Joe Burrow completed 29-of-39 passes for 236 yards and three touchdowns with a pick in the Bengals' 20-18 loss to the Browns.

Burrow had himself a nice day against the Cleveland defense when all was said and done. He had an interception returned for a touchdown, putting a big blemish on his day. Still, for fantasy he was fine, and he should be a solid QB1 in 2026.

Joe Burrow will start for the Bengals in Week 18 against the Browns. HC Zac Taylor said Burrow gives them the "best chance to win."

It's true, Burrow gives them the best chance to win and to end the season on a high note. However, one must question whether starting Burrow in a meaningless Week 18 game is a good choice. Regardless of the validity of the idea, he's a strong start.

Joe Burrow completed 24-of-31 passes for 305 yards and two touchdowns in the Bengals 37-14 win over the Cardinals.

Burrow picked a part the Cardinals secondary all afternoon that continues to be battling huge injuries to starters. He was taken out of the game early in the fourth quarter. He'll likely play in Week 18 against the Browns to close the season.
