Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz on Joe Burrow

QB5 with elite healthy upside but chronic injury concerns limit ceiling vs. dual-threat QBs.

Ian Hartitz ranks Joe Burrow QB5 overall. When healthy, he has elite upside (averaged 21.9 fantasy points per game in 2022 and 2024), but injury history is a major concern—he played through a calf issue in 2023 before being knocked out, and missed time in 2024 until Thanksgiving. Hartitz notes that when Burrow is forced to work at 80-90% of himself, production is rough, and he struggles to offer 25+ fantasy points per game upside compared to dual-threat QBs in traditional four-point passing TD leagues; he'd rank higher in five or six-point passing TD leagues.
