Joe Burrow Fantasy

Former Washington Football Team tight end Thaddeus Moss, the son of Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss, has been claimed by the Cincinnati Bengals off waivers, according to a source. The former LSU star will be reunited with quarterback Joe Burrow and profiles as a low-risk, possible high-reward pickup. The Bengals were interested in signing Moss last year after he went undrafted. Moss spent his rookie season in the NFL on Injured Reserve due to a foot injury that required surgery. In his senior season at LSU, he caught 47 passes for 570 yards and four touchdowns. Moss will have a chance to compete for a roster spot this summer behind C.J. Uzomah and Drew Sample, depending on what the team does at the position in the draft.

Newly acquired Cincinnati Bengals offensive line coach Frank Pollack said the team's No. 1 priority going into 2021 is to keep quarterback Joe Burrow upright and off the Injured Reserve. Burrow had been sacked 32 times at the time of his season-ending left knee injury in Week 11, which was the third-most in the league. He had taken 72 hits entering his final game, which was tied for the most by a rookie QB in his first nine games since 2000. Burrow saw pressure on 146 of his 453 dropbacks in 10 games. The Bengals allowed an AFC North-high 215 pressures in 2020. Under Pollack's direction in 2018, Cincy ranked 11th in the league in fewest sacks allowed per game at 2.3. Burrow remains on track to be ready for the 2021 season after a promising rookie campaign, but his Year 2 upside could be capped if the Bengals don't fix their offensive-line issues.

Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) said in a video conference on Tuesday that he is currently on pace to be ready for the start of the 2021 regular season. The impressive rookie tore his ACL and MCL in late November but remains on track six weeks after undergoing surgery. Burrow said he'll start running on an assisted treadmill in roughly six weeks. The former LSU star is on track currently, but any slight setback along the way would put him in danger of missing the start of next season. The 24-year-old looked to be the answer under center before his injury, finishing with 2,688 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and five interceptions while adding 142 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. Burrow has QB1 upside, but because of the risk involved, he should be considered a QB2 with upside for fantasy managers next season in redraft leagues.
