The Ringer Fantasy Football Show on Joe Burrow

Burrow's midweek back injury makes him a fringe starter; injury history compounds concern.

Burrow has a midweek back issue that popped up after getting hit by Alex Anzalone on Sunday; he seems likely to play but the source is skeptical of his performance. The source notes Burrow is benchable this week because he doesn't like Burrow with back issues versus the Texans, and Burrow is less mobile than Josh Allen. Burrow is ranked as a fringe starter (12th quarterback) in their rankings. Burrow has a history of injuries: missed half a season three times (turf toe last year, wrist injury, ACL), plus appendectomy, strained calf, finger injuries, and knee injuries.
