• Bengals' Joe Burrow: Working under center more

  30D ago • By RotoWire

  The Bengals are spending more time working on their under-center offense more this offseason, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. The Bengals have been slow to adapt the growing trend in the NFL of working under center, and using more play-action from that set-up to initiate explosive plays. It's always been Burrow's preference to work out of the shotgun and survey the field, but the evidence suggests that the Bengals, while being successful in that format, are leaving explosive plays on the table as a result.

• Bengals' Joe Burrow: Agrees to contract restructure

  06/09/2026 • By RotoWire

  Burrow agreed to a restructured contract Tuesday, creating $10 million in cap space for the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Burrow very likely converted a sizable chunk of his $25.25 million salary for 2026 into a bonus. The two-time Comeback Player of the Year has four years remaining on his current five-year, $275 million deal and is tied with a handful of other quarterbacks for second in AAV at $55 million a season, behind Dak Prescott's $60 million per year. Burrow has missed a combined 16 games to injuries over the past three seasons, but during a 2024 season in which he started all 17 regular-season contests, he led the NFL in passing yards (4,918) and passing touchdowns (43).

• Bengals' Joe Burrow: Continuity on O, more help on D

  05/08/2026 • By RotoWire

  Burrow was present for the start of Cincinnati's voluntary offseason workouts Thursday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports. Burrow was limited to eight appearances in 2025 due to a toe injury, but he's healthy at the start of team activities heading into the 2026 season and hoping to lead the Bengals back to the playoffs for the first time since the 2022 campaign. Cincinnati took steps toward accomplishing that goal by bolstering its defensive personnel in the offseason, most notably trading for star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence. Burrow still has plenty to work with on offense, with the team returning wideouts Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Andrei Iosivas, running back Chase Brown and tight end Mike Gesicki.

• Bengals' Joe Burrow: Tosses three TDs in Week 18 loss

  01/04/2026 • By RotoWire

  Burrow completed 29 of 39 passes for 236 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 20-18 loss to the Browns. He added 17 rushing yards on two carries. The star quarterback hit all his biggest targets -- Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Chase Brown -- for scores, but Evan McPherson had a rough day, getting one PAT blocked and missing his second before the Bengals failed to convert a two-point attempt on their final TD. Burrow wraps up a tough 2025 season with a 17:5 TD:INT in only eight games, the second time in the last three years he's missed significant time due to injuries.

• Bengals' Joe Burrow: Confirmed starter for Week 18

  12/29/2025 • By RotoWire

  Coach Zac Taylor confirmed Monday that Burrow will start next Sunday's regular-season finale against the Browns, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports. Neither the Bengals nor Browns have anything to play for besides pride and personal statistics, so there was a small chance Burrow could sit for Week 18. However, the Bengals are trying to end the season on a high note after beating the Dolphins and Cardinals in Weeks 16 and 17, respectively. Since returning to the field in Week 13, Burrow is fantasy's overall QB5 with a pair of 300-yard passing games and a 12:4 TD:INT.
