Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III could be in line for more targets in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers, as WR Rome Odunze (foot, heel) has been ruled out.
Huddle Up: Burden's production has picked up in the past four games, posting three or more receptions in each of the outings, while posting 33 or more yards in three of those games. He hasn't scored since Week 3, so temper expectations a little, but he is the best downfield threat behind DJ Moore. Trust him as a WR5 or flex fantasy option for this critical NFC North game.

Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III caught four passes for 33 yards against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13. He was targeted six times during the game.
Huddle Up: Burden has been more involved recently with 16 targets over the last three games but has been held to under 50 yards in all three games. He should see a similar workload next week but may only be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues.

Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III caught three of five targets for 46 yards in a Week 12 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also had a carry for nine yards.
Huddle Up: The rookie grabbed three passes for the third straight game - one shy of his season high - but has only one touchdown on the season. He's more valuable in dynasty leagues due to his future impact than he is on standard formats at this point.

Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III has earned increased snaps, according to head coach Ben Johnson. "You get what you earn. And I think he's earned the increased snaps, Johnson said. He's steadily climbed."
Huddle Up: Burden has played 33 snaps each of the last two games, which was up from his previous high of 19. He had a career-high five targets last week and caught three balls for 27 yards. He's not quite on the flex option stratosphere yet, but he's definitely improving and looks to be headed there.

Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III caught three passes for 27 yards against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11. He was targeted five times during the game.
Huddle Up: Burden saw a season-high five targets against the Vikings but was held under 30 yards for the sixth time this season. He will see a few targets next week but can be avoided in fantasy leagues.

Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III posted three receptions for 51 yards on three targets in Week 10 against the New York Giants.
Huddle Up: Burden has shown some signs of life, going for 51 or more receiving yards three times in the past six games. However, he has posted minus yardage totals in the two games he didn't reach 50 yards, and he had just 22 yards in the other game. His production is too erratic to trust him regularly. However, he does have plenty of upside, and he could be a nice addition for fantasy mangers in long-term keeper formats.

Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (concussion) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 7, and is not on the injury report for Week 10.
Huddle Up: Burden is set to return to the lineup this week and will probably see a few targets in the passing game. He has posted at least 50 yards in only two of his seven games this season and can be avoided in fantasy leagues.

Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (concussion) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 6.
Huddle Up: Burden should be available to play this week as long as he passes his concussion tests. He will see a few targets if he is active but has not been a big part of the passing game this season. Fantasy players should have better options available and can avoid Burden this week.
