Summary

Quarterback Rank: #54
Overall: #285

Gradkowski played two games, serving as the top backup to rookie Andy Dalton much of the season. He completed 8-of-18 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown with an interception. Gradkowski had 150-plus pass attempts each of the previous two seasons before this past year. He remains backup material more than anything but is a solid backup because of his starting experience and 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. 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 29.

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.

Notes

2011-09-13 21:13:02

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.

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.

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.

2011-08-13 01:23:00

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.

2011-07-28 00:33:03

Cincinnati Bengals QB Bruce Gradkowski provides the Bengals with a veteran quarterback to help mentor rookie QB Andy Dalton. Gradkowski has experience with offensive coordinator Jay Gruden, as the two spent time together with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bengals will enter training camp with Dalton, Gradkowski, Jordan Palmer and Dan LeFevour at quarterback, which marks the first time since 2008 they've entered camp with more than three quarterbacks.

2011-07-27 16:43:03

The Cincinnati Bengals have agreed to terms with free-agent QB Bruce Gradkowski (Raiders) on a two-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Fantasy Impact: He'll serve as competition for Andy Dalton for the starter's job in Cincinnati.

The Cincinnati Bengals are looking for a veteran quarterback, and it is believed they have interest in unrestricted free-agent QB Bruce Gradkowski. He has ties to Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden from their time together with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact: You would think they would try to do better than Gradkowski, but he seems their choice right now to compete with rookie Andy Dalton.

2011-06-23 03:03:04

The Cincinnati Bengals might be interested in bringing in QB Bruce Gradkowski to compete with rookie QB Andy Dalton. He has ties to new offensive coordinator Jay Gruden already, and the team will need a veteran if QB Carson Palmer elects to retire.

Fantasy Impact: Not a bad move but Gradkowski hasn't been great in a starting role when given the chance.
