QB Joe Burrow HYPE TRAIN THREAD

Burrow is currently being drafted as QB16, behind declining veterans like Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, and Tom Brady.

Let me tell you why Burrow will finish as a Top-10 #FantasyFootball QB in his rookie season.

Burrow has a terrific supporting cast on offense. 

Alpha WR1 A.J. Green
Stud slot WR Tyler Boyd
Contested catch specialist WR Tee Higgins
Deep threat WR John Ross
Franchise back RB Joe Mixon

The Bengals offense checks off every box for the passing game besides TE.

The Bengals defense projects to be one of the worst units in the NFL. As a rebuilding team, they'll likely be playing from behind often. This puts Burrow in favourable game script situations, where he will have to air it out to keep pace in shootouts.

Burrow had one of the best seasons in NCAA history, which makes him one of the most pro-ready prospects in recent memory. His work ethic and football IQ are highly regarded, so we can expect head coach Zac Taylor to allow him to play freely without any typical rookie constraints.

Burrow rushed for 300+ yards for consecutive seasons at LSU, including a combined 12 touchdowns. This rushing output will raise his floor and ceiling as a pro. We can conservatively project 200 rushing yards in his rookie season.

The Bengals ranked 22nd in strength of schedule by @SharpFootball, but they have some terrific matchups down the stretch.

W11: at WAS
W12: vs NYG
W13: at MIA
W14: vs DAL
W16: at HOU

5/6 games look promising. Burrow will be in several championship-winning lineups.

The Bengals offensive line ranked 30th by @PFF in the NFL, but the team gets 2018 first round OT Jonah Williams back from injury, which should provide a boost. Burrow's mobility can also mask deficiencies on the o-line.

SUMMARY:

Strong supporting cast
Weak defense
Pro-ready
Rushing yardage
Prime playoff matchups
Improved o-line

You have all of the ingredients for a strong fantasy season.

Burrow will finish in the Top-10 QBs as a rookie.
