Myles Garrett returns to action for a Week 1 showdown against Cincinnati, after a hip scare that briefly sidelined him. The Browns lean on Garrett, who has dominated Burrow in the past with nine sacks in eight meetings, including multiple two-sack games. Cincinnati counters with Orlando Brown Jr. and Dylan Fairchild up front, while Burrow must manage protections IDs and quick releases to keep the edge at bay. The atmosphere underscores a pivotal AFC North clash with significant fantasy and betting implications.

Garrett’s health is the x-factor; if he looks limited, the Browns’ pass rush could soften, boosting Burrow’s ceiling. If Garrett bursts through as usual, Burrow faces a tougher task, potentially increasing sack and turnover risk. For fantasy owners, Garrett’s status and the left-side of Cincinnati’s line are key pivots for Week 1 projections and DFS stacking options.
