Read Joe Burrow's fantasy football outlook for Week 6 of the NFL season. Notes, updates, analysis and advice including predictions for his upcoming matchup.
Joe is having an excellent start to his sophomore campaign and has been impressive despite coming off a major injury last season that many thought might hamper him this year. The Bengals backfield situation is a mess as Joe Mixon was just downgraded and Samaje Perine has already been ruled out. While I am sure the Bengals will still try to establish the run against a weak Detroit defense, there are going to be a lot of opportunities here for Burrow to torch a porous Lions' secondary, too. Detroit is 27th in DVOA pass defense and has allowed the second-most fantasy points per attempt to opposing QBs this year. I love Burrow in cash games or tournaments paired with a few of his talented young wideouts.
