CIN QB Joe Burrow - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Buffalo Bills
It looks like Joe Burrow is back. Over the last three weeks, he has averaged 261 yards and has thrown 8 touchdown passes. He has limited the turnovers to two interceptions over that stretch. The calf seems to be getting better and that has coincided with his better play.

Burrow faces the Bills who are ranked 7th in aFPA to quarterbacks. Last season, he threw for 242 yards and two touchdowns against Buffalo in the playoffs. It is not an easy matchup for him this week, but he has found ways to get it done with the injury.

Start Burrow as a top-five fantasy quarterback for Week 9. He usually comes up big in big games and this is a huge game for the Bengals.

CIN QB Joe Burrow - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at San Francisco 49ers
The Bengals offense had been playing much better the last two games before the bye week including Joe Burrow. Although the numbers were still below expectations for the most part, he did throw 5 touchdown passes (and also two interceptions. The week off will help Burrow with his calf issue so we expect Cincy to keep trending upward.

It won't be easy this Sunday as Cincinnati travels to San Francisco to take on the Niners who are ranked 4th in aFPA to quarterbacks. Burrow usually thrives in games against good defenses and that could be the case against the 49ers although the matchup favors the defense.

Start Burrow as a low-end QB1 for Week 8. The Bengals offense still isn't quite there and although that could change with the bye week and more rest, the unfavorable matchupo dampers expectations.

CIN QB Joe Burrow - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Seattle Seahawks
Joe Burrow had his best game of the season and is starting to resemble the 'Joe Cool" we are used to. He threw for 317 yards and three touchdowns, both season-highs. A better sign for Bengals fans was his accuracy. He completed 78% of his passes which helped him reach those fantasy numbers.

Burrow will face the Seahawks who are ranked 26th in aFPA to quarterbacks. The Bengals are back home, but will still be without WR Tee Higgins.

Start Burrow as last week was a good start in getting back to form. He rates as a low-end QB1 and might not put numbers like last week, but should be a good fantasy asset for Week 6.

CIN QB Joe Burrow - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Arizona Cardinals
It was an awful game for Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense. Cincy didn't score a touchdown and Burrow threw for only 165 yards and zero touchdowns. It's hard to comprehend how their offense got so bad so quick, but the Burrow injury has something to do with it. The problem is we don't know when the problems will be solved.

Burrow will face one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL so maybe this is a chance for them to right the ship. His completion rate wasn't bad last week, but the big plays downfield weren't there.

We are taking a wait-and-see approach with Burrow. Even with the favorable matchup, keep him on the bench for Week 5 until we see the old Joe Burrow and those numbers.

CIN QB Joe Burrow - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Tennessee Titans
Joe Burrow looked better, but his fantasy stats remained disappointing last Monday. He threw for a season-high 259 yards, but zero touchdowns and one interception. The calf is still an issue but it appears he will play through it. But this isn't the same Joe Burrow we are used to seeing.

The Titans are up next and have a below-average pass defense. Burrow faced Tennessee in 2022 and threw for 270 yards and a touchdown. The offensive weapons are still there for the Bengals so each week we could see improvement.

Start Burrow as a solid QB1 for Week 4. He is still better than most quarterbacks even if he isn't 100%. Each week, he has looked better and you have to stick with him if he is your starting quarterback.

CIN QB Joe Burrow - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Los Angeles Rams
It's obvious that there is something wrong with Joe Burrow. His completion rate so far in 2023 is 57% which is more than 10% lower than his career average. Cincinnati has to make a decision about how to treat his calf injury. At 0-2, if they sit him and wait until he is closer to 100% healthy, they could be out of the playoff race. If they continue to play him, his numbers will continue to suffer.

Even if Burrow plays Week 3 against the Rams, it's hard to imagine him to improve his numbers until he is healthy. He has 306 yards for the season and two touchdowns. That's usually one solid game for him. Keep Burrow on the bench until we see him perform to the expected standard.

CIN QB Joe Burrow - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Baltimore Ravens
Yikes is the first word that comes to mind after Joe Burrow's 2023 debut. Considering he was a top-five fantasy quarterback coming into the season, he had the worst numbers of anyone in Week 1. He completed 45% of his passes for 82 yards and zero touchdowns. Hard to imagine how that happened with the offensive weapons in Cincy, but we will chalk it up to Burrow still finding his way with the calf injury and a pretty good Browns defense.

It won't get easier this Sunday when the Ravens come to town. Burrow faced them three times last season and never threw for over 215 yards. He threw only three touchdown passes in those three games.

Still hard to be down on the Bengals offense. Burrow should get his numbers back up even with the unfavorable matchup. Rank him a solid QB1 for Week 2 and hope there is some home-cooking for the Burrow to put up more familiar numbers.
