Episode notes
Bengals Offense Stays Functional Without Burrow
- Joe Burrow will miss months and the Bengals' core strengths remain but will be reduced without him.
- Jake Browning can replicate the offense's short-pass identity and keep skill players usable, just at lower ceilings.
Be Cautious Spending On Jake Browning
- Don't overpay for Jake Browning in Superflex leagues unless options are scarce.
- Target Trevor Lawrence or Daniel Jones first among widely available quarterbacks.
Hold Bengals Skill Players For Now
- Hold Bengals receivers (Chase, Higgins) rather than selling at steep discounts right away.
- Only trade if you get near second-round value given upcoming tough road slate for Browning.
