Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was back in action after a 10-week absence, but he looked as strong as ever while throwing for 261 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Bengals to a Thanksgiving night win over the Ravens. Burrow looked sharp for the most part and moved around well, while delivering the ball accurately and avoiding any re-aggravation of his toe injury. He and the Bengals will have to win out to have a shot at the playoffs, but Joe Cool looks ready to resume his regular role as one of the top fantasy quarterbacks in the league. Burrow and the Bengals will battle the Bills in Buffalo this week before a rematch with the Ravens. He's a strong option for fantasy lineups, since he'll need to be aggressive, and the Bengals' defense has regularly put the offense in a place where it needs to put up plenty of points this season.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) made his return in Thursday's win over the Baltimore Ravens after being sidelined since the Week 2 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The signal-caller showed signs of rust, although he still finished the night by throwing for 261 yards and two touchdowns. Granted, Burrow had trouble completing some of his passes (24-for-46). Still, fantasy managers were pleased with the end result, especially since he hasn't played in over two months, doing so without Tee Higgins (concussion). With the Bengals desperately trying to keep their playoff hopes alive, the 2020 No. 1 overall pick should play better in the Week 14 meeting with the Bills, a team that has struggled on the defensive side of the ball of late.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) was activated from the Injured Reserve list and will suit up for an AFC North clash with Baltimore on Thanksgiving. The signal-caller had been on the shelf after suffering a toe injury in the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, resulting in surgery. Naturally, fantasy managers are glad to have him back in the lineup. However, there are still some concerns, considering Burrow threw for only 189 yards and two touchdowns while completing 58.3% of his attempts before going down. He'll also be returning versus the Ravens, winners of their last five contests, and doing so without Tee Higgins (concussion). Fortunately, Ja'Marr Chase will be back from his one-game suspension, which will certainly help make things easier. Chase Brown is also a capable pass-catcher out of the backfield, and Andrei Iosivas has been known to turn up the volume at times in his brief career. With that said, although Burrow may have some residual rust from the lengthy layoff, he can be plugged back into all fantasy formats in Week 13 against a Ravens defense that hasn't looked the best this season when facing a few of the top quarterbacks from around the National Football League.

The Cincinnati Bengals announced on Wednesday that they officially activated quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) from Injured Reserve, and he will make his return on Thursday against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens on Thanksgiving Day. Burrow has finally recovered from surgery to fix a turf-toe injury that he suffered in Week 2. The 28-year-old franchise QB was very close to returning last weekend, but he was held out of the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots. Cincy's offense will receive a big boost as they look to keep their faint playoff hopes alive. Burrow has been practicing in full and will take on a Ravens defense that has been much better of late as they have gotten healthier. He will be without receiver Tee Higgins (concussion), but All-Pro wideout Ja'Marr Chase is returning from a one-game suspension. Even with the long layoff, Burrow will be in play as at least a low-end QB1 option for fantasy managers in his return.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) said to the media on Tuesday that he will not sit if he's healthy enough to play. Burrow suffered a grade-three turf toe injury in Week 2 and underwent surgery to repair the ligament. With the Bengals' current situation and the unlikelihood of them making the postseason, some are speculating whether Burrow should return this season. However, Burrow shut down those conversations on Tuesday, stating, "I'm not going to live my life and play this game scared of something happening." Burrow is set to return in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens, which will be a must-win game for the Bengals. Burrow offers low-end QB1 value in Week 13, as he makes his highly anticipated return to the field.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) was listed as a full participant on Monday on the team's estimated injury report, according to Jay Morrison of SI.com. Burrow has not played since suffering a turf-toe injury in Week 2 that required surgery, but he returned to practice last week and is expected to start on Thursday for the Thanksgiving Day clash against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals haven't officially said that the 28-year-old will play in Week 13, but all signs are pointing in that direction. Even though Burrow could show some rust after his long layoff, he should immediately give Cincy's offense a boost over veteran Joe Flacco, although the matchup this Thursday won't be an easy one versus a Ravens defense that has tightened up the ship in recent weeks. Even without receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) in Week 13, Burrow will be a low-end QB1 option, at worst, in fantasy if he's active on Turkey Day, as expected.

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor told reports on Monday that the team expects quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) to play on Thursday in the Thanksgiving Day game against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens, although there hasn't been an official determination, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The 28-year-old has not played since Week 2 after having turf-toe surgery, but he practiced in full last week and is on the verge of returning this week. The Bengals won't make an official determination until probably Wednesday. Burrow's return will provide a huge boost to the Bengals' offense as they desperately try to get into playoff contention with time running out in the 2025 season. However, Burrow could be a bit rusty after his long layoff, and he'll be without top wideout Tee Higgins, who suffered a concussion in the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) is trending toward playing on Thanksgiving night against the Baltimore Ravens, per Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. Burrow and the Bengals reportedly met every day this week regarding his health and then decided on Friday to wait another week to give Joe Flacco enough practice reps with the starters. The 28-year-old pushed to play and didn't have any setbacks in practice this week, but the team's quick turnaround on Thursday night in Week 13 was a key part of the decision to hold him out. Burrow has been sidelined since Week 2 after undergoing surgery to repair his Grade 3 turf toe and looks set to return for a big divisional matchup against the Baltimore Ravens on Thanksgiving night. Flacco will have one more run as the Bengals starter and will rank as a high-end QB2 in a potential shootout against the Patriots on Sunday.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) won't be activated for Sunday's matchup against the New England Patriots, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The star quarterback will remain on injured reserve for the time being, with Joe Flacco set to make his sixth straight start for the Bengals. Burrow underwent surgery to repair his Grade 3 turf toe after getting injured during Cincinnati's Week 2 win over Jacksonville. While he is close to returning, he will likely need one more week to be cleared. Head coach Zac Taylor said that the 28-year-old "has done everything he can," after practicing in full on Wednesday and Thursday this week before being limited on Friday. Burrow said that he planned to return on Thanksgiving night against the Ravens, and we should know more about his status for that game early next week.

The Cincinnati Bengals have not made a final decision on whether quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) will play on Sunday against the New England Patriots, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Burrow was limited in practice on Friday and will officially be listed as questionable for Week 12. Both Burrow and Joe Flacco (shoulder) got reps in practice on Friday. "He's done everything he can," Taylor said about Burrow. The 28-year-old Burrow is still on Injured Reserve, so we should have an answer by Saturday as to whether the Bengals plan to start him this weekend. Flacco continues to deal with an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, but if Cincy decides to hold Burrow out for another week, Flacco should be available to make one more start this weekend. There's no question that Burrow gives the Bengals offense more upside, but there could be a rust factor since he has not played since Week 2, and Cincy will also be without top wideout Ja'Marr Higgins (suspension) against New England.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) practiced in full for the second straight day on Thursday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The star quarterback has been on Injured Reserve since mid-September after suffering a toe injury in Week 2. However, it appears as though Burrow is nearing a return to the field in either Week 12 against the New England Patriots or Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens. Across 17 games in 2024, Burrow completed 70.6% of his pass attempts for 4,918 yards, 43 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. Assuming he can operate at full or near-full strength when he returns to the field, Burrow profiles as a must-start fantasy quarterback and holds league-winning upside down the stretch of the fantasy season. In the short term, Burrow's availability for Week 12 is unlikely to be determined until Friday. If he remains sidelined, veteran quarterback Joe Flacco (shoulder) would be in line to make his sixth straight start for Cincinnati.
