Jake Browning Fantasy

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning went 19-for-26 passing for 227 yards, one touchdown, and one pick in Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh. He added nine yards off three carries. The signal-caller is now the team's starter after Joe Burrow (wrist) went down for the year. While he didn't play the best, it wasn't the worst showing, either. The Bengals will next play the Jags on Monday night in Week 13. Hopefully, more practice time will allow Browning to get on the same page with Ja'Marr Chase and the rest of the Bengals offense. But for now, he's not worth considering in any fantasy format.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning will start on Sunday against the Steelers. Joe Burrow (wrist) is done for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, so Browning will do his best to keep Cincinnati in the postseason conversation. The 27-year-old, who won the backup job during the preseason, took over for the ailing Burrow in the Week 11 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on a Thursday night. He didn't play the best, throwing for 68 yards while completing just 57.1% of his attempts. In all fairness, Browning wasn't horrible, however, as he tossed a touchdown and didn't throw any interceptions. Even better, he amassed 40 yards off 10 carries. Nonetheless, Browning is already familiar with the offense, which will certainly benefit him. Additionally, the added days off gave him extra practice time with the starters. But that doesn't mean the signal-caller should be starting in any fantasy lineup on Sunday versus the Steelers, although his presence may not be all that bad for Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd, among others.

The Cincinnati Bengals offense is going to be less productive without Joe Burrow (wrist) at quarterback for the rest of the season. However, the Bengals coaching staff believes that Jake Browning, who has been with the team since 2021, can operate all facets of the offense and that it won't have to alter their game-planning or play-calling with Browning now starting under center. Hopefully for fantasy managers that have Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, the drop-off won't be as drastic as you might fear. Running back Joe Mixon, meanwhile, should have more of a workload as the coaching staff looks to take a little pressure off Browning. Heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, it sounds as though the Bengals will try to keep everything as normal as possible on offense.
