Landing Burrow as a mid-tier QB1 fits my philosophy on getting value at the position. Sure, there are availability concerns with Burrow (he missed at least seven games in two of his past three seasons). But in playing the full 2024 season, Burrow scored 21.9 fantasy PPG and threw 43 touchdown passes. That's who I'm drafting here, the league's best pocket passer, with two premier targets in WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. I think Burrow will produce top-three QB numbers this season.

Burrow projects for top-three QB numbers with elite weapons and mid-tier ADP value.

Burrow scored 21.9 fantasy PPG in 2024 with 43 touchdown passes; JJ Zachariason expects top-three QB numbers this season despite availability concerns (missed at least seven games in two of past three seasons). Landing Burrow as a mid-tier QB1 fits Zachariason's philosophy on getting value at the position, with two premier targets in WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
