Jermaine Burton

The Bengals waived WR Jermaine Burton.

Fantasy Impact

Burton was suspended for Week 14 before getting waived. He'll head to waivers where he could draw interest from another team.

Jermaine Burton has been ruled out for Week 14 after not traveling with the team to Buffalo. His absence is not injury-related.

Fantasy Impact

The report listed "non-injury related reasons", and for someone with Burton's history, that could mean anything from personal or coaching reasons to ethical issues. His absence shouldn't change much for the secondary pieces of the Bengals offense, as Burton wasn't involved much in the offense up to this point in the season.

Jermaine Burton (ankle) practiced in a full capacity on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Burton recently suffered an ankle injury, but it's not a serious issue and he was able to log a full practice session on Wednesday. He should be good to go for Week 14, assuming he doesn't suffer a setback with his recovery.

An ankle issue has left Jermaine Burton's status in limbo, as head coach Zac Taylor officially labeled the receiver as week-to-week. The injury adds another layer of difficulty to a season where the wideout has been completely unable to get on the field.

Fantasy Impact

Burton has yet to log a single offensive snap in 2025, having been surpassed on the depth chart by Mitchell Tinsley. The 2024 third-round selection has struggled to earn the coaching staff's trust dating back to his rookie year due to reported work ethic concerns, and this latest setback ensures he remains irrelevant for fantasy purposes.

Jermaine Burton is inactive for Week 8.

Fantasy Impact

Burton is a healthy scratch as he was not seen on the injury report leading up to Week 8.
