Before the trade deadline closed, Zac Taylor’s Bengals managed to strengthen their offense with a key addition. Now, Joe Burrow has another important weapon to make an impact on opposing defenses, and the team’s aspirations grow in line with the rising talent on their roster.

With Herbert’s arrival in Cincinnati now official, the Bengals’ star quarterback, Joe Burrow, shared his thoughts with the media on the recent developments within the franchise.

“I’m glad we went out and tried to get better,” Burrow said, via Ben Baby of ESPN. The former LSU player adds both talent and experience to an offense that continues to grow with each passing game.

Khalil Herbert trade

In a strategic move before the trade deadline, the Cincinnati Bengals have acquired running back Khalil Herbert from the Chicago Bears, bolstering their offensive backfield. The trade brings in a dynamic playmaker who has shown flashes of brilliance during his time in Chicago.

The news was confirmed by NFL insider Tom Pelissero through his X (formerly Twitter) account: “Trade! The #Bears are sending RB Khalil Herbert to the #Bengals, per sources. Agents Samantha Sankovich and Chris Cabott of @EquitySports facilitated the trade, which bolsters Cincinnati’s backfield after Zack Moss’ neck injury.”

Herbert, known for his speed and versatility, will add another dimension to the Bengals’ already potent offense, complementing Joe Mixon in the backfield. His ability to contribute both as a runner and in the passing game makes him a valuable asset for Cincinnati’s playoff push.

NFL Fantasy 2022: Top 3 Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 4

3. Jamaal Williams

It was just a matter of time before D’Andre Swift got hurt and unfortunately, it didn’t take long. So, there’s no way Jamaal Williams should be up for grabs in your league, given how run-heavy the Detroit Lions’ offense has been.

Williams is coming off putting up 107 total yards and two scores, and he did that vs. the Minnesota Vikings‘ stout defense. He’ll have elite usage until Swift is able to come back from that shoulder injury.

2. Khalil Herbert

David Montgomery hurt his knee, and ankle and it’s not like he was very impressive while healthy, either. Khalil Herbert took over and he looked sharp, quick, and nearly unstoppable in Week 3.

The Chicago Bears trusted Herbert down the stretch, and he responded by shredding through the Houston Texans’ defense on every snap. He’ll be a nice streaming option even if Montgomery is back on the gridiron.

1. Romeo Doubs

It took him three weeks, but Aaron Rodgers has officially found his WR1. He had plenty of praise for Romeo Doubs during training camp, and it seems like the rookie wideout has finally earned his trust.

Doubs made the most of Sammy Watkins and Christian Watson being out. The Green Bay Packers don’t have many options, but he was explosive, efficient, and piled up plenty of yards after the catch. He can be a stud in no time.
