Video: Not Him
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told reporters that he is dealing with quote unquote back tightness, but he expects to play Sunday at Houston against the Texans... If Joe Burrow is on your waiverwire, you send Mai Lemon into the sun. You tell him bye forever and you pick up Joe Burrow.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Burrow: back tightness (playing), elite QB value, strong waiver pickup, trade asset.

Top-end quarterback with multiple actionable angles: (1) Dealing with back tightness but expects to play Sunday vs Houston Texans; something to monitor but not considered a major concern at this time. (2) Important to have elite QB in 2WR/1 flex format where RB/WR depth matters less. (3) Strong waiver wire pickup recommendation over current QB options; if available, should be acquired without hesitation; enables matchup flexibility with Drake May going forward until AJ Brown returns. (4) Identified as potential trade asset to upgrade running back and wide receiver positions; consider selling Burrow if Roma Odor and Travis Etienne don't show improvement in week two, especially given injury concerns on the roster.
