Should I Start Joe Burrow?

Thursday, September 17, 2:07 PM

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (back) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Thursday for the second day in a row this week, according to Jay Morrison of BengalsTalk.com. Bengals came down with some back tightness after the Week 1 season-opening win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, and although he has not been a full participant yet, the 29-year-old did more on Thursday and looks to be on track to be fine for the Week 2 tilt in Houston against the Texans this Sunday. The three-time Pro Bowler and former first overall pick out of LSU in 2020 went 25-for-35 passing in the season opener for 254 yards, one touchdown, and one interception to beat the Bucs 33-27. It was not a vintage Burrow performance, but it was solid enough, and Burrow will be a must-start again in all traditional fantasy football leagues if he is active this weekend against Houston, as expected.
