Liz Loza is letting leaguemates draft Joe Burrow instead, indicating she is not overly keen on drafting him this season.NegativeValueJul 15, 2026
Burrow is the fifth QB off the board with an ADP of 56.9, but the source argues this is an unnecessary gamble given his injury history and lack of rushing upside. Burrow has managed only three seasons of 10+ games played and three seasons of 10 or fewer games; his aggressive playing style combined with the Bengals' bottom-five pass protection (57.6% pass block win rate, 28th in league) creates constant durability risk. Additionally, Burrow derived only 3% of his fantasy production from rushing (330 yards over three seasons) while 12 QBs cleared 340 rushing yards in 2025 alone and 12 of the top 15 QB producers collected 16%+ of points via ground game. The source states Burrow would need to replicate his 2024 campaign or achieve a career effort (4,800 yards, 45 TDs like Matthew Stafford) to justify his ADP, making him an unnecessary risk when positional depth offers better value.
