Joe Burrow RANKED TOO HIGH? Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins UNDERRATED? MUST-KNOW fantasy takes on 2026 Bengals

Sporting News' Vinnie Iyer and NFL.com's Michelle Magdziuk break down the 2026 Cincinnati Bengals' fantasy football prospects, including whether Joe Burrow is becoming ranked too high as a QB1, creeping into the top 3 behind Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson and ahead of Drake Maye. Vinnie and Michelle examine the downside to drafting him, including injury risk and cost in relation to production. A big reason for Burrow's big status are wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Find out why his top targets are more attractive early than Burrow and Chase Brown also is going a little too low as a RB1 in the offense.
