Fantasy football Joe Burrow injury fallout, replacement QBs - ESPN

The Cincinnati Bengals will be without Joe Burrow for the next three months, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Burrow was fantasy football's consensus No. 5 quarterback in preseason drafts and the Bengals offense was expected to provide opportunities for Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Chase Brown to star on fantasy rosters. In addition, Chase was the consensus No.1 player picked in ESPN Fantasy drafts. So what now?

To help you navigate this injury, we've aggregated all of the fantasy-relevant information published on ESPN.com since the severity of the injury was first reported.

Don't assume that whoever starts under center for the Bengals next week needs to be your Burrow replacement, either. Here's what Eric Karabell had to say about in our weekly waiver wire column.

«We start with this career backup, but many fantasy managers can do better in single-QB formats. Browning, 29, made seven starts during the 2023 season, and he played capably… in Sunday's win over the Jaguars, though that included three interceptions. He gets to throw to excellent WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and RB Chase Brown isn't so bad, either. Still, he may be more for the SuperFlex/2QB community. The Bengals play challenging opponents in Minnesota and Denver over the next two weeks.»

In fact, Tristan H. Cockcroft, who tracks positional strength of schedule for his weekly Matchup maps, noted in Week 2 winners and losers that the injury «comes at a terrible time in the schedule for the quarterback, with games against the Vikings, Broncos, Lions and Packers in the next four weeks representing the position's toughest upcoming slate.»
