Comment () | Share: Bengals | Bengals to be aggressive in free agency? Thu, 22 Jan 2015 19:43:45 -0800 Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis suggested that team owner Mike Brown plans to be more aggressive this offseason is pursuing free agents. Comment () | Share: Bengals | Cincy plans on healthy Vontaze Burfict Wed, 21 Jan 2015 18:00:06 -0800 Cincinnati Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict (knee) has had knee surgery, head coach Marvin Lewis confirmed Wednesday, Jan. 21. While there has been concern Burfict might have to begin the 2015 season on the physically-unable-to-perform (PUP) list and miss the first six weeks, Lewis said the plan is he'll be back for the season. Comment () | Share: Bengals | Marvin Lewis happy with Andy Dalton Wed, 21 Jan 2015 17:59:21 -0800 Cincinnati Bengals QB Andy Dalton has the support of his head coach Marvin Lewis. The head coach said Wednesday, Jan. 21, that he is happy with Dalton, and the club has no plans to bring in a backup quarterback to push Dalton. "Fortunately, somehow I've got the right little thing on my shoulder that says, 'Don't get into a quarterback controversy'," Lewis said. "That's worked for (QB Jon Kitna) to (QB Carson Palmer) to Andy. It's helped us have the success we've had and those guys have been good players, productive players. Even when they've left out of here they've been productive. It works." Fantasy Tip: Dalton can be a serviceable fantasy option again in 2015, especially if he has a full season with a healthy A.J. Green, as well as one of the best backfield tandems in the league. He won't necessarily be a Top 10 fantasy option at his position, but Dalton will be a sneaky FantasyScore play some weeks, and he is a decent fantasy backup in yearly formats. Comment () | Share: Bengals | Cincinnati not parting with Vance Joseph Tue, 20 Jan 2015 20:13:37 -0800 Cincinnati Bengals defensive backs coach Vance Joseph will not be let out of his contract to pursue defensive coordinator positions. He was linked to the Denver Broncos defensive coordinator opening. Comment () | Share: Bengals | Andy Dalton won't have competition Thu, 15 Jan 2015 11:33:45 -0800 Cincinnati Bengals QB Andy Dalton is not expected to enter next season with competition at quarterback, as the Bengals are not expected to draft another quarterback this year. "He's our guy and we're not going to shy away from that," says offensive coordinator Hue Jackson of Dalton and quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese offers, "He was better with the intangibles this year and the ball was better coming out of his hand. You could see that right away when he came back from the last offseason." Jackson is a fan of backup QB Jason Campbell, and the team was impressed with young QB A.J. McCarron. Fantasy Tip: Dalton had his best completion percentage of his career this year at 64.2%, but he remains more of a mediocre QB1 based on matchups. In your fantasy football drafts next year, consider him best used as a potent backup.

"This year, he was just three-technique No. 20, in my mind," defensive coordinator Paul Guenther said. "He was just a guy out there." Atkins and DE Carlos Dunlap combined for 11.5 sacks in 17 games this year, including the team's playoff loss. Atkins is now a year and two months removed from an anterior cruciate ligament tear in his knee. Guenther said Atkins didn't have the explosion off the line that he's had in the past.
