BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1
ANALYSIS: After starting the year off in abysmal fashion thanks in large part to a calf injury, Joe Burrow has rebounded in a big way over the past month. The Cincy superstar has now thrown for multiple TDs in five consecutive games. That streak will be put to the test in a Week 11 Thursday night matchup against the stout defense of the Baltimore Ravens.

This divisional clash is a true case of the irresistible force meeting the immovable object, as Burrow will face perhaps his toughest challenge of the year on the road at Baltimore against a Ravens unit that's holding opposing QBs to a minuscule 5.52 yards per attempt and has relinquished the NFL's fewest passing TDs.
If anyone can overcome the brutal matchup, it's Burrow, who has now topped 300 yards passing in two of the Bengals' last three games and has proven himself to be one of the game's steadiest fantasy producers throughout his career.
While this week is more likely to be a moderate fantasy outcome rather than a spectacular one, Joey B. managers are firing him up unless they have a bulletproof pivot option available on the bench. He can be considered a low-end QB1 due to the matchup.
