BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 27% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The last two weeks have been wild in terms of QB fantasy points leaders. Joe Flacco and Desmond Ridder are in the top 10, Bailey Zappe has had more points than Patrick Mahomes, and the craziest part? Jake Browning finished as the overall QB2.
Yes, the same guy who failed to play a single snap in the NFL from 2019 to 2022 is now setting the football world on fire. The Bengals season looked over when Joe Burrow went down due to an injury, but Browning keeps giving them hope.

In his last two games, Browning has averaged 314.5 yards per game, thrown three TDs, ran for two additional scores, and had a sparkling 119.2 passer rating. He had two consecutive games where he ran for a TD and had a passer rating over 100, something that Joe Burrow has only done once in his career (Weeks 6 and 7 last season).
The only downside is that he'll be facing some very tough opponents to end the season. The Vikings, Steelers, Chiefs, and Browns are all great defenses that could give him a lot of trouble. But with all of the Bengals' playoff hopes resting on his right arm, the extra pressure could cause him to pull out more impressive performances.
