB Joe Burrow skipped team stretches and does not appear to be participating in throwing drills.

    Burrow is seemingly set for a limited session on Wednesday. He is not wearing pads and is reportedly “doing handoffs in a helmet and jersey.” This could simply be a planned load management day. Burrow will speak to the media after practice, so we could get an update later today. Bengals coach Zac Taylor said earlier this week that his team suffered no major injuries, so there is no reason to worry at this time.

    After throwing for just 55 scoreless yards in the first half, Burrow and the Bengals came out firing on all cylinders in the second half. Trailing 13-0 at halftime, Burrow immediately orchestrated a nine-play, 66-yard drive that ended with a six-yard touchdown pass to Mike Gesicki, and followed that up with four more touchdown drives on his team’s next four possessions to jump out to a 35-13 lead. Burrow was as sharp as could be in the second half, completing 16-of-18 attempts while also completing two passes of 20-plus air yards. Burrow has now thrown four touchdowns in back-to-back games and has four multi-touchdown games this season. He’ll be on the QB1 radar next week when the Bengals play host to the Titans.
  • CIN Quarterback #9
    The Bengals offense mostly had a smooth-sailing day against the lackadaisical Dolphins defense. After a high-volume Week 4, Burrow threw 32 passes, tossing touchdowns to Mike Gesicki, Samaje Perine, and Tanner Hudson in the first half. He just missed Ja’Marr Chase for a 70-yard score in the second half, but later connected with Chase for a 45-yard score in the third quarter. Burrow was hardly under pressure and had plenty of time to make accurate throws and take deep shots against Miami. He is a fantasy QB1 heading into the Bengals’ bye and gets a middling defense in the Ravens for Week 7.
  • CIN Quarterback #9
    The Bengals offense struggled to finish drives for much of this game, with Burrow throwing his first touchdown to Mike Gesicki in the third quarter. He also added a rushing touchdown on a fourth-quarter quarterback sneak. Ja’Marr Chase (concussion) leaving early didn’t help as Burrow threw two interceptions and nearly had a third. He threw one to Travis Hunter in the first quarter, though it was nullified by a roughing the passer penalty. He later threw one with under two minutes left in the first half, leading to a Jaguars score the other way. The final interception came in the fourth quarter in the red zone, ending a promising drive. Burrow made great plays under pressure, often finding Tee Higgins downfield. However, the interceptions proved to be back-breaking and the Bengals’ comeback attempt ultimately fell short. Burrow is a low-end fantasy QB1 for Week 5 against a soft Dolphins defense.
  • CIN Quarterback #9
    Burrow came out hot in this one, completing his first 14 passes while throwing a three-yard touchdown to Ja’Marr Chase on the Bengals’ opening drive. Burrow would throw his second touchdown of the day late in the second half when he connected with Tee Higgins for a 28-yard score and found Mike Gesicki 25 yards downfield on a fourth-and-two for his third touchdown of the day. Burrow led his offense on multiple long drives in this one, but with his team trailing 30-27 and driving late in the fourth quarter, he would cough up the ball on a strip-sack, which was recovered by Pittsburgh to seal the win for the Steelers. Burrow has attempted 30-plus passes in every game this season while throwing for six touchdowns to just one interception. He’ll be on the QB1 radar for next week’s game against the Jaguars.
  • CIN Quarterback #9
    Burrow was under pressure quite a bit in this one, as he took five sacks, but the Bengals were able to establish enough of a lead on a few incredible out-of-structure plays by Burrow that they took the air out of the ball in the middle of the third quarter. Both touchdown passes were to Ja’Marr Chase, the second as Burrow drifted out of his pocket to the right. It’s full-steam ahead in the QB1 tiers as Burrow heads to Pittsburgh in Week 3.
  • CIN Quarterback #9
    It never seemed like there was a real chance Burrow would miss this game, even after Josh Johnson was elevated from the practice squad yesterday. Burrow will be on the QB1 line against a Texans defense looking to rebound. Inactive for the Bengals are: Johnson, WR Ke’Shawn Williams, CB Josh Newton, C Connor Lew, OL Myles Hinton, DT B.J. Hill (Achilles), and DT Landon Robinson.
  • CIN Quarterback #9
    The Bengals called up Josh Johnson from the practice squad over the weekend, raising some eyebrows regarding Burrow’s health. The move, however, was purely a precaution. Burrow has already said he is playing this week. He remains near the top of the QB1 ranks despite a tough matchup with the Houston defense.
  • CIN Quarterback #9
    This listing is effectively a formality. Burrow laughed off the idea of missing the Bengals’ game against the Texans earlier this week, and today, coach Zac Taylor said Burrow is “good to go” after practicing in full. Burrow’s status is, of course, worth following, but we do expect him to play. Treat him as a QB1, per usual.
  • CIN Quarterback #9
    Burrow was upgraded to a full participant in Friday’s practice and is good to go for Sunday’s game, per head coach Zac Taylor. Burrow was limited in the first two practices of the week due to back tightness, but that was likely more out of precaution than it was due to anything serious. Burrow profiles as a high-end QB1 against the Texans.
  • CIN Quarterback #9
    Burrow has been limited in each of the team’s first two practices, likely because the Bengals are exercising caution with their QB1. With one more practice to go before the Bengals release their final injury report, it sounds like there is no real concern about Burrow’s availability for Week 2 against a Texans defense looking to rebound from a tough season opener in which they allowed 36 points to the Bills. We will be sure to provide a final status for Burrow once the team announces it.

    49ers general manager John Lynch said the team would continue starting Eddy Pineiro after the team’s Week 7 bye.

    Lynch in a Tuesday interview acknowledged Pineiro is “going through a rough patch” but committed to sticking with him for now. “We have a lot of belief in Eddie,” Lynch added. “He has had a tough run early this year, but we extended Eddie for his body of work with us but then throughout the history of his career.” Pineiro has missed three of his nine field goal tries on the season and four of his 25 extra point attempts. Pineiro, who made 96 percent of his field goal tries in 2025, will have at least a couple more games before the Niners brings in kicker competition.

    Seahawks acquired Quenten Nelson from the Colts in exchange for a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick.

    With the Colts’ season all but over, the team could trade away a series of key player as they look toward a total tear down/rebuild scenario following the 2026 season. That includes Nelson, an eight-time Pro Bowler who now has a chance to compete for a title now that he’s out of Indianapolis. Nelson will join a Seattle offensive line that ranks 21st in pass blocking win rate and 27th in run blocking win rate. His addition should be a boon for Sam Darnold and the Seahawks’ pass catchers.

    The Athletic’s Alec Lewis believes Kyler Murray is still “acclimating to the [Vikings’] progression-based passing game.”

    Minnesota’s offensive ineptitude has reached stunning levels in recent weeks, including last Sunday against the Colts, when Murray had 150 yards and a touchdown while completing 58 percent of his pass attempts. “We’ll continue to get better,” Murray said Sunday night. “I know we will. I know we keep saying that, but I felt like we moved the ball well (against the Colts). We’ve just got to put the ball in the end zone.” The Vikings, who rank 25th in pass rate over expected this season, have operated conservatively on offense while their defense dismantles opponents week in and week out. As Lewis pointed out, the 2026 Vikings are the first team in a century to win five straight games with five or fewer TDs over that span. Murray through Week 7 ranks 28th out of 40 qualifying QBs in EPA per pass attempt and 33rd in fantasy points per drop back.

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Vega Ioane suffered an MCL injury and will miss time.

    Ioane went down with a knee injury on Sunday against the Bengals and did not return to the game. Though Rapoport said the injury is not considered long term, Ioane — an impressive rookie — will be sidelined for a while. Baltimore’s offensive line ranks 20th in pass block win rate and 19th in run block win rate, according to ESPN.

    Dallas Goedert caught 5-of-7 targets for 48 yards in the Eagles’ Week 7 loss to the Cowboys.

    Goedert has now returned consecutive games of middling production with Tanner McKee under center, which is a somewhat troubling realization considering DeVonta Smith missed both games and Dontayvion Wicks departed Week 6 with an injury before missing Week 7. Goedert’s fantasy value appears strictly tied to the state of a sinking Philadelphia ball club, now fighting through declining quarterback play in addition to poor offensive structure and shoddy play calling. Fantasy managers are likely forced to endure the middling production for lack of better options.

    Makai Lemon caught 7-of-8 targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles’ Week 7 loss to the Cowboys.

    Lemon showed out with the best game of his career in the absence of both DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks, operating as the top option through the air throughout the game against the Cowboys. He started his night off with a 21-yard reception on the team’s first possession before adding a fourth quarter touchdown on a quick slant from four yards out. The uncertainty surrounding Smith’s injury could leave Lemon as the de facto lead receiver for a Week 8 divisional tilt against the Commanders, where his fantasy value will be strictly tied to the availability of the other receivers on the roster.

    Tanner McKee completed 23-of-35 passes for 211 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Eagles’ 38-21, Week 7 loss to the Cowboys, adding one yard on one carry.

    McKee looked to be comfortable in the pocket to start but things quickly unravelled, with the veteran backup unable to improve upon a 21-yard completion to rookie Makai Lemon in the first quarter as he remained incapable of attacking downfield. Lemon would also be the recipient of McKee’s lone touchdown toss, marking the second consecutive start with just one touchdown pass in relief of Jalen Hurts. The offense looked far more functional while Saquon Barkley was on the field, but the veteran back was in and out of the lineup from the second quarter through the fourth, before ultimately being deemed questionable to return and missing the final frame. The Eagles drop their fifth straight for the first time since 2016 as they fall further behind the Giants for the division lead. McKee is not worth rostering ahead of a Week 8 divisional tilt against the Commanders.

    Jake Ferguson failed to catch his lone target in the Cowboys’ Week 7 win over the Eagles.

    Ferguson has almost entirely fallen out of favor in the Dallas offense. He has yet to catch more than four balls, clear 43 yards, or see more than six targets in a game this season, leaving his fantasy value in the dumps when he’s held out of the end zone. Ferguson will be a difficult start despite a glowing matchup against the Cardinals in Week 8.

    Ryan Flournoy caught all four targets for 70 yards in the Cowboys’ Week 7 win over the Eagles.

    Flournoy is not typically going to see elite volume while playing alongside two true alphas in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, but he continues to outproduce tight end Jake Ferguson as the preferred third option through the air. His big play potential showed against the Eagles as he caught a 35-yard dime early. Flournoy is, at minimum, worthy of a bench spot and could work his way into viable FLEX territory with another solid outing against the downtrodden Cardinals in Week 8.
