Joe Burrow eyeing rare feat

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow is attempting to become only the seventh quarterback since the merger to lead the league in touchdown passes in consecutive seasons. He would join Terry Bradshaw (1981-82), Dan Marino (1984-86), Jim Everett (1988-89), Steve Young (1992-94), Brett Favre (1995-97) and Drew Brees (2008-09 and 2011-12).

Joe Burrow's right wrist not fully healed

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow (wrist) said during the club's mandatory minicamp last month that he hasn't fully recovered from season-ending surgery performed on his right wrist in November 2023. '(In 2024), I still wasn't quite back to throwing it the way that I expect,' he said. 'It's improved this year and it will continue to improve. As long as I keep making those reps, taking the extra time to get that rhythm back, it will continue to improve.'

Joe Burrow poised for fast start

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow has received a lot of support from the organization, including new deals for WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, as well as TE Mike Gesicki, and he's headed into his second season under offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher. All of that has Burrow looking 'dialed in,' according to The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr., who writes that the continuity along with Burrow's health is a 'recipe for him to finally start fast.' The Bengals have gone 1-7 in Weeks 1 and 2 over the past four seasons.

Footballguys Consensus

Andy Hicks

Burrow may be the best non running fantasy quarterback available and should be strong again. It helps when he has Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins on hand.

Jason Wood

"Best pure passer in the NFL"

Matt Waldman

QB3

Burrow is an excellent anticipation thrower and pocket manager with an aggressive mentality. Armed with one of the best 1-2 punches in the passing game and two more promising receiving talents as contributors, Burrow only real weakness as a fantasy producer is his offensive line. Even so, Burrow has transcended lackluster OL play before. He did last year.

Burrow's 68.1 completion rate against the blitz was among the best in the league and he was only sacked 8% of the time against the blitz compared to Jayden Daniels (11%), Brock Purdy (10%), and Jalen Hurts (15%).

Burrow's yards per attempt against pressure without the blitz -- the most difficult form of pressure - was 8.2. Pat Mahomes? 5.6. Daniels? 7.5. Josh Allen? 7.3. None of those QBs delivered more than 8 touchdowns against pressure. Burrow threw 14.

Ben Cummins

QB5

Joe Burrow is a dynamically elite quarterback. He led the NFL in passing yards (4,918) and pass touchdowns (43) last season. The Bengals' defense projects to be bad once again.

Ryan Weisse

QB5

"Burrow led the league in passing yards and touchdowns last season. A lot of his production came because the Bengals' defense couldn't stop anyone and almost every game was a shootout, but fantasy managers weren't complaining. There is no guarantee that the script stays the same in 2025, but with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins at his disposal, Burrow should be just fine."
