Joe Burrow

The biggest concern with Burrow remains his durability. He has missed significant time in two of the last three seasons. He would be the highest-ranked, non-rushing threat quarterback in the league. The reality is that only Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff, and Sam Darnold belong in that same tier of fringe QB1 options. Without a meaningful rushing floor, it’s easy to rank more mobile quarterbacks ahead of Joe Burrow. That said, the strength of the offense, Burrow’s control within it, and his elite supporting cast still make him a clear top-six fantasy quarterback when healthy.

A strong FF QB1 when healthy - especially in 6 pt pass TD leagues - but has had three seasons of 10 or fewer games in six years

Burrow is back at the helm of a dangerous Cincinnati passing attack. With Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins at his disposal, he offers some of the best pocket passing metrics in the league and a highly dependable weekly ceiling you can trust.

Joe Burrow's game belongs in the top two tiers of quarterbacks like Jackson, Allen, Stafford, and Purdy when he's healthy. Availability has been the problem. 

If you can't stomach the gamble, your only hope of acquiring Burrow is the off chance he falls outside the top 3-5  quarterbacks in an isolated draft. 

Let's hope Burrow doesn't become a "what could have been," career due to injury. He has the anticipation, placement, pocket movement, and surrounding skill talent for 40-50 touchdowns and 5,000 yards.
