The Cincinnati Bengals are set to kick off the 2023 season on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.
ESPN most recently released an article discussing bold predictions for each team, and Seth Walder shared his for the Bengals.
Walder stated, “Burrow will set the new standard for completion percentage over expectation (CPOE), beating out Matt Ryan’s plus-8.3% in 2016. Burrow’s elite trait is accuracy — he led the league in CPOE in 2021 with a plus-6%, and he has exceptional receivers yet again. That will allow him to establish the highest mark in the metric, which was developed by NFL Next Gen Stats in 2016.
