Joe Burrow Ready For AFC North Showdown In Week 1

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will begin the year with an AFC North showdown against the Steelers. The 25-year-old played relatively well in his two meetings versus Pittsburgh last season, accumulating 362 yards and four touchdowns (two picks) while completing 81% of his throws. With a mid-summer appendectomy behind him, he'll have Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Joe Mixon to help him ease back into things, even if he isn't 100%. As an added bonus, the Bengals also have a revamped offensive line, which should keep the 2020 No. 1 overall pick vertical much more than last season. All things considered, managers drafted Burrow as a top signal-caller for a reason, so he should be starting in every fantasy format imaginable.
