Joe Burrow (knee) expects to sit out Week 18 for Bengals
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) said he doesn't expect to play Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns.
What It Means:
Burrow is dealing with some soreness in his knee, but he believes he would be able to play if the Bengals had something to play for. The Bengals are likely going to take a cautious approach and rest their starters in Week 18 while preparing for the first round of the playoffs. Brandon Allen will start if Burrow is ruled out, which is a significant downgrade for whatever pass-catchers the Bengals wind up using.
numberFire's models project Allen for 12.7 FanDuel points in Week 18.
