NFL:
Which Bengals depth players become more valuable if Rivers remains the Week 1 starter behind Burrow?
Qwiket AI:
If Rivers holds Week 1 starter duties, Fairchild and Lee gain value as interior guards providing continued protection and run-blocking depth. Rivers’ development also creates a path for McLaughlin to contribute in sub-packages or as a developmental project. The shift can stabilize Burrow’s pocket, improving overall offense durability and supporting the WR/TE corps.
