Jake Browning Entering Make-Or-Break Week Against Lions
Jake Browning is searching for a bounce-back performance after two rough outings in relief of Joe Burrow. Browning has completed 33 of 52 passes for 265 yards with just one touchdown against two interceptions since taking over. The Bengals' offense has sputtered badly under his command, ranking 30th in points per game (15.3) and last in the NFL in total yards per game (205.3). With Burrow expected to miss the next three months, the pressure on Browning has only intensified, as many speculate they should add another quarterback. Week 5 brings a tough matchup against the Detroit Lions, who have allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks despite already facing Lamar Jackson, Caleb Williams, and Jordan Love. Fantasy managers should firmly sit Browning this week, as his performance against Detroit could go a long way in determining whether he holds the starting job moving forward.
