Coming off a QB1 overall week, Joe Burrow is looking to continue his elite play against the Titans this week. The Titans have been the worst team in the league all season and have given up the seventh-most rushing yards per game. Thankfully for Burrow, the Bengals have not been able to run the ball, averaging the third-fewest rushing yards per game. As a result, Burrow should pick apart this defense that is allowing the 9th most passing yards. Interestingly, they are allowing the 12th fewest fantasy points to the position and the fewest passing touchdowns. I expect this is more a testament to abysmal run defense, than it is a positive for their passing defense. As a result, Burrow remains a top option at the QB position.

Joe Burrow throws five TDs, three INTs in Week 8 win

Joe Burrow completed 38 of his 48 passes for 462 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions while adding three rushes for 10 yards and a touchdown on the ground in a 43-36 overtime win over the Titans in Week 8.

Fantasy Impact

Burrow turned in a huge game as the Titans surprisingly gave the Bengals all they could handle. The Cincy quarterback is heating up of late as he's thrown 13 touchdowns over his past three contests. Overall, Burrow has 20 touchdowns and six interceptions through seven games. He will be a high-end QB1 in Week 8 vs. the Falcons.
