Joe Burrow is UNPLAYABLE

    The Cincinnati Bengals are off to a 1-3 start and Joe Burrow has not looked like the quarterback he once was. Some will say his calf injury is the reason, some will say Zac Taylor is not a good offensive coach, some will say the offensive line is BAD, and some have no idea what is going on in Cincinnati. All the Bengals have taken a step back and their fantasy positions are decreasing from years past. But Joe Burrow only has 2 touchdown passes through 4 games, and those 2 both came against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2. Joe Burrow is the QB31 in fantasy football, only in front of Bryce Young for starting quarterbacks in the NFL. Baker Mayfield, Joshua Dobbs, and Zach Wilson are all better fantasy quarterbacks this year. Lets take a look at his weapons and compare their fantasy results this season. Starting with Ja'Marr Chase as he is WR21 who finished as WR12 in 2022 and WR5 in 2021. Tee Higgins is WR50 who finished as WR18 in 2022 and WR24 in 2021. Tyler Boyd is also WR64 and has not had 15 points in a fantasy matchup this year. Joe Mixon is RB20 who finished as RB10 in 2022 and RB4 in 2021. Joe Burrow has produced 2 top 25 fantasy WRs and 1 top 10 fantasy RB every year he has played in the NFL. This does not include 2020 because he got hurt this year and could not finish the year as the starter. Joe Burrow has looked bad this year and with Tee Higgins has a rib fracture potentially missing some time. I would pick up CJ Stroud or Russell Wilson who are both available in 50% of leagues on Sleeper right now.
