A devastating knee injury and the dominance of Justin Herbert stole the spotlight on what was shaping up to be one of the better rookie quarterback seasons in recent memory. The Bengals played fast and loose on offense as Burrow averaged over 40 attempts per game, which placed him right at the top of the NFL with Ben Roethlisberger. This style of play was forced upon the rookie as the run game couldn't get much going, and the defense wasn't reliable. Eventually the leaky line played a part in Burrow's knee getting mangled and the Bengal season came to a crashing end.
It was only a 10 game sample, but it was clear to anyone watching that Burrow has the makings of something special. He showed toughness and grit, was accurate (65% completion percentage) and careful with the ball (13-5 inception-to-touchdown ratio). He was able to elevate the players around him, and become a team leader.
The health of Burrow's surgically repaired knee is the only question mark coming into the 2021 season. The Bengals added Ja'Marr Chase to an already loaded receiving corps, and with the return of a healthy Mixon, Cincinnati could have the most talented young skill position players in the NFL. They have bolstered their offensive line with new coaching additions, veteran signings, and through the draft (2nd round pick Jackson Carman is expected to start). If 2019 1st rounder Jonah Williams can stay healthy and play to his potential, Burrow should see immense improvement in the blocking this season. Look for the Bengals to play an up-tempo offense with 3 receivers who are capable of beating the defense on any given play. This offense, with Burrow at the helm, will be exciting to watch. If the knee keeps him in the pocket more, Burrow will likely top out a low end QB1, but has upside to finish near the top-10.

 Tee Higgins not expected to play
Doubtful with shoulder injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Sep 26, 7:00 am
|  | Bengals’ WR Tee Higgins, listed as doubtful for Sunday vs. the Steelers due to a shoulder injury, is not expected to play, per source. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: With Higgins out, expect Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd to receiving most of the attention in the passing game from Joe Burrow. Both are viable WR2s against the Steelers in Week 3.
