FantasyPros Articles on Luther Burden
From the article
Luther Burden is dealing with a groin injury and will be sidelined for the entire preseason. Expected to be ready for Week 1, Burden is a massive breakout candidate and will be a 1a/1b option for the Chicago Bears passing game. This injury should not stop the hype train from rolling, but it could give fantasy managers a bit of a discount vis-a-vis what he was going for pre-injury. Burden is still fully expected to be a focal point of the Bears offense, but it is worth noting that Chicago signed Ray-Ray McCloud following the injury to their young star receiver.
STACKED’s take
Burden out for preseason but expected Week 1; still WR2 target with discount.
Luther Burden is dealing with a groin injury and will be sidelined for the entire preseason but is expected to be ready for Week 1. Burden is a massive breakout candidate and will be a 1a/1b option for the Chicago Bears passing game. This injury should not stop the hype train from rolling, but it could give fantasy managers a bit of a discount vis-a-vis what he was going for pre-injury. Burden is still fully expected to be a focal point of the Bears offense, but Chicago signed Ray-Ray McCloud following the injury to their young star receiver, which suggests that a Week 1 return is far from a sure thing. Fantasy managers should continue to tap Burden as a WR2 target in drafts but be cognizant that he may start the season slower than previously expected.
