The Bengals have used the franchise tag on Tee Higgins, leaving the elite duo of Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase together.
Dynasty Analysis
The Bengals seem dedicated to keeping both Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase together long-term and that's exactly what the doctor ordered for anyone with Joe Burrow as their dynasty QB1. After a career season, Burrow has cemented himself as an elite-level QB1 and keeping this group intact should ensure he has a chance to push for 5,000 yards and possibly even 50 touchdowns next season. In short, this is great news for Burrow.

Joe Burrow was named the NFL's Comeback player of the Year.
Dynasty Analysis
Burrow returned from various injuries last year to lead the league in passing yards (4,918) and passing touchdowns (43) and finished third in Total QBR (74.7). You could say he had a good year. With Ja'Marr Chase likely around for the long-term. Burrow is about as good as you can get at quarterback in dynasty leagues at the moment. He should be an elite-level QB1 for many years to come and his ADP could climb this off-season.

Dynasty Analysis
Burrow now has a whopping 4,641 passing yards with 42 touchdowns and just eight interceptions on the season. While he isn't likely going to win the MVP award with his team possibly out of the playoff race, few players are as important to their teams as he is. In dynasty leagues, he's clearly going to be valued as a top-5 quarterback asset this off-season.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow completed 27-of-39 passes for 251 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions in a win against Las Vegas.
Dynasty Analysis
The habitually slow-starting Bengals are back to 4-5 after this one and Burrow is certainly one of the reasons why. Through nine games, Burrow now has 2,244 yards with 20 touchdowns and just four interceptions on the season. Cincinnati may end up digging too deep of a hole to get out of, but Burrow is clearly back to nearly full health and QB1 status. His dynasty value is stable, if not ticking up at this point in the season.
