Joe Burrow fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 3 (2024). Should you start or sit Joe Burrow for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1
ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers should start Joe Burrow in Week 3 against the Commanders despite the Bengals' early struggles. Burrow bounced back in Week 2 with a solid performance, throwing for 258 yards and two touchdowns, showing signs of regaining his form.
Washington's secondary has been vulnerable this season, allowing multiple big plays through the air, which creates a favorable matchup for Burrow to exploit. His strong connection with key targets like Ja'Marr Chase and potentially Tee Higgins (if healthy) gives him a high ceiling for passing yards and touchdowns.

Even with Tee Higgins questionable for Week 3, Ja'Marr Chase is due for a breakout game. Chase has been relatively quiet in the first two weeks but is too talented to be held in check for long.
Burrow and Chase's chemistry is undeniable, and with Washington likely focused on stopping the run game, Burrow will have plenty of opportunities to air it out.
This matchup sets the stage for Burrow's potential big game, making him a must-start for fantasy managers looking for reliable quarterback production.
