Burton played four of the Bengals' 51 snaps on offense and went without a target in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Patriots.
Even with Tee Higgins (hamstring) inactive for the contest and with Ja'Marr Chase handling a slightly lower snap share (84 percent) than normal after sitting out all of training camp and the preseason, Burton couldn't carve out much of a role on offense in his NFL debut. Andrei Iosivas filled in for Higgins in the starting lineup and played all 51 snaps, while Trent Irwin (33 snaps) and Charlie Jones (eight snaps) also saw more work than Burton. The rookie third-round pick appears to be viewed as more of a developmental piece and looks to be a long way from delivering value in redraft leagues.
