Joe Burrow

For a rookie QB to come in last season and put up the type of numbers that Burrow did is extremely exciting. While the injury certainly places a bit of concern over Burrow's 2021 outlook, all signs are pointing to him being fully healthy and ready for Week 1. With Chase now in town, plus the other receiving options and a revamped offensive line, Burrow has everything he needs to be successful for fantasy football in 2021. This is going to be a fun offense to watch and they're going to put up some crazy numbers. If you miss out on one of the top-tier QB options in your draft, don't panic. Draft Burrow and feel great about getting him at a discount this season because of the injury.

Joe Burrow (knee) ‘all systems go’ for Week 1

Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting that Bengals QB Joe Burrow (knee) is “all systems go” for Week 1 against the Vikings.

Fantasy Impact

According to Dr. Neal ElAttrache (who operated on Burrow in December) of Kerlan-Jobe in Los Angeles, Bengals QB Joe Burrow is “all systems go” for Week 1 against the Vikings. “He's on track for full go for the start of the season," said ElAttrache. "He's doing all the work. He's worked his tail off and been an amazingly mature participant in his recovery. He's focused and great to work with." This is excellent news for Burrow and the Bengals' offense. The No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft is progressing well in his recovery from knee surgery and is expected to return in Week 1. Burrow completed 264 passes for 2,688 yards and a 13:5 TD: INT ratio across 10 games in 2020. The 24-year-old is currently 11th among all quarterbacks in the latest expert consensus rankings.
