Bengals QB Joe Burrow throws caution to the wind to return to playing field just 69 days after surgery with the team mired in a hopeless 3-8 quandry.

The Bengals waived Sean Clifford, a former St. Xavier High School standout quarterback and Penn State alum, the team announced on Monday, Nov. 24.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson practiced Tuesday despite a toe injury and declared himself ready to play Thanksgiving night against the Cincinnati Bengals.

His absence was felt earlier in the season, as Cooper Rush went 0-2 as the backup with no touchdown passes and four interceptions before the team turned to Tyler Huntley. The Ravens would undoubtedly turn to Huntley yet again if Jackson is forced to miss time.

Picking the right quarterback every week could be the edge that swings your fantasy football matchup. With that being said, Week 13 of the NFL season offers several favorable matchups and sneaky upside plays at QB. Below are several options to weigh with analysis on each.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was estimated Monday as a non-participant because of a toe injury, and he sat out the team's walk-through.

The Bengals waived backup quarterback Sean Clifford, the team announced Monday. With Joe Burrow returning from injured reserve, the Bengals will still have three quarterbacks, with Joe Flacco and Jake Browning also on the roster.

Would Joe Burrow have made a difference for the Bengals against the Patriots? Maybe. Would Ja'Marr Chase? Definitely.
