Fantasy Impact
The Bengals make one of the easiest fifth-year option decisions in the 2020 NFL Draft class, bringing Burrow back for a fifth year in 2024. Burrow has back-to-back finishes as a QB1 and will likely be a top fantasy QB for years to come. Burrow heads into Year 4 of his NFL career and will make just under $30 million guaranteed in his 2024 season.
