4. QB Joe Burrow, CIN vs. Baltimore Ravens

Joe Burrow has been solid this year, leading the Bengals to a 4-2 start. He’s been great in fantasy too, averaging out as the 12th best quarterback in terms of fantasy points. Burrow and the Bengals get another tough matchup this week against the Baltimore Ravens.

Though it’s a tough matchup real-life football wise, this should be a solid game for fantasy production all around. The Ravens were able to hold down Justin Herbert last week in their blowout win against the Chargers, but holding another high-powered offense down for a second straight game will be a tough task.

Burrow is a near-lock for top 10 numbers this week and is a solid starter, especially with bye weeks here. He’s likely to be cheap in DFS, so getting him as a cheap but high-upside option would be a good call.
