The first is a back issue that led to two limited practices during the week before he got in a full practice on Friday. While Burrow is expected to play, we know back problems can be sporadic and impact a quarterback's accuracy. We also have the matchup with the Texans to consider. Though Josh Allen was able to carve them up, there are no guarantees a less-than-100% Burrow will have the same success versus one of the better defenses in the league. I'm treating Burrow as a volatile high-end fantasy QB2 this week.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Burrow's back injury and Texans' strong defense warrant QB2 treatment despite weapons.

While Burrow is often matchup-proof with weapons like Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Chase Brown, there are reasons to consider another option this week. A back issue led to two limited practices during the week before he got in a full practice on Friday; while Burrow is expected to play, back problems can be sporadic and impact accuracy. The Texans are also one of the better defenses in the league. Burrow is treated as a volatile high-end fantasy QB2 this week.
