Lamar Jackson News
Sunday, September 13, 6:27 PM
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson continued to show why he is considered one of the best in the game on Sunday. Jackson came ready to play during the season opener against the Indianapolis Colts. He completed 17-of-25 passing attempts for 324 yards with one touchdown and zero interceptions. Jackson also rushed the ball seven times for 40 yards and another touchdown during the Week 1 victory. The Ravens have a new offensive coordinator in Declan Doyle, but that didn't impact Jackson's play on the field. When healthy, few players in the game can match the talent level of Jackson. He'll remain an elite fantasy option heading into the Week 2 matchup versus the New Orleans Saints.

Joe Burrow News
Sunday, September 13, 12:47 PM
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow completed 25 of 35 pass attempts (71.4%) for 254 yards and a touchdown in the 33-27 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Burrow was also sacked once and threw one interception in this contest. The Bengals quarterback also showed off the legs with five carries for 20 yards. That rushing total would've been a season-high for him in 2025. While fantasy managers should be excited about the prospect of some rushing upside for Burrow, he may be better suited protecting himself for his health's sake. Despite the box score showing 33 points on the board for Cincinnati, Burrow only accounted for one score. The Bengals defense found the end zone and kicker Evan McPherson accounted for 15 of the total points. Burrow will look to increase the passing volume in next week's matchup against the Houston Texans. The Texans defense is one of the toughest in the league, but the prolific Bengals offense should be able to get things done against them. Burrow should be considered a QB1 heading into Week 2 despite his diminished fantasy output against the Buccaneers.
