QB Joe Burrow, CIN (8 Viewers)

If you already had Flacco would you drop Daniels for Burrow? I like Daniels' upside with the rushing more than Burrow's, but it is "cleaner" to have both Cincy QBs because you don't have to worry about when Burrow comes back, you just play whoever plays. I guess I just answered my own question, lol.

For this season? It sounds like it might be a wrap on Daniels for the season so yeah that might be the upside play. I mean the Bengals game plan is pretty much to try and win 45-42 every week. If there are keeper league implications it might depend on the rules for that (like say it is a cheap pick next year to keep Daniels, you can't keep Burrow because he is FA pickup, whatever) but no more byes for the Bengals so I would say do it

Yes, straight redraft, no keepers. It's purely about trying to make the playoffs and catch lightning in a bottle once there.

What exactly does that mean? I know that means he's practicing with the starters, but is that something you only do at a certain stage of recovery?

I take it to mean Burrow isn't taking no for an answer and will be playing again this season and rather soon.

Interesting. Hopefully that happens as long as he's good to go.
 
We all know the Bengals are a poorly run franchise, bringing Burrow back to play now in a lost season is not very intelligent
especially when he is not 100%

He won't be able to move like normal, he could get injured some other way, they should just sit him out for the season get
a good draft pick and move on to next season

Playing him now is not the smart move at all

Counterargument: what if he is healed? I think if he's healthy, why not start him, even in a lost season? Maybe they play spoiler down the stretch. They have games against NE, Bal (x2) and Buf all of those could have big ramifications for those teams.

Yeah, if he's like 50% healed, obviously starting him would be dumb, but I don't see a good reason to not play him just because he was hurt, if he's healthy. Same applies to Jayden Daniels for me.

If he's not healthy I'd bet most of the world would agree he should not be messing with playing.

But for the Bengals franchise I can understand it as long as they are mathematically alive. Right now they are 3 games from a playoff spot.

It sounds to me like he's coming back next week but if he can't go until week 14 and they lose the next two games, then I am wondering if they re-assess the situation? I feel like they would but also wonder how much deference they will give to Burrow, who they seem to do whatever he wants, so if he tells them he wants to play I'm thinking no one is going to stop him.

Yea we have no idea if he is not 100%. Also the Steeler are leading the division at 6-4 and not a very good team. Baltimore is in 2nd at 5-5 and also not a particularly good team.

He is not healed with what he had done. He has to wear a steel plate in his shoe, that's not healed

He is good enough but he is no where near 100% healed and healthy with what he had surgery for

The chance of reinjury is very much there.
 
Practicing in full today sounds like he's coming back this weekend, unless there's a midweek setback. Thinking best to let him sit a week for fantasy, but some of us may be feeling desperate, especially in start 2QB leagues.

If hes fully healed there are literally 7 games left which is 41% of the season. Sitting him out just because its a lost season would be a slap in the face to their fans, nfl fans and his teammates.

Yahoo updated projections as if he’s starting just now.

Not that it’s anything more than an algorithm or projection but it’s exciting.

Yup. Projected for 18.8 points in ESPN.

Not so unlikely outcome. He's rusty. Higgins owners crying come Monday and begging for Flacco back lol.

Im like 90% sure hes starting. If he wasnt seems foolish to let him work with the first team two practices in a row.

Same here. Flacco has not practiced the past several Wednesdays. With Joe taking all the reps Thursday, I say he is starting unless there is a setback.
