Here's why Joe Burrow has a real shot at first-year fantasy football stardom

Back in 2012, Andrew Luck produced the most prolific passing season by a rookie quarterback in NFL history, establishing new records for yards in a single game (433) and season (4,374). He was also astonishingly clutch, directing a league-leading seven game-winning drives. Indianapolis finished with an 11-5 record, a nine-win improvement over the prior year.

All things considered, it was a remarkable first season for the top overall pick in the 2012 draft. Luck still tossed 18 picks and completed just 54.1 percent of his throws that year, so it's not as if he was perfect. But no rookie had ever produced his raw passing totals.
