There isn't a more overhyped quarterback in the NFL or fantasy football than Joseph Lee Burrow. The 29-year-old has missed at least half a dozen games in three of six NFL seasons. Burrow has been sacked 40-plus times three times behind an offensive line that remains a question mark.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Burrow's QB4 ADP is overhyped; injury history (missed games in 3 of 6 seasons) and sack issues limit upside.

Burrow is overhyped as QB4 by ADP despite elite passing statistics and weapons. While he led the NFL in passing yards (4,918) and passing scores (43) in 2024, topped 4,500 passing yards twice, and earned three Pro Bowls, he lacks rushing upside and must replicate his 2024 season to return value. At 29 years old, Burrow has missed at least half a dozen games in three of six NFL seasons and been sacked 40-plus times three times behind a questionable offensive line, making him a risky bust candidate.
