Week 2 at Cleveland
The debut of Joe Burrow had its ups and downs, but the bottom line is if the Bengals had a kicker, he would be 1-0. From a fantasy standpoint, Burrow threw the ball 36 times, which is great for his owners but probably not what Cincy wants. He completed 64% of his passes but for a conservative 193 yards. Burrow threw zero touchdowns and one interception. Overall, he looked like a rookie quarterback in his debut, and although better times are coming, the offensive line could be an issue.
Burrow will face rival Cleveland this Thursday which had a rough start to the season. The Browns are ranked 23rd in aFPA to quarterbacks after one week. It will be the first of many meetings for Burrow against the division rival.
Burrow was drafted as a QB2 and that's what he is ranked for Week 2. We eventually expect a breakout game from him, but it could come in Week 2, Week 10 or Week 15. For now, keep him on your bench as depth.
