And Joe Mixon, who was limited to six games last year, is healthy and provides a solid rushing attack. Chase will team with Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins, giving Burrow three quality wideouts. The Bengals upgraded their receiving group by reuniting Burrow with college teammate Ja'Marr Chase, the fifth overall pick in the draft. On attempts of 8-15 yards, his on-target percentage ranked 11th (70.0) and his completion percentage 10th (62.0). To mitigate the pass rush, the Bengals took advantage of his mobility by regularly rolling him out, and often relied on a quick passing game with intermediate routes. He was sacked 32 times, a 51-sack full-season pace. Part of the problem was limited arm strength, but Burrow also had to rush throws as he was pressured on 28.3 percent of his downfield dropbacks.
His on-target percentage on deep throws ranked 30th (39.1), and his 6.4 YPA was 34th. Of his 46 attempts of 20-plus yards, Burrow completed just nine, for a 19.2 completion percentage that ranked 34th of 35 QBs. But it was largely built on volume (40.4 attempts per game led the league through 11 weeks), while downfield passing was a struggle. He set team rookie records for completion percentage (65.3) and passing yards per game (268.8), grabbing the league's attention by throwing for at least 300 yards in five of his first seven games. Read Past Outlooksīurrow was the favorite for rookie of the year last season before tearing the ACL and MCL in his left knee Week 11. He's also set to miss a large portion of training camp while recovering from a late-July appendectomy, though it's less of an issue given that the Bengals have continuity on offense everywhere besides the O-line. Much, which could keep him from finishing as a top-5 fantasy QB even if he's excellent for the Bengals again.
The only problem is that Burrow doesn't run The Bengals remade their offensive line in a big way by signing center Ted Karras, right guardĪlex Cappa and right tackle La'el Collins. Returning 1,200-yard rusher, and after allowing 55 sacks (and an NFL-record 19 in the playoffs), Chase returns with Tylerīoyd and Tee Higgins, giving Burrow the league's best WR trio. League-high six 50-yard completions and 22 20-yard completions (4th). Yards, getting an instant boost from rookie receiver Ja'Marr Chase, with whom he teamed for a Target percentage (59.0), third in YPA (17.0) and first in touchdowns (11) on attempts of 20-plus Burrow capitalized on downfield throws, ranking fourth in on. That propelled him to a 70.4 completion percentage and 8.9 Averaging only 32.5Īttempts per game (17th), Burrow led the league in on-target rate at 80.6 percent with an 8.1.

News of his fifth-year option being exercised came the same day it did for his former LSU teammate Justin Jefferson.
Burrow’s rookie campaign ended prematurely when he tore the ACL and MCL in his left knee during his 10th game. The Bengals went deep in the playoffs the last two seasons, losing to the Rams in the 2021 Super Bowl then to the Chiefs in the 2022 AFC Championship Game.

signing, plus the expected Burrow extension and a Ja’Marr Chase extension next offseason. Neither Higgins nor Wilson are locks to be extended as the big contracts start to mount with Trey Hendrickson’s climbing number and the Orlando Brown Jr. Wide receiver Tee Higgins and linebacker Logan Wilson also are eligible for extensions, but the Burrow deal takes priority. Morrison Other priorities for Bengals this offseason History always comes into play when talking about the Bengals and contracts, particularly extensions, with 16 of the previous 18 occurring after May. Expectations are that the Burrow extension is a matter of when, not if - and, of course, exactly how much more than Jalen Hurts’ league-record $51 million annual average salary it will be.
