Summary

Quarterback Rank: #61All Players: #379

Gradkowski got playing time the last game of the season with the Bengals playing for nothing. He was 5-of-11 for 65 yards in that game. He continues to serve as the top backup for Bengals and fits that role pretty well. Gradkowski has starting experience but limited success in a starting role. Accuracy has plagued Gradkowski throughout his career. His career high completion percentage is 55 and his career percentage is 53 percent. Gradkowski has a knack for making plays, though, which is why he is a solid NFL backup. He can provide a lift in a pinch. He should be the top backup for the Steelers this season, playing behind Ben Roethlisberger. Gradkowski has a decent arm and runs pretty well for a quarterback (100-plus rushing yards two seasons). He does have some accuracy issues, though, as noted. He'll need to improve his accuracy issues if he ever hopes to be an every-week NFL starter, which isn't likely at age 30.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Gradkowski is a reach even in a starting role. His production is up and down. He might be worth a spot start in a pinch if he is in the starting lineup, but don't expect big numbers. He also has some past injury issues, which is a concern if forced into a starting role.

The Minnesota Vikings could show interest in Buffalo Bills impending free-agent QB Tyler Thigpen, Miami Dolphins impending free-agent QB Matt Moore and Cincinnati Bengals impending free-agent QB Bruce Gradkowski once free agency begins because they will be looking for a No. 2 quarterback.

Sep 13 09:13 pm

Cincinnati Bengals QB Bruce Gradkowski might get the starting nod in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos with QB Andy Dalton (wrist) recovering from a Week 1 injury. Gradkowski engineered a 27-17 comeback win against the Cleveland Browns in the opener.
Fantasy Impact: Even if he starts, Gradkowski isn't worth using for fantasy teams. He is a risk.

Aug 26 01:33 pm

The Cincinnati Bengals played just two quarterbacks -- Andy Dalton and Bruce Gradkowski -- Thursday, Aug. 25, in their third preseason game. It appears the team is considering entering the season with just two quarterbacks on roster. Backup QB Jordan Palmer appears to be the odd man out if they do keep three, as he has not played in the past two preseason games. QB Dan LeFevour would likely be the third option if the Bengals choose to retain three signal callers.

Aug 21 11:33 pm

Cincinnati Bengals QB Bruce Gradkowski had a chance to make strides toward the starting job Sunday, Aug. 21, against the New York Jets, but he managed to complete just three of his seven attempts for 50 yards, and he was also picked off once.
Fantasy Impact: It still looks like Andy Dalton will be the starter to open the season for the Bengals.

Aug 13 01:23 am

Cincinnati Bengals QB Bruce Gradkowski made his team debut in the second half Friday, Aug. 12, in the preseason opener against the Detroit Lions. Gradkowski completed 6-for-11 passes for 58 yards. Gradkowski is currently listed No. 2 on the team's depth chart, but it's no guarantee he won't be the starter against the Cleveland Browns Sept. 11 in the regular season opener.
Fantasy Impact: He did little to show he should be the starter over rookie Andy Dalton.
