Davis Mattek notes Joe Burrow is dealing with a back twinge and criticizes his decision-making on the field, comparing his reckless play to Anthony Richardson, but remains comfortable playing him in DFS.NegativeDepth ChartJun 7, 2026
Joe Burrow was drafted at pick 51, earlier than typical quarterback ADP, in a DraftKings format where quarterback selections can be unpredictable.PositiveValueMay 30, 2026
Joe Burrow is considered as the second elite QB in Davis Mattek's double elite QB strategy, with Mattek stating 'I think I might even take Joe Burrow at pick 51 just for the sake of this experiment.' At 6.1% ADP, Burrow is right about at market with other elite QBs. Mattek argues that elite-tier QBs are better values than mid-tier QBs given compressed QB pricing; QB5 goes at pick 69.5 while QB16 goes at pick 104, making top-tier QBs relatively less expensive than the mid-tier. In the actual draft, Mattek hoped to acquire Burrow at pick 70 as part of a Ja'Marr Chase stack strategy, but Burrow was drafted earlier (pick 60) by another team, forcing a pivot to Dak Prescott.NegativeProjectionMay 23, 2026
Burrow has finished as QB3, QB4, QB9, and QB12 in points per game across recent seasons and is consistently very good for fantasy. He adds rushing value, though that rushing production is expected to decline with age. The Bengals employ a pass-heavy offensive scheme, which supports Burrow's fantasy value despite ongoing injury concerns and offensive line questions.NegativeValueNo date

Joe Burrow is unlikely to be taken at picks 60-61 due to ADP concerns, and has virtually no chance of falling back to pick 84.
