STACKED’s take
Burrow's QB9 ranking masks mediocre efficiency; expect limited upside vs. Steelers.
Burrow is QB20 in scoring through two weeks despite being drafted as a top-shelf option and ranked QB9 in expert consensus rankings (ECR). Among 33 quarterbacks with at least 20 dropbacks, Burrow ranks 13th in passing yards per game (230.5), 19th in adjusted net yards per pass attempt (6.14 ANY/A), tied for 14th in passing touchdowns (three), 10th in expected passing touchdowns (3.5), and 21st in rushing yards per game (9.5). The Bengals are just fifth in pass rate over expected (6.3% PROE) this year, down from tied for first (7.9%) from 2023–2025. Cincinnati's improved defense and a matchup against the washed-up Aaron Rodgers-led Steelers make a shootout unlikely. The Bengals are 3.5-point favorites with an implied total of 23.0 points. The source advises most gamers should start Burrow in 12-team leagues but should temper expectations.
