Bottom Line

The former Heisman winner and first overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft has quickly emerged as one of the league’s top QBs. That success has translated to fantasy in each of the last two seasons, and there are no signs of him slowing down any time soon.

Draft Burrow with a great deal of confidence in 2023.

What We Learned Last Year
  • Burrow entered last year coming off a 2021 campaign in which he finished first in PFF passing grade among qualified players and a QB9 overall fantasy finish (19.6 points per game).
  • He not only repeated as PFF’s highest-graded passer in 2022 but also improved his overall fantasy finish (QB4) and points per game average (21.9).
  • Burrow was consistently a locked-and-loaded producer in fantasy lineups. He ended the season with only five weekly finishes outside the top-12 and six top-5 efforts (including three weeks as the QB1 overall).
  • Once you dig into the numbers, you further appreciate how good Burrow was in 2022. Here’s how he ranked among the 24 QBs who logged 400+ dropbacks:
    • 8th in adjusted completion percentage (77.3%)
    • 8th in yards per attempt (7.3)
    • 6th in passer rating (99.0)
    • 2nd in passing yards (5,195)
    • 2nd in passing TDs (39)
  • Burrow did all of this behind a Bengals offensive line that ranked 31st in PFF pass blocking grade.
  • Burrow also nearly doubled his previous career-highs in both rushing yards (257) and rushing TDs (5) in 2022. He’s not known for his scrambling acumen, but it’s nice to see now that he’s even further removed from the devastating multi-ligament knee injury he sustained in 2020.
What to Expect in 2023
  • With a top-end WR duo of Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins at his disposal, there’s little reason to expect anything other than another stellar season from Burrow in 2023.
  • The offseason addition of four-time Pro Bowl OT Orlando Brown Jr. should also bring a massive boost to the Bengals’ offensive line.
    • Brown Jr. has finished within the top 20 of PFF pass blocking grade in each of the last four seasons among OTs who’ve logged 1,000+ snaps annually.
  • No need to overthink this one. Burrow is a bonafide top-5 fantasy QB in 2023.

Joe Burrow, QB CIN

Joe Burrow sidelined Thursday

Bengals QB Joe Burrow (calf) did not practice on Thursday. Both HC Zac Taylor and Burrow were non-committal on his availability for Monday night's game vs. the Rams. "Just feeling better," Burrow said. "Not as sore. Time heals. So we'll see." We'll update Burrow's status again on Friday.

Bengals HC Zac Taylor was non-committal on QB Joe Burrow's status for next Monday night's game vs. the Rams, saying it's "hard to say" at this point if Burrow will be available. The Cincinnati Enquirer's Kelsey Conway noted that Burrow was walking around the locker room "without a noticeable limp" and with no boot on his leg on Monday. We'll keep a close eye on his status throughout this week.

ESPN's Adam Schefter said it's "fair to wonder" if Bengals QB Joe Burrow (calf) will play vs. the Rams next Monday night. It wasn't an official report, but we doubt Schefter just pulled this out of thin air. We'll look for further updates on Burrow's status and track his practice participation throughout the week, but his fantasy owners should be lining up a backup plan for Week 3 (and maybe beyond). QB Jake Browning is Cincinnati's backup -- and would obviously be a huge downgrade for all Bengals skill-position players.
