Joe Burrow Start or sit, Week 5

This week's outlook

Burrow enters healthy with no injury designation. Miami's secondary can be attacked through the air, and his recent output of multiple passing touchdowns and 250+ yard games supports a solid floor at a reasonable $6900 price. A shootout script would boost volume further, while a run-heavy, clock-controlled game would cap his upside.
