    Joe Burrow completed 39-of-54 passes for 428 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in the Bengals’ 22-17, Week 4 loss to the Jaguars.

    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.

    Burrow and the Bengals passing offense started off slow, ending the first quarter scoreless. A first quarter interception from Burrow in Titans territory led to a Tennessee score the other way. He finished the half on a better note, tossing a 30-yard touchdown to Ja’Marr Chase and a one-yard score to Jack Endries. The second half saw many more possessions between both teams, with Burrow throwing two more interceptions to give the Titans increased opportunities. He was able to lead several scoring drives regardless, tossing three touchdowns in the second half and scrambling for the go-ahead touchdown in overtime. A high-scoring game script leads to very productive days for Burrow and the Bengals offense. Burrow profiles as a fantasy QB1 once again for Week 9 against the Falcons.
  • CIN Quarterback #9
    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
    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.

    AJ Barner caught 2-of-5 targets for 23 yards in the Seahawks’ Week 8 loss to the Bears.

    Barner is far from fantasy consideration having only one game through eight appearances with more than a modest five targets while failing to notch a single receiving touchdown. Fantasy managers can safely return him to the waiver wire in all formats.

    Tory Horton caught 3-of-6 targets for 26 yards in the Seahawks’ Week 8 loss to the Bears.

    Horton took more massive hits than he had receptions in this one, with Sam Darnold placing him in harms way on more than one occasion. He was already fighting through nagging injuries entering the contest but gave it a go with Rashid Shaheed ruled out, with this game likely doing nothing to help him in that regard. Despite finishing second on the team in receiving behind alpha Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Horton is not a startable fantasy asset ahead of a Week 9 meeting with the division rival Cardinals.

    Cooper Kupp caught 1-of-3 targets for seven yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks’ Week 8 loss to the Bears.

    Kupp was unable to take advantage of the absence of fellow receiver Rashid Shaheed but did cash in for his second touchdown of the season. Kupp’s days of consistent fantasy production are long behind him as the Seahawks head into a Week 9 divisional meeting against the Cardinals approaching must-win territory.

    Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught 6-of-11 targets for 118 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks’ Week 8 loss to the Bears.

    Smith-Njigba was the entire offense in the first half, accumulating 92 yards through the air while the rest of the offense managed only two, including his receiving touchdown. Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen made adjustments after the break that confined JSN to only 26 additional yards the rest of the way. Smith-Njigba now has seven 100-yard receiving games in eight appearances as he extended his league-leading yardage totals, clear and away the top overall wide receiver in fantasy circles. That position will not change ahead of a Week 9 meeting with the Cardinals.

    Zach Charbonnet rushed six times for 23 yards in the Seahawks’ Week 8 loss to the Bears, adding six yards on three receptions.

    Charbonnet drew the start but saw four fewer opportunities than rookie Jadarian Price, the latter of whom led the team in rush yards and touches. Expect the two to continue operating in a near-even timeshare moving forward, leaving Charbonnet in shaky FLEX territory ahead of a Week 9 meeting with the Cardinals.

    Jadarian Price rushed 10 times for 29 yards in the Seahawks’ Week 8 loss to the Bears, adding eight yards on two receptions.

    It was Zach Charbonnet that drew the start for the Seahawks in his first game since tearing his ACL last year, but it was the talented rookie that led the team in opportunities. Price was making his first appearance since hitting injure reserve with a chest injury suffered in Week 2, and while he led the team in yardage and carries, George Holani remained involved in clear passing situations and Charbonnet is liable to see his role continue to grow with each healthy game. Price will be a shaky FLEX option in a better matchup against the Cardinals in Week 9.

    Sam Darnold completed 17-of-34 passes for 188 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the Seahawks’ 34-17, Week 8 loss to the Bears, adding 20 yards on two receptions.

    Darnold really struggled through consistent pressure from Dennis Allen’s aggressive defensive front as the Seahawks gained just 252 yards of total offense. Things looked manageable in the first half while Darnold leans heavily on alpha wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, feeding his top option for 92 yards before the break. Allen’s second half adjustments all but removed JSN from the offense, holding him to just 26 yards after the break. Week 8 went down as only the third game of the 2026 season in which Darnold threw multiple touchdowns, leaving him outside QB2 range and on waiver wires ahead of a Week 9 meeting with the Cardinals.

    Kalif Raymond caught 2-of-3 targets for 14 yards in the Bears’ Week 8 win over the Seahawks, adding 39 yards on one carry.

    Raymond’s lone “carry” came on a third-and-long in the fourth quarter in a three-point game, with the play ruled a rush attempt following a slightly backwards toss on a quick swing pass to the perimeter. Raymond did the rest as he turned on the jets for a 39-yard gain to the five, which D’Andre Swift would punch in for the second of his three rushing scores on the evening. Raymond remains unlikely to match his early-season exploits but can be stashed in case of injury to Luther Burden, Rome Odunze, or Colston Loveland.

    Luther Burden caught 7-of-9 targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in the Bears’ Week 8 win over the Seahawks.

    Burden’s opening drive score was the first touchdown surrendered by the Seahawks on an opening possession in the previous 26 games, finishing tied with tight end Colston Loveland for the team lead in targets while catching the only passing score from quarterback Caleb Williams. He continues to operate as the team’s top option through the air in a role that is most malleable, which can either be concentrated on the short areas against zone or extended in the vertical against man. Burden is a WR2 in a pass-funnel matchup against the Buccaneers in Week 9.

    Colston Loveland caught 7-of-9 targets for 65 yards in the Bears’ Week 8 win over the Seahawks.

    Five of Loveland’s nine targets came on the team’s first drive as the Bears scored the first opening possession touchdown against the Seahawks in the previous 26 games. He would largely disappear until key receptions in the fourth quarter to extend drives, finishing the game tied with Luther Burden for the team lead in targets and second on the team in yards behind Rome Odunze. Loveland has shaken off an extremely slow start to the 2026 regular season with three consecutive games of at least six receptions and 65 yards. He’ll be a middling TE1 against the pass-funnel Buccaneers in Week 9.
