Joe Burrow's injury history and cost make him a fade in standard leagues despite elite weapons.

Burrow is a clearer case of cost vs. risk than Daniels. While the weapons (Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins) and projected bad Bengals defense (forcing shootouts) are appealing on paper, the cost is prohibitive. At his ADP, there are other high-end options with less risk: Caleb Williams in his second year in Ben Johnson's offense or Dak Prescott, who still has the Cowboys humming. Recent injury history makes Burrow not a true league-winner at current cost in standard four-point passing TD leagues. Exception: in old-school six-point passing TD formats, the source's projections have Burrow pegged to lead the league in passing touchdowns by a considerable margin, making the risk more palatable.

Joe Burrow is probably an even clearer case of cost vs. risk than Daniels. I love the player. I love the weapons in Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. The Bengals defense still projects to be bad, which should put plenty of pressure on Burrow to push the ball downfield and keep them in shootouts. On paper, that's exactly what we want in fantasy. The problem is the cost.
