Fantasy football: Where to draft Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow

Analyzing Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow’s 2024 fantasy football ADP and where to target him in fantasy drafts.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow has been impressive since joining the NFL in 2020. Burrow was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. He had a season-ending injury as a rookie and responded by winning the 2021 AP Comeback Player of the Year. He was hurt again last season and only played 10 games. Burrow has been to 1 Pro Bowl in his 4 seasons and has played more than 10 games just twice. Below, we look at Joe Burrow’s 2024 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.

Entering 2024, Burrow is expected to take another step forward with a slew of top receivers in the NFL. If he stays healthy, Burrow could easily be a top-5 QB in the league in terms of fantasy value.

(ADP data courtesy of MyFantasyLeague.com; last updated at time of this publishing – ADPs continually change as more drafts occur)

Burrow’s 53.34 ADP in redraft leagues places him in the range of the 5th to 7th round, depending on the size and format of the league. The Bengals’ top receiver Ja’Marr Chase ranks 8th overall with a 7.51 ADP.

Among quarterbacks, Burrow’s ADP puts him 6th at the position, behind Indianapolis’ Anthony Richardson (49.05), Houston’s C.J. Stroud (46.65) and Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson (36.24). Arizona’s Kyler Murray (59.68) is 7th and is followed by Dallas’ Dak Prescott (60.66) and Green Bay’s Jordan Love (62.76).

Where should you draft Burrow?

Burrow’s fantasy value should get a boost from his starting out healthy and being ready to roll. The Bengals upgraded their defense and added TE Mike Gesicki. However, the main concern is Cincinnati is still its offensive line and if it can protect Burrow enough to make him among the best fantasy options in the league.

Chase and company are elite weapons, and Burrow has proven, with them in the fold, he can be one of the most productive quarterbacks in the NFL. He’ll have a new offensive coordinator as well, although the playbook will likely not vary much.

According to Pro Football-Reference.com, Burrow ranked 8th in 2021 and 4th in 2022 for fantasy QBs — when he played the full season. His peak is without a doubt there, but so are the clear concerns over his healthy and how durable he will be without a major offensive line improvement.

Draft Burrow in the 2nd round of 2-QB leagues and then in late 5th or early 6th round once quarterbacks start to fly off the board. He’s a top option, but the injury concerns are too great to make him a stellar option.

Fantasy football: Where to draft Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins

Analyzing Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins’ 2022 fantasy football ADP and where you should target him in your drafts.

Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins has been impressive in his first 2 NFL seasons. Selected 33rd overall in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Clemson, Higgins was 1 of the many assets the Bengals possessed in their historic 2021 season that took them all the way to Super Bowl 56.

Higgins brought an average of 77.9 receiving yards per game (YPG) to the table, the 8th most receiving YPG for the 2021 season. Below, we look at Tee Higgins’ 2022 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.

Coming off a Super Bowl appearance, the future is only brighter for Higgins and this Bengals squad.

Tee Higgins’ ADP: 37.29

(ADP data courtesy of MyFantasyLeague.com; last updated at time of this publishing – ADPs continually change as more drafts occur)

Higgins has an ADP of 37.29 in redraft leagues, which puts him in the range of the 3rd to 4th round, depending on the size of the league. Though Higgins brings a lot to the table, his ADP is far less than teammates Joe Mixon (15.58) and Ja’Marr Chase (9.65).

Among wide receivers, Higgins’ ADP puts him 12th at the position, behind the likes of Keenan Allen (Los Angeles Chargers), A.J. Brown (Philadelphia Eagles) and Mike Evans (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and slightly ahead of Michael Pittman Jr. (Indianapolis Colts) and D.J. Moore (Carolina Panthers).

Tee Higgins’ 2021 stats

Games: 14

Receptions | targets: 74 | 110

Receiving yards: 1,091

Receiving touchdowns: 6

Where should you draft Higgins?

Higgins has a solid ADP, but you could argue it is a tad inflated coming off his first 1,000-yard season.

Higgins is getting drafted higher than players like Moore and Pittman, two No. 1 options with the latter in what should be an offense void of many elite weapons.

While you could argue that Higgins will excel while teammate Chase gets the bulk of double coverages, I would wait until the mid-to-late 4th. The value just isn’t there for the league’s best No. 2 receiver.

Additionally, the Bengals have 1 of the more difficult schedules and will play elite secondaries like Baltimore and Cleveland (both ranked as top-3 secondaries) at least twice each.

Higgins is going to get the snaps, and he could build off a successful 2nd season, but I don’t see him having a better season than many players around his ADP.

I would hang on and secure Higgins near the end of the 4th round if possible.

Fantasy football: Where to draft Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase

Analyzing Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase’s 2022 fantasy football ADP and where you should target him in your drafts.

Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase was everything Bengals fans dreamed of last season.

After being selected 5th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, fans were in suspense if the chemistry between Chase and his former LSU teammate, QB Joe Burrow, would continue.

Below, we look at Ja’Marr Chase‘s 2022 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him. Though Chase is coming off his rookie season, he already has an extensive resume.

Chase has Super Bowl and Pro Bowl appearances under his belt. On top of that, he was voted AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, PFWA Offensive Rookie of the Year, and Sporting News Rookie of the Year.

Ja’Marr Chase ADP: 9.65

(ADP data courtesy of MyFantasyLeague.com; last updated at time of this publishing – ADPs continually change as more drafts occur)

Chase has an ADP of 9.65 in redraft leagues, which puts him in the 1st round of draft picks, unless it’s an 8-team league or smaller. His ADP is the highest of all Cincinnati Bengals players.

Among wide receivers, Chase’s ADP puts him 3rd at the position, behind  Justin Jefferson (Minnesota Vikings) and Cooper Kupp (Los Angeles Rams).

Chase places ahead of Davante Adams (Las Vegas Raiders) as well as his  teammate Tee Higgins (37.29 ADP).

Ja’Marr Chase’s 2021 stats

Games: 17

Receptions | targets: 81 | 128

Receiving yards: 1,455

Receiving touchdowns: 13

Where should you draft Chase?

Chase’s fantasy value is astronomical and rightfully so coming off one of the best rookie seasons in NFL history. Chase is expected to be the premier deep threat for a dynamic Bengals offense.

The offense should get even better with the addition of 2 veteran offensive linemen. The hope is that will free up more time for Burrow to connect with Chase, but it will also increase what RB Joe Mixon is capable of.

Chase is going to get all the snaps he can handle and should see well over 128 targets. However, with the Ravens and Browns, both top-3 secondaries, on the calendar for 4 of the 17 games, I would be hesitant to pick Chase in the top 10.

My favorite play would be Chase at 11 or 12 and then a top-tier running back like Lions RB D’Andre Swift in the early 2nd round.

While the potential is there, the boom-or-bust nature of Chase should dwindle as his popularity grows, and he sees increased coverage. He’s still a 1st-round pick, but I wouldn’t take him in the top 10.
