News: 1 day agoBurrow completed 19 of 28 pass attempts for 208 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Giants. He added four rushes for 55 yards and a touchdown.

Spin: Burrow got off to a hot start in an unconventional way, as he scrambled for a 47-yard touchdown on the Bengals' opening drive. The quarterback wasn't as impressive as a passer, as Burrow was consistently under pressure and struggled to sustain long drives. Entering the contest, he had multiple touchdowns in four straight games while topping 300 passing yards twice in his last three matchups, so there's no reason to panic over the lackluster showing Sunday night.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Heading into his fifth pro season, Burrow looks to rebound after an injury-plagued 2023 that limited his production and availability. A calf injury during training camp forced Burrow to miss practice time, while a wrist injury in Week 11 shut him down for the season. From Weeks 1-4, with Burrow clearly still impacted by the calf injury, he averaged only 7.9 fantasy points per game. However, from Weeks 5-10, he posted three games of 22 or more points, with an average of 21.4 points during that stretch. With two big-play receivers in Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, a healthy Burrow should be in the mix to produce top-five quarterback numbers in the Bengals' pass-heavy offense.
