Joe Burrow at Pittsburgh — High-End Fantasy Floor in Division Matchup

Burrow put lingering back tightness to rest during Week 2's win over Houston, operating with no visible limitations. With premier weapons Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins at his disposal, Cincinnati's passing game remains centered on Burrow's timing and pocket efficiency heading into a road tilt against the 1-1 Steelers.

Our weekly projections slate Burrow for roughly 180 passing yards and 1.3 passing touchdowns for about 15.7 fantasy points. Although divisional road environments can become defensive grinds, Burrow's 100% league ownership and steady passing volume make him an easy call to start in most fantasy formats.

Outlook Malik Willis

Malik Willis vs KC — Tough Matchup Limits Viability

Willis enters Week 3 leading an 0-2 Dolphins squad against the undefeated Chiefs after compiling 417 passing yards and two total touchdowns across his first two outings. He shook off a minor toe injury in practice and is set to pilot the offense as double-digit home underdogs, which could force Miami into a pass-heavy game script.

Our weekly projection forecasts around 156 passing yards and 19 rushing yards, totaling 13.6 fantasy points. Started in just 5% of leagues, Willis lacks the passing consistency to be started in standard 1QB leagues, making him a clear bench option outside of deep two-QB formats.
