Fantasy analyst makes bold prediction about Bears WR Luther Burden
Sports Illustrated fantasy analyst Michael Fabiano had a bold prediction about Bears receiver Luther Burden III.
Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III is generating significant buzz among fantasy football analysts, with Sports Illustrated's Michael Fabiano placing him among the top-15 receivers for the season. Despite Chicago not having a wide receiver record more than 1,000 yards since before the draft of quarterback Caleb Williams, Burden has shown promise.
He scored 11-plus points in three of his last four games, including a standout performance of 27.8 points against the 49ers in Week 17. With DJ Moore traded to Buffalo, Burden will have ample target opportunities. Coach Ben Johnson also praised Burden's electric potential during OTAs. However, Burden did sustain a groin injury, which could impact his fantasy value as he may miss the first game and require time to condition for regular season play.
His average draft position (ADP) ranges from the sixth to the eighth round, making him a reasonable pick for those anticipating a breakout year.
