Bengals rely on Jake Browning as Joe Burrow heals, with Rich Eisen praising Browning's potential to carry a playoff push. Browning's poise and early efficiency matter behind a target-rich attack led by Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Chase Brown. A few wins could keep Cincinnati alive in a crowded AFC race and reshape Browning's NFL future.

If Browning strings together victories, the season shifts from loss to resilience, delivering a real fantasy angle as his role grows and teammates' ceilings rise with him under center.
