Joe Burrow Fantasy

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow finished with 207 yards on 19-for-30 passing during the Week 2 loss to Chicago. Although the former LSU Tiger threw two touchdowns, connecting with Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase for scores for the second consecutive week, he also tossed three picks, with one of them going back for a defensive trip to the end zone. Nonetheless, it was foreseen that he would have a few rough outings here or there this year, primarily after undergoing knee surgery during the offseason. Burrow will look to get back in Week 3 against the Steelers, with the 24-year-old racking up 213 yards and a touchdown during his only career meeting against Pittsburgh.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow appeared in his first game since sustaining a season-ending knee injury in November of 2020. The sophomore signal-caller looked good, too, finishing with 261 yards and two touchdowns during the overtime victory over Minnesota. Despite facing constant pressure from the Vikings defense, taking five sacks on the afternoon, he still completed over 74 percent of his passes. Burrow even helped former collegiate teammate Ja'Marr Chase rack up his first career trip to the end zone, connecting with the rookie on a 50-yard scoring pass late in the second quarter. It didn't take long for the 24-year-old to silence those who believed he wasn't ready to return. Still, it is only one game, and he still has a lot to prove, although his fantasy stock will undoubtedly increase heading into the Week 2 contest against the Chicago Bears.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will begin his sophomore season against the visiting Vikings on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium. Burrow was one of the league's most impactful rookies during the 2020 campaign. However, a left knee injury suffered back in November ended his year. With his first season now behind him, the former LSU Tiger has plenty of upside against Minnesota in Week 1, primarily with Tee Higgins, Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd, and Joe Mixon on the offensive side of the ball. Burrow will probably be throwing a ton again this year, and the Vikings' secondary shouldn't give him any issues. Nonetheless, the signal-caller has a high ceiling for the opener, so he should be starting for managers playing in 12-team formats and beyond or in Superflex leagues.
