00:02 - And I'm gonna start with,

00:05 I just think you cut the head off the snake

00:07 with the Cincinnati Bengals

00:08 and everything else seems to be collapsing

00:11 around Joe Burrow here.

00:13 If you can't throw the ball more than four yards Vinny,

00:16 you're gonna have a problem winning some football games.

00:19 I don't trust Joe Burrow.

00:21 What do you do with him this week?

00:23 - Yeah, I think if you've got some better options

00:26 and hopefully you've been paying attention

00:27 to the waiver wire, 'cause there's a lot.

00:29 I mean, you look at CJ Stroud, you look at Jordan Love,

00:31 Sam Howell tonight against the Bears.

00:34 These are all really good matchups.

00:35 Brock Purdy has been almost a weekly play.

00:38 So there's been a lot of options.

00:40 I think what's hard for fantasy managers early in the season

00:43 is to forget the name on the back of the jersey

00:46 and just say, look, how's this player performing?

00:48 Do I trust him?

00:49 Especially at quarterback in a one quarterback league.

00:51 In a two quarterback league,

00:52 you're probably stuck with him or super flex with Joe Burrow.

00:55 You have to keep rolling him out there.

00:57 But in a one QB league, you have options.

00:59 You can pivot.

01:00 And especially if you're in a shallow league,

01:02 you're gonna have guys with good matchups every week,

01:04 even including the guy across from Joe Burrow this week

01:07 in Josh Dobbs.

01:08 So there are some guys I hate to say

01:10 that he's down there with Josh Dobbs,

01:12 but the production says that.

01:14 His arm and injury say that.

01:16 Cardinals haven't been that bad.

01:17 They held a Dak Prescott in a game at home

01:20 and the Daniel Jones was lost for three quarters in Arizona.

01:23 So no T Higgins this week.

01:25 So look, I think you should have a better option this week

01:28 than Joe Burrow based on the matchups.
