Luther Burden III

After being used sparingly for much of the season, Luther Burden has come on late in his rookie year. Over his last four games, Burden has had 22 catches for 322 yards on 28 targets, with at least six targets and four catches in each of those games. He exploded for eight catches, 138 yards and a touchdown on Sunday night against the 49ers. Burden has an appealing Week 18 matchup against the Lions and their injury-depleted secondary.

Luther Burden III (quad) will undergo testing on the quad injury he suffered on the final play of Sunday night football. It’s not expected to be a serious injury.

Fantasy Impact

Burden was having himself a great day against the 49ers defense, but the injury put a further dampening on a tough loss. Fantasy managers will need to monitor his status as testing reveals further details.
