November 20, 2008 Bengals quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick played fairly well, completing 20-of-37 passes with one touchdown and an interception at the end of their 27-10 loss to the Steelers.
Our View:Fitzpatrick's numbers should have been better but the Bengals dropped a number of passes. All in all, it would have been difficult for fantasy owners to expect much more than what Fitzpatrick gave.
November 10, 2008 Ryan Fitzpatrick is slated to start another game for the Bengals in Week 11 with Carson Palmer (elbow inflammation) not expected to play, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Other than that, there is no other news available on Palmer.
Our View:Fitzpatrick will be coming off a big win over the Jaguars, but will likely fade back into obscurity against a tough Eagles' defense that will be out for blood following their loss to the rival Giants. Fitzpatrick maintains a poor 66.6 efficiency rating.
November 2, 2008 Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick completed 21-of-31 passes for 162 yards with two touchdowns against one interception in the Week 9 win over Jacksonville.
Our View:Not likely that Fitzpatrick was in very many fantasy lineups this week, but he did lead the Bungles to their first victory of the 2008 campaign.
October 27, 2008 Ryan Fitzpatrick has allowed forced fumbles in each of his four starts this season.
Our View:The Bengals continue to struggle without Carson Palmer, who could be lost for the season.
October 13, 2008 Ryan Fitzpatrick will make another start in Week 7 against Pittsburgh in place of the injured Carson Palmer (inflamed elbow), according to the Bengals' official website.
Our View:The team is seemingly taking a conservative approach with Palmer, with the options ranging from Palmer playing in two weeks at Houston, or waiting until after the November 9 bye, or potentially shutting it down for the season. Fitzpatrick will not be a recommended fantasy option against the Steelers, especially without a solid running game to rely on and complement the passing game.
