He's been very average in fantasy lately. Who is starting with confidence? The Raiders suck so at least there's that.

I have the luxury of having Daniels too, so with Tee doubtful this weekend, Jayden gets the nod. Burrow’s better performances seem directly tied to Tee playing

Well I’m sure glad I just stuck with burrow lol. I understand your logic as well. Las Vegas is sad state

It's sickening that they did not add a DE before the deadline.
Is Burrow matchup proof this season? Statistically, he's feasted on mid to lower tier passing defenses this season. Struggled in only game vs. a top 15 pass D (Philly) although to be fair some of those defenses accrued Burrow explosion games.
Pretty concerned about Pitt (#1 pass D) and thinking a bottom tier QB like whoever NYG rolls out vs. Dallas on Thursday is the better play.

I don't think you can sit Burrow regardless of the matchup.

Fantasy Pros has Herbert higher ranked but I'm sticking with Joe this week.

I have the luxury of Burrow and Daniels. Been kinda nice. I lean Burrow most weeks just because game script usually means he throws.. I ain't scared of him playing at home against Pitt. I'm just hoping Wilson can score points.

Steelers pass defense can be had. Any given week they'll give up big plays.
Bengals may not win, but Burrow has as good of a chance at still producing okay as anyone has vs. the Steelers. They just let Winston throw/run for a TD a week ago with that sad sack Browns offense, soooo....I'm not benching Burrow where I own him. Certainly not for the "Tommy Cutlet's" of the world.
There isn't a matchup that exists where I'd bench Burrow for DeVito. Could be Devito against the 2008 Lions vs Burrow against the 1985 Bears, I'd still go Burrow.

Salvaged his line but the 3 turnovers were absolutely killer in crucial situations.
Meh, not sure they affected the outcome much. Felt like the Steelers took their foot off the gas. They could have dropped 50 if they'd wanted.
I feel really bad for Burrow, this is an early 2010s Drew Brees season, where he's arguably the best player in the NFL, and it doesn't matter because the defense is pathetic. People were getting on Ja'Marr Chase for calling out the defense in an interview, and like, why? I'm honestly curious if the starting defense is getting ripped up in practice by Jake Browning, Khalil Herbert, and Jermaine Burton (when he shows) because it wouldn't surprise me.
Burrow is on pace for a 4,727-43-7 season. MVP numbers, and they might be picking in the top-10.

Four major reasons why he is about to have a huge day this weekend:
1. Cowboys worked out 4 defensive backs today. Can't be good for the secondary
2. Bengals put McPherson on IR today. Brand new kicker means let's just go for it instead of kick.
3. Paid 3 million dollars for one of ten real life bat mobile cars.
4. He just been really good this year

I can't be finding out about my kicker like this dang it. I do love some Burrow though.

OK - you're on the clock in redraft snake draft and forced to choose either Joe Cool or Jayden Daniels as your next pick, who are you going with? Love the much longer track record of excellence from Burrow but the typical slow starts by the Bengals and those sweet rushing yard points from Daniels are so tempting....

Bengals just renewed his top 2 WRs, and the defense didn't get any better + about to lose Trey by the looks of it.
No brainer for me. Joe is the #1 dynasty QB in my eyes. Top 2 at worst
Joe Burrow is fantasy football gold because the Bengals' defense is a mess. With Trey Hendrickson’s contract drama and a defense that couldn’t stop a breeze, Burrow has no choice but to throw for 400 yards and five touchdowns every week. Who needs defense when you’ve got Burrow playing hero ball? Fantasy managers, rejoice!

As a Burrow owner in dynasty, his injury history has been a source of frustration for me. Yes they've been freak injuries for the most part and he's so damn good that I have to stay the course, but the downside is that I'm forced to invest in one or more borderline QB1/QB2 types so I have someone decent to turn to in case of injury. Seems like a lot of happy talk in this thread - yes Burrow is great, fun to watch, incredible WRs, terrible D you betcha, but buyer beware, the guy's made of glass. Let's see him go through a couple of seasons with no major injuries before we call him top 2 in dynasty.
