Joe Burrow

Fantasy Advice

Stud. Confidence runs high with Burrow and he backs it up. Not expected to run much but he did score 5 TD on the ground last year. Awesome receiving talent. It will be interesting to see if the team retains Joe Mixon by restructuring his contract. RB depth behind him is, in a word, yikes. Regardless, there isn't a lot of downside with Burrow. 8/14: Caution flag added for a calf injury which is keeping Burrow on the sidelines through camp and preseason. He is expected t be ready for the start of the season.

Joe Burrow Listed As Full Practice Participant

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice for the first time since the week of the Baltimore Ravens game in Week 2. However, the Bengals only held a walkthrough practice on Wednesday, so his status was an estimation. The 26-year-old strained his calf at the beginning of training camp and missed all of the preseason before aggravating the injury in Week 2. He gutted it out in the Monday night win over the Los Angeles Rams, but his mobility was very limited and he didn't look good by any means while throwing for 259 yards with no touchdowns and one interception on a great play by a Rams defensive back. The good news about Week 3 is he was finally able to get top wideout Ja'Marr Chase involved. Burrow should get better as the season progresses and his calf injury gets put behind him, but for now, he's more of a low-end QB1 in fantasy.

Joe Burrow Guts Out Calf Issue In Close Victory

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) completed 26-of-49 attempts for 259 yards and one interception in Monday's narrow 19-16 win over the Los Angeles Rams. Cincinnati's game plan called for a hobbled Burrow to get the ball out quick despite a zone-heavy Rams defense that wasn't sending much heat for most of the night. It was a sleepy first half for the entire Bengals offense, and the 26-year-old's mostly rhythmless start to the year dragged into this one for a pitiful 5.3 yards per attempt on 49 throws. Burrow's pick came on a great fourth-quarter play by Ahkello Witherspoon to keep LA within striking distance when it seemed Cincy was about to pull away. Look for Burrow and the Bengals to try and open up the air attack in a prime opportunity to do so in Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans defense, which has nearly surrendered three consecutive 300-yard passing days to open the season.

Joe Burrow Officially Active On Monday Night

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) is officially active on Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams after being listed as questionable to play. Burrow aggravated his right-calf strain in Week 2, an injury that kept him out for all of training camp and the preseason. The 26-year-old was able to do enough throughout the week to convince the coaching staff to let him play, though. Burrow probably isn't 100 percent, however, and fantasy managers that started him the first two weeks of the season probably should have gone in another direction to be safe. The Bengals will try to keep Burrow out of harm's way as much as possible, which could mean a bigger workload for lead back Joe Mixon in this one.

Optimism Surrounding Joe Burrow's Monday Night Status

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) went through a workout on Monday morning and there is optimism that he will play and that his status for Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Rams is trending in the right direction, according to sources. Burrow is campaigning with the coaching staff and trainers to play, but his status remains uncertain. Burrow's final status for Week 3 will become official soon. If the 26-year-old is inactive, backup Jake Browning would start for the Bengals, which would be a big downgrade for all of the team's offensive skill players in terms of fantasy upside. Burrow missed all of training camp and the preseason because of his calf injury, and it's led to a slow start for the entire Bengals offense.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) is still uncertain for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. The signal-caller is a true game-time decision with a calf strain that he aggravated last week.

Joe Burrow Will Be Game-Time Decision Monday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) is expected to be a game-time decision for Week 3 versus the Los Angeles Rams. According to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, Burrow's pre-game workout will decide whether or not he suits up. His status remains a true question mark, but given that Burrow doesn't play until Monday, it would be wise for fantasy managers to make backup plans. Pulling Burrow, the QB32 overall in fantasy football, from lineups on Sunday allows for managers to find his replacement within a larger list of candidates. On the other hand, waiting until Monday night comes with risk, because if he's ruled out, managers will have to pivot to Matthew Stafford or Baker Mayfield.

Joe Burrow Is Questionable For MNF In Week 3

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) is questionable for Monday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3. Head coach Zac Taylor told reporters on Saturday that "we'll see" in regard to Burrow playing or not. The Bengals also worked out and signed veteran QB AJ McCarron to their practice squad, which would indicate that Burrow truly is questionable after re-aggravating his calf in Week 2. Although the team hasn't released their final injury report at this time, beat writer Jay Morrison stated that Burrow will be listed as questionable. Fantasy managers that roster Burrow should already have a backup plan in place in case the fourth-year QB can't go on MNF. All of the Cincinnati pass-catchers, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd would be downgraded if Jake Browning ends up starting under center on MNF.

Joe Burrow Limited In Friday's Practice

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) was a limited participant in Friday's practice. Burrow didn't do anything on Wednesday after aggravating a right-calf injury in the Week 2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens that caused him to miss all of training camp and the preseason this summer. The return to practice gives the 26-year-old a chance to play on Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams, but we'll know more about Burrow's status on Saturday. Cincinnati isn't going to put their franchise signal-caller in harm's way, so fantasy managers should consider him an extremely risky QB1 play for the week with the Bengals contest coming on Monday. If Burrow is held out, Jake Browning would run the offense, which in turn would make all of Cincy's offensive skills players hard to trust.

Joe Burrow Doesn't Practice Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) did not take part in practice on Thursday. Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that the team will take it "day-to-day" with Borrow after he aggravated a calf injury in the Week 2 loss that kept him out for all of training camp and the preseason, and Burrow himself said "we'll see" when asked if he'll play on Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams. Burrow's calf injury and inactivity this summer is a big reason why Cincy's offense has gotten off to a slow start, and that may not chance for a while if he's forced to miss additional time. If you drafted the 26-year-old hoping he'd be your starter each and every week, you should already be searching for an insurance policy in Week 3, especially with the Bengals' game not coming until Monday this week. If Burrow misses Monday's game, Jake Browning would make the start under center.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) participated in Thursday's practice and was seen wearing a sleeve on his right calf. The 26-year-old strained the calf during training camp in July and missed most of the preseason as a result. So far this season, Burrow has struggled to live up to the expectations placed on him after signing his 5-year, $275 million contract extension just before the Bengals' season started. Through the first two weeks, Burrow has 304 passing yards and has completed 57% of his passes, leading to speculation that the calf injury may be hampering his performance. Burrow is considered day-to-day and is questionable for his Week 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

Joe Burrow Feeling Better After Aggravating Calf In Week 2

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) has apparently been feeling better the last few days after aggravating his strained calf in Sunday's Week 2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, per Mike Garafolo. The Bengals play on Monday night so they won't begin practicing until Thursday so the extra day of rest should help Burrow, Garafolo noted. While it's encouraging to hear that he's feeling better, this calf issue is likely to linger throughout the season. To make matters worse, NFL insider Ian Rapoport noted that "we are not going to get a 100% healthy Joe Burrow, probably for some time" while speaking on Good Morning Football on Wednesday morning. This could just come down to pain tolerance for the fourth-year quarterback. However, even if he's able to tough it out and play through the pain, he's not nearly as effective as a passer with a bum calf. The Bengals will release their practice report on Thursday but fantasy managers that roster Burrow would be wise to have a backup plan in case Cincinnati decides to rest their franchise QB in favor of backup Jake Browning on MNF against the Los Angeles Rams.

Burrow apparently tweaked a right-calf injury in the Week 2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens that he's been dealing with since early in training camp. With the Bengals not playing until Monday night this week, Burrow's injury could make fantasy managers' decisions very tough. At the very least, you should have a backup QB in place just in case it doesn't look good for Burrow later this week. The 26-year-old and the Bengals got off to another slow start on Sunday, but he managed to go 27-for-41 for 222 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

Deals Likely To Follow Joe Burrow's Impending Extension

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow arrived at training camp, despite an offseason filled with talk of a new contract. There isn't any doubt an extension will get done for the former LSU Tiger. However, according to Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer, other deals will be on hold until the signal-caller signs on the dotted line. Burrow finished last season by throwing for 4,475 yards, 35 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. He also completed 68.3% of his attempts and found the end zone five times on the run, making him a top fantasy signal-caller. The 26-year-old has made it known he wants to remain surrounded by Ja'Marr Chase and company. But until his deal is official, wide receiver Tee Higgins and linebacker Logan Wilson will need to wait.

However, Burrow had passes batted at a higher percentage when using play-action out of the shotgun last year than not.
