Joe Burrow fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 2 (2024). Should you start or sit Joe Burrow for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 18+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: QB17
ANALYSIS: Joe Burrow is one of the best quarterbacks in the National Football League, but a tough matchup combined with a lack of cohesion for the Cincinnati Bengals early in the season makes him a sub-optimal choice at starting QB in Week 2.
The Bengals face the Kansas City Chiefs, the defending Super Bowl champions and a team that boasts of a strong defense, especially on its line.
Last season, the Chiefs allowed just 185.8 passing yards per game, the fourth fewest in the league. In Week 1, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson threw for 273 yards on the Chiefs, but he only ended up with a single touchdown pass.
Burrow has a 2-0 record against the Chiefs in the regular season and has averaged 366.0 yards per game while throwing six touchdown passes. Oddsmakers, however, think Burrow's streak of success will come to an end. There are higher-ranked options to start in Week 2.
