Burton caught all three of his targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers. Burton's touchdown was his first score through the air this season and second trip to the end zone overall in 2024. The veteran fullback played just 10 of the Broncos' 64 offensive snaps Thursday, playing in his usual part-time role in Denver's offense. Despite the score in Week 16, Burton remains far off the fantasy radar due to his extremely limited usage. Next up for the Broncos is a matchup against the Bengals in Week 17.

The Broncos signed Burton off their practice squad Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports. Burton has appeared in all 10 of the Broncos games this season, recording two carries for minus-one yards and five receptions for 40 yards across 275 total snaps (177 on offense and 98 on special teams). Expect the Rutgers product to serve as Denver's top fullback again in Sunday's game against Atlanta.

The Broncos signed Burton to the practice squad Saturday, and he has been elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. Burton was on the Broncos' active roster over the first eight games of the regular season, logging five catches (on eight targets) for 40 yards over that span. He was released by Denver on Friday, but he's opted to stick around on the practice squad and he'll be available for Sunday's contest.

Burton was released by the Broncos on Friday. Burton had appeared in all eight of the Broncos' games in 2024, catching all five of his targets for 40 yards. The fullback has also played 68 percent of the team's special-teams snaps this season. It wouldn't be a surprise to see Burton return to Denver in the near future.

Burton was released by the Broncos on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports. Burton operated as Denver's starting fullback in 2023, turning seven carries into nine rushing yards while producing eight receiving yards on three catches over 17 games. He will now attempt to start somewhere new in his 10th year in the NFL.
