When Will Joe Burrow Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Joe Burrow - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS and Betting Picks

When will Joe Burrow return and play? Will Joe Burrow be back again this season? Read the latest Joe Burrow injury updates and return date for Week 12 (2023).

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has been one of the best players in the NFL since the 2021 NFL season began. The 2020 No. 1 overall pick led the Bengals all the way to the Super Bowl in his second season, and he was rewarded with a massive contract during the 2023 NFL offseason.

Unfortunately, Burrow suffered a major injury in the Week 11 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, putting his status in doubt moving forward.

When will Burrow return? What's his fantasy outlook when he gets back to action? Let's dive in.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

 

Joe Burrow Latest Injury Update - November 30

The Cincinnati Bengals announced on Monday that quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist) underwent successful surgery on his injured right wrist. "The procedure went as planned and he is expected to make a complete recovery. Joe will return to Cincinnati this week to be with the team and begin the recovery and rehab process," the team said in a statement.

Burrow tore a ligament in his right wrist in the Week 11 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and will be forced to miss the rest of what was an injury filled 2023 campaign for the 26-year-old. With better health in 2024, Burrow could be a nice QB1 bounce-back target in fantasy drafts. Jake Browning lost his first game as the starter in Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers and will lead Cincy's offense the rest of the way.

 

Joe Burrow Injury Update for Fantasy Football

The Cincinnati Bengals announced on Friday that quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist) will miss the rest of the season after reportedly tearing a ligament in his right wrist in the Thursday night loss to the Baltimore Ravens. It's a monumental blow to the Bengals and fantasy managers. Any chance the Bengals might have had to make the playoffs this year likely went up in flames when the 26-year-old was hurt in Week 11.

It was a frustrating year for Burrow, who started off slow due to a calf injury that caused him to miss all of training camp and the preseason. He finishes with 2,309 passing yards, 15 touchdowns and six interceptions in 10 games.

He should be able to return by Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season.

 

Joe Burrow Dynasty Fantasy Football Outlook

When Burrow is healthy, he has been nothing short of spectacular. When he's back to action next season, he'll continue to share the field with superstar wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase. Tee Higgins is scheduled to be a free agent this offseason. However, Burrow should continue to be valued as a top-eight dynasty quarterback -- if not higher.

Burrow averaged at least 20 fantasy points per game in each of the last two seasons, finishing as no lower than the QB8 overall. He may not have the elite upside of the dual-threat quarterbacks, but he's a perfect QB to build a dynasty team around -- especially in superflex or two-QB formats.

Fantasy managers who are rebuilding should see if a contending Burrow-led team is willing to make a deal for him.
