QB5 with elite healthy upside but chronic injury concerns limit ceiling vs. dual-threat QBs.
Joe BurrowQBCIN
Ian Hartitz ranks Joe Burrow QB5 overall. When healthy, he has elite upside (averaged 21.9 fantasy points per game in 2022 and 2024), but injury history is a major concern—he played through a calf issue in 2023 before being knocked out, and missed time in 2024 until Thanksgiving. Hartitz notes that when Burrow is forced to work at 80-90% of himself, production is rough, and he struggles to offer 25+ fantasy points per game upside compared to dual-threat QBs in traditional four-point passing TD leagues; he'd rank higher in five or six-point passing TD leagues.

I got Joe Burrow coming in as my QB5 overall... When he's healthy, guys, nobody has a better chance to lead the league in yards and touchdowns... had to play through that calf issue in 2023 before he was knocked out for the season... last year obviously had the week 2 issue which kept him out until he got back in Thanksgiving
