Cincinnati @ Detroit
Team Totals: Bengals 25.5, Lions 22
This is a potential ceiling spot for Joe Burrow inside Ford Field’s dome against a Lions defense that keeps enemy quarterbacks comfortable by ranking bottom four in QB hits (21) and allowing a league-high 10.0 yards per pass attempt. The Bengals continue to experience health issues in their running back room — Joe Mixon’s ankle remains touch and go, and Samaje Perine hit the Covid list early this week — while Burrow is averaging 35 pass attempts over his last two starts after the coaching staff conservatively held him to 25 per game in Weeks 1-3. His ultra-talented three-receiver package again fully intact, Burrow is a high-end QB2 play with QB1 upside here. … The Bengals’ backfield distribution won’t come into focus until late in the week since Perine must continually test negative for the virus after he served as Cincy’s Week 5 lead back.
