Cincinnati Bengals DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (leg) had another productive showing in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, there is concern surrounding the health of the oft-injured signal-caller, with Burrow spotted limping after the game. He reported he took a cleat early in the contest that "drew a good amount of blood." But Burrow couldn't provide an update on his condition, but says the team will "know more on Tuesday." He should be in line for further testing while also potentially missing practice time throughout the week. At the same time, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised to see Burrow carry a questionable designation heading into the Week 14 meeting with the Dallas Cowboys. If Burrow can't play, Jake Browning would take over under center. Unfortunately, Browning's presence may not be good news for Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and the rest of the Bengals' offense.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown ran for 70 yards and a touchdown off 12 carries in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. He also caught all three targets for 30 yards. The 24-year-old had another quality fantasy performance against a tough Steelers defense. Unfortunately, his efforts weren't enough to lead the Bengals to a much-needed win. With at least one trip to the end zone in seven of his last nine appearances, Brown has a chance to keep it going versus a Cowboys defense that has allowed 14 rushing touchdowns during the 2024-25 campaign, the worst in the National Football League.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 309 yards, three touchdowns, and one pick off 28-for-38 passing in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. He added two carries for nine yards. The Bengals offense knew they would have their hands full against a sound Pittsburgh defense. Despite that, Burrow had a productive showing, although the Bengals defense could stop the Steelers from putting up 44 points. With Cincinnati unlikely to earn a postseason berth, Burrow and company will look to get on track on Monday night versus the five-win Cowboys. The Dallas defense has struggled throughout the 2024-25 campaign, allowing a third-worst 28.3 points per game, meaning Burrow should be in line for another efficient outing.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers Charlie Jones (groin) and Trenton Irwin (coach's decision) are both inactive for Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jones had been listed as doubtful after being sidelined during practice on Friday, and he's now set to miss his fourth consecutive game. Meanwhile, Irwin had not been on the injury report but is a healthy scratch once again. As a result, Isaiah Williams and Jermaine Burton should earn additional snaps.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas began the season by amassing three scores in the first three weeks. As a result, some fantasy managers assumed this would be his breakout year. Unfortunately, the 25-year-old hasn't been a factor since the Bengals' Monday night loss to the Commanders in late September, catching only 10 passes in his previous eight appearances. Granted, he may have another score or two up his sleeve before the end of the 2024-25 campaign. But it will be difficult for Iosivas to get involved with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins on the field along with the increased involvement of Jermaine Burton. Keep him out of the starting lineup for Sunday's AFC North showdown versus the Steelers.
