Those hits by Myles Garrett last week probably played a factor into this.

Sucks. Fun guy to watch play.

Right. Just protocol at this point. You don't want to be the one to put the wraps on - yet another - season for this guy without being able to say that you pursued every avenue.
their owners are cheap and they have the smallest scouting department maybe in all of sports; that franchise is ran poorly
When you hear that a player has turf toe, you think he’s gonna miss a week or two, maybe a month max. This was just a freak thing. I don’t think any of us saw it coming.
It led to Jack Lambert's early retirement, and Deion Sanders tried to play through it and ended up having two toes amputated.Shocked that Mr softee is the only guy ive ever heard of missing an entire season due to turf tow.
The agony of the feet: Why turf toe is such a dreaded injury in the NFL
A misunderstood and often dismissed condition, a big toe hyperextension can cause crippling pain with every step, creating mental anguish and fatigue that take a huge toll on an athlete. After decades of occurrences, it's finally being taken seriously.

The Bengals really got blessed with one of the best passers in the league. They've never given him a good OL. I
I would question if he has nearly the serious injuries and missed time with a halfway decent OL.Shocked that Mr softee is the only guy ive ever heard of missing an entire season due to turf tow.

Message board posters calling him soft when he stood in the pocket to deliver throws with Myles Garrett running straight at him last week is the definition of lame.

Yep - it completely killed one of Davante Adams seasons, too.

Andrew luck comes to mind. Eventually you give up playing for a franchise that runs the team in a way that isn’t protecting your best asset. That said I’m unsure how much Joe is involved in wanting to keep his WRs core in tact which is very costly.
That said, it’s sad as a dynasty owner because the season is basically through and most of us are struggling to find backups in 1 qb
Message board posters taking FANTASY football too seriously are lame. Lighten up.

Yes, absolutely (assuming redraft).
Capella
Footballguy
I don't care even a little bit about fantasy football.
Yes, redraft. Was so excited to have him in a 6 point pass TD league. This was the first year having Joe on my team. Will be looking for a replacement via WW now. My Back up also has toe issues.

What to Do If Your Fantasy Team Just Lost Joe Burrow
Moves to make this week if your fantasy team lost Joe Burrow to injury.

How's your franchise doing?
They hit on their draft picks that aren’t TE or OL lol but they keep letting stroud takes hits and he’s going to end up being Andrew luck in a bad way
Then why are you posting in a fantasy football message board

I assume you are kidding?
Bengals will be 3-4 games under 0.500 at that point... why would they put him back on the field (unless maybe to... finish him off!).

Bengals pass pro ranks since drafting Joe Burrow (pass block win rate, per ESPN research):
2020 (29th)
Burrow has not played behind an offensive line that didn't rank in the bottom quartile.

3rd time over 6 seasons he's missing significant time. Probably not worth arguing how much is on him, vs team, vs bad luck. But regardless, he's falling short of both dynasty and redraft expectations and values. Starting to wonder if I shouldn't have accepted some of the offers I received for him over this off season.
I'm sure people will make the same arguments they made for CMC about how he's a league winner when he's available. Just getting hard to overlook he's a league wrecker 50% of the time too though. Guess some people play in leagues where startable QBs are found on waivers; but in 5 non-SF leagues right now and there is no one to pick up this week. Daniel Jones, Russ, Stafford, and Mac Jones were available and picked up last week. This week your options are Browning, Wents, and Tyrod. TBF, all of these leagues the Burrow owner had a back up to replace him with on their bench; but most were also bottom barrel backups. Understandable considering the cost of drafting Burrow to begin with.

Not much
A whole lot since the OL stinks
Most definitely some of this as well, but it’s mostly on the team.

Yeah I think that's a fair assessment. I do think the organization gets knocked harder than necessary for being "cheap" considering they did open the wallets for him, Chase, Higgins, and even Hendrickson eventually. But you'd still like to see them put a little more into protecting the most important guy. When Burrow is healthy and on the field, they seem like they are a playoff team regardless of all other factors. When he's not.... suddenly all the other holes on both sides of the ball seem to double in size.
Starting to think they maybe should have let Higgins walk and spent that money and the line though tbh; but that's assuming they would have actually funneled the money that way.
Regardless, bummer for my SF league I own Burrow in. 2023 injury didn't burn me as bad as I was still just wrapping up a rebuild. But this year was supposed to be a return the championship I lost last year. Now I have to worry about even making the playoffs. Purdy, TLaw, and Rodgers are my other QBs *insert MJ crying meme here*

I would have let Higgins go, honestly, and devote more assets to the O-line.

I was screaming it. But IMO Burton being a bust kind of forced their hand. That and Iosivas being unlikely to take over.
That said, there are plenty of competent WR they could have singed as a stop-gap. Keenan Allen was out there along with Kirk at the time.
They definitely should have invested in the OL instead.

I have 1 share in SF dynasty - in a start-up I just did. Where I picked 1.04, and mentally wrestled over the “chase vs Burrow” decision for over an hour before taking Burrow. 6 pt PaTD & -2 Ints - in all my other SF Leagues I cobble together a QB room, and it felt like locking up a QB1 for the next decade+ was a sharp move. I chose poorly. I went Burrow ~> BTJ. Shoulda gone Chase ~> Nix.
Fortunately I also spent a 28th round pick on Browning, but that’s less than ideal.
pinkstapler
Footballguy
Yeah BTJ has been a major burning sensation in my pee through two weeks as well. And it's not giving the "this will get better soon" vibes I want from a guy I spent an early 2nd on across multiple leagues. Never one to give up two weeks into the season; but between him and my QB choices this year getting hurt/stinking, this may be the fastest the fantasy gods have ever crushed my dreams yet haha. Here's to Mac Jones and Egbuka carrying me to the playoffsI have 1 share in SF dynasty - in a start-up I just did.

Yeah, in my other startup SF Purdy as my QB2 behind Baker felt good at the time.Here's to Mac Jones and Egbuka carrying me to the playoffs
That 3rd I gave up for Mac Jones is feeling better and better, though local reports are that Purdy’s toe isn’t as bad as initially reported.

Out 3 months basically means out for the season. There will be no need to bring him back this year.

Browning looked pretty competent/capable last year. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them go .500 without Burrow. Tough division though.
