Ceiling: If things fall in their favor, how big can they hit in 2026?
Risk: A subjective ranking based on injuries, surrounding injuries, coaching changes, how proven a player is, age, and other factors that bring on uncertainty
Over the last four seasons, when Burrow has been healthy, he's been a top-four fantasy QB. Being healthy has been more of a challenge for the Bengals QB, however. Last season showed both. He dealt with injury from Week 2 to 12 before ripping off five QB1 games in his last six weeks. Cincinnati is a pass-first team, and has shown to be no matter how good or bad its defense has been. Burrow still averaged 38 passing attempts with a top-10 defense in 2022 and since 2021, averages 0.1 fewer PPG when his team holds the opponent under 25 points, compared to when they allow over 25. Volume and skill shouldn't be a problem; it's more about health and how cautious he is on the ground coming off another lower-body injury.
