Cincinnati @ Arizona
Team Totals: Bengals 23.5, Cardinals 20.5
The #SpreadsheetSocialists are on Joe Burrow busting his slump in Week 5’s visit to Arizona, and I get it. Burrow (calf) did practice fully all week and avoided the injury report entirely for the first time this season. The Cards have allowed the NFL’s fifth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks while surrendering the league’s fourth-most yards per pass attempt (7.5). I’m approaching Burrow as a boom-bust QB1 in season-long lineup decisions but an intriguing DFS tournament play in stacks with Ja’Marr Chase. … Joe Mixon enters Week 5 with to-date touch counts of 16 > 17 > 20 > 15 while playing a career-high 74% of Cincy’s offensive snaps. Only two defenses have allowed more fantasy running back points than Arizona.
Burrow’s Weeks 1-4 target distribution: Chase 40; Tee Higgins 32; Tyler Boyd 27; Mixon 13; Irv Smith 9; Tanner Hudson 6. … Burrow and Chase are still connecting; Chase’s catch rate on targets from Burrow is 72.5%. Yet, scoreless on the year, Chase is obviously due for positive-touchdown regression.
