From the episode

Joe Burrow getting hurt is the only thing I'm worried about. And you should be worried about that. I mean, it happens like every 10 minutes, but I think that it feels a little bit sturdier this year than it has felt.

STACKED’s take

Burrow's durability is the key risk for Bengals' 11-win projection.

The source is concerned about Joe Burrow's injury history, noting that injuries happen frequently but believing he feels sturdier this year. The speaker projects the Bengals to win 11 games if Burrow plays 14-15 games, with the team's 18th-best defense, Jamar Chase, and T Higgins supporting the projection despite a terrible schedule.
