Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) is officially active for the team's Week 3 game against the Los Angeles Rams.
Burrow suffered a calf strain on the final play of the Bengals' Week 2 loss, but has been working hard to suit up for tonight's critical game against the Rams. The 0-2 Bengals will let him start, though he could be at risk of aggravating the injury for a second time. The team also promoted a third quarterback (Reid Sinnett) from the practice squad earlier in the day to provide additional support behind Jake Browning, and are likely prepared to deal with that situation should it arise.
Our models project Burrow, who has a $7,200 salary on FanDuel, for 19.4 fantasy points after this news. He is projected for 262.3 passing yards, 1.9 scores, and 0.7 interceptions as he looks to get through the game healthy and get the Bengals back on track.
