2024 Fantasy Outlook
A preseason calf injury last year was a harbinger of Burrow’s season. By Week 4, a gimpy Burrow had just two TD passes, averaging 182 yards a game. He warmed up as he got healthier, passing for 12 TDs and nearly 300 yards per game in his next five games before a Week 11 wrist injury ended his season. The takeaway, though, is the mystery of why Burrow no longer challenges defenses downfield. In 2021, he threw deep at a 12.1 percent clip with an 8.1-yard average target depth, forming one of the league’s best field-stretching tandems with Ja’Marr Chase. The last two years, however, he’s all but stopped looking downfield. In 2022, just 7.9 percent of his attempts traveled beyond 20 yards as his average target depth dropped to 6.8. Last year was even worse -- 6.8 percent and 6.3 yards, the former ranking 30th, the latter last. Burrow is healthy again, but the Bengals offense comes with other questions after Tee Higgins demanded a trade and Tyler Boyd wasn't re-signed. The team drafted Jermaine Burton, a third-round pick with 4.45 speed, and signed TE Mike Gesicki, who went quiet the past two seasons despite his impressive blend of size (6-6, 250) and speed (4.54). Long-time lead back Joe Mixon (52 catches) was traded and subsequently replaced by former Colts backup RB Zack Moss. The one thing Burrow definitely has going for him is volume. He attempted 606 passes two years ago and was on pace for 620 last year. Even at a poor 6.5 YPA, that works out to 4,000 yards. Read Past Outlooks

Stellar numbers in loss
Burrow completed 34 of 56 passes for 428 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in the Bengals' 35-34 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night. He also rushed twice for six yards and committed two fumbles but lost neither.
ANALYSIS
On the heels of a five-touchdown day against the Raiders in Week 9, Burrow nearly matched his stellar output Thursday while also recording a new season high in passing yards. The 2020 first overall pick connected with Tanner Hudson (three yards) and Ja'Marr Chase (67, 70 and five yards) for his quartet of scoring tosses, with the third to Chase leaving the Bengals just a point shy of tying the Ravens at 35-35 with only 38 seconds remaining. Head coach Zac Taylor opted to forgo a game-tying PAT and instead go for two points, but Burrow couldn't connect with Hudson on a play where Mike Gesicki also appeared to have potentially been impeded on his route. Cincinnati fell to 4-6 with the narrow defeat but Burrow remains one of the most prolific quarterbacks for fantasy purposes due in large part to his team's shoddy defense, a pattern that could persist in a Week 11 visit to the Chargers on Sunday, Nov. 17.

2021
2020
Burrow led the league in on-target percentage (76.7) for the second year in a row last season and finished second in completion percentage (68.3). Those marks were actually down a bit from the previous year, which is a bit surprising considering Burrow severely curtailed his downfield game. After throwing 20-plus yards on 12.5 percent of his attempts in 2021, Burrow went downfield only 7.5 percent of the time last season (30th). Instead, he went short, as his percentage of passes behind the line of scrimmage jumped to 19.6 percent. His counting stats, more or less, held steady, and he finished QB4 in fantasy with some help from five touchdown runs and 257 rushing yards. Burrow was still good at throwing deep -- he tied Geno Smith with the highest on-target rate on 20-plus yard attempts at 60.0 percent -- but his average target depth was just 7.5 yards (23rd). One apparent reason for the increase in dump-offs was a rebuilt offensive line that often did not live up to preseason hopes. However, the Bengals signed standout left tackle Orlando Brown this offseason, moving Jonah Williams to right tackle, which should help (provided Williams isn’t traded as he’s demanded). Burrow's top three wide receivers return, led by Ja'marr Chase, while Irv Smith is replacing Hayden Hurst at tight end. Better efficiency can help Burrow stay in the top 5 of fantasy QBs even with some expected regression in his rushing TDs.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be without Higgins vs. Philly
Burrow could be without Tee Higgins for Sunday's game against the Eagles due to a quadriceps injury, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Higgins missed the first two games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury, and he is now listed as questionable for Sunday's game after he injured his quadriceps during Friday's practice. Burrow has found more success in the passing game since Higgins' return, as the latter has opened the field for fellow wideout Ja'Marr Chase and the rest of the Bengals' offense. If Higgins cannot play, the Eagles' defense would hone in more on Chase, and Burrow would have to turn to Andrei Iosivas, Erick All, Mike Gesicki and Jermaine Burton to collectively make up for Higgins' production.
