Joe Burrow

In his first game back, Burrow finished as the QB11 for the week. The high-end moments were there as Burrow had an 8.7% hero throw rate, while he also had spots where the rust was evident. Burrow also had only a 56.5% highly accurate throw rate and a 67.4% catchable target rate. Burrow will round back into form with more snaps in the coming weeks. This week will be a good litmus test. The Bills' pass defense has been one of the best in the league for the last few weeks. Since Week 9, Buffalo has allowed the eighth-fewest yards per attempt, the second-lowest passer rating, the tenth-fewest passing touchdowns (tied), and the second-lowest CPOE. Burrow could still be a QB1 this week, but he'll need to raise the bar of his play-to-play consistency quickly.

Joe Burrow (toe) is off of the injury report for Week 14's game against the Buffalo Bills.

Fantasy Impact

Burrow made his return to the lineup on Thanksgiving last week after missing most of the season due to a toe injury. He is now off of the team's injury report entirely and should be good to go moving forward, which adds a nice level of confidence to his fantasy outlook for the remainder of the regular season.
