Bengals News Roundup: Joe Burrow ranking, starting lineup, key matchup

With the 2021 NFL Draft in the rearview mirror, it doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty of Cincinnati Bengals news.

This past week, ESPN came out with their fantasy quarterback rankings for the upcoming season. It was a little hard to estimate where Joe Burrow may fall this season considering he missed a good chunk of 2020 but his ranking should encourage Bengals’ fans.

As the off-season volunteer workouts start to play out, it is fun to consider what the starting lineups may be this year. Leigh Oleszczak gave us a glimpse into what the immediate future of the Bengals’ starting lineup might look like.

Who wouldn’t want to watch the aerial show that will the Bengals versus the Chiefs in week 17? If both Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes are healthy, this might be one of the most exciting games all year, especially if there are playoff implications. In fact, that tilt with Mahomes and the Chiefs is just one of several games on the schedule that fans can look forward to, even if just for the great quarterback matchups that are lining up for Burrow and the Bengals.
