Quarterback
Joe Burrow (TRUST): Burrow stayed red hot last week as the QB2 in overall scoring. Burrow now has at least 17 fantasy points in every game but one on the year and has thrown at least two touchdown passes in all seven games.
Burrow has scorched teams that are sending blitzes in his direction, completing 71.0% of his passes for 11.9 yards per pass attempt with eight touchdowns against extra pass rushers this season. The Jets do blitz at the 12th-highest rate (25.7%). The Jets have allowed QB1 scoring weeks to both Matt Ryan (21.6 points) and Mac Jones (22.2 points) over their past two games, both of which have played below Burow to this stage of the season.
