2020 NFL Draft first-rounders to put on your fantasy football radar
By Nick Villano
4. Joe Burrow, Bengals
Joe Burrow is the only quarterback on this list. Unlike the other quarterbacks taken in the first round, Burrow has a clear path to the starting job, no injury concerns and the best supporting cast with which to work.
The Bengals offense is low-key not that bad when it comes to weapons. Joe Mixon has shown he can be a really good running back. Then, there’s A.J. Green coming back from injury and playing for a new contract. Tyler Boyd had a breakout year last year and former No. 9 pick John Ross finally showed flashes of coming alive. Plus, second round pick Tee Higgins, the former Clemson wide receiver, should be a great young weapon to blossom with over the next few years.
Burrow could be a top-15 option at quarterback right away, and certain weeks he could sneak in the top 10. If you’re someone who likes to draft two quarterbacks, Burrow would be a really nice No. 2 option.
