• Bears' Luther Burden III: Week 15 Waiver Priority List

  2D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Rome Odunze (foot) missed Week 14 at Green Bay, and Burden stepped up with four catches for 67 yards on six targets. He should continue to remain involved as long as Odunze is out, and Burden is worth using as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues if he remains in an expanded role. He doesn't have an easy upcoming schedule against Cleveland in Week 15, the Packers again in Week 16 and San Francisco in Week 17, but I like Burden's potential as long as Odunze is out. Burden is worth adding for at least 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

• Bears' Luther Burden III: Week 15 Adds (WR Preview)

  2D ago • By Heath Cummings

  I am really not sure why Burden is still just 29% rostered. He is a consensus WR3 for us this week, and he just led his team in targets. He has been the Bears' most efficient wide receiver all season long, and he just played a season-high 71.4% of the offensive snaps. There is big-time upside, even against a good defense like the Browns.

• Bears' Luther Burden: Earns six targets

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Burden recorded four receptions on six targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers. He added one rush for three yards. Burden led the Bears in targets and yards with Rome Odunze (foot) sidelined, while DJ Moore remained uninvolved. Burden was primarily targeted in short areas of the field, though he did get behind the Packers' defense for a 27-yard gain late in the fourth quarter as the Bears attempted to rally to tie the game. Burden's involvement in Chicago's offense has steadily crept up in recent weeks, as he now has at least five targets in four straight contests. He set his highest yardage total in that span with his performance Sunday, though Burden could continue to emerge in the final handful of remaining weeks of the regular season.

• Bears' Luther Burden: More targets coming sans Odunze?

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus are candidates to take on more snaps and targets in the absence of Rome Odunze (foot) this Sunday at Green Bay, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. It's a tough matchup, on the road in cold weather, but Odunze's absence opens up a lot of playing time and targets for some talented players in ancillary roles. Burden is among those, having recently replaced Zaccheaus as the No. 3 receiver, but the Bears also may lean more heavily on any of WR DJ Moore, RB D'Andre Swift, TE Colston Loveland or TE Cole Kmet to take on larger receiving roles in Odunze's absence.

  Burden is still just 26% rostered. Over the past two weeks he has a 17.2% target share and still leads the team in yards per route run (2.34) and yards per target (10.54). The explosion could be just around the corner.
