Luther Burden III leads underwhelming passing offense in Week 5 loss

Luther Burden III hauled in four of his six targets for a team-leading 47 yards while also rushing four times for two yards in the Bears' 31-7 Week 5 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Fantasy Impact

Burden III has seen consistent involvement in the Chicago passing attack to begin the season, recording four or more receptions in four of five contests. The wideout remains one of the more stable pass-catching options for head coach Ben Johnson ahead of a Week 6 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

Luther Burden III goes for 63 yards in Week 4

Luther Burden III caught four of his six targets for 63 yards and added an 11-yard run in a 23-12 win over the Jets in Week 4.

Fantasy Impact

Burden got off to a fast start, catching three of his four passes in the first quarter, but was held to just one catch the rest of the way. He has been trending up, but fantasy managers are still waiting for a blow-up game from the second-year receiver. He will be a high-end WR3 in fantasy in Week 5 vs. the Packers.

Luther Burden III finds the end zone in Week 3

Luther Burden III caught seven of his 11 targets for 61 yards and a touchdown while adding a seven-yard rush in a 27-7 win over the Eagles in Week 3.

Fantasy Impact

Burden found the end zone on an eight-yard pass from Case Keenum in the first quarter. The veteran wideout led the Bears in targets and receptions on Monday night, although Kalif Raymond topped him with 90 receiving yards. Burden has 15 catches for 156 yards and one touchdown through three games. He will be a solid fantasy option in Week 4 against the Jets.

Luther Burden III sees seven targets in Week 2 loss

Luther Burden III hauled in three of his seven targets for 32 yards in the Bears' 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2.

Fantasy Impact

Burden III has provided mixed results to begin the season, finishing with less than 50 receiving yards in one of the first two games. The wideout remains difficult to trust as part of an inconsistent Chicago offense early on, with a Week 3 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles up next.

Luther Burden III sees six touches in Week 1

Luther Burden III hauled in all five of his targets for 63 yards while also rushing once for two yards in the Bears' 59-37 Week 1 win over the Carolina Panthers.

Fantasy Impact

Burden III saw steady involvement in the Chicago passing attack, finishing second on the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards in the win. The wideout offers head coach Ben Johnson another dynamic pass-catcher as part of an explosive Chicago offense ahead of a Week 2 divisional matchup with the Minnesota Vikings.
