Expert
	Luther Burden is shaping up as one of the biggest second-year breakout candidates in fantasy football after flashing elite efficiency late in his rookie season. The Bears wideout thrived in Ben Johnson's scheme, ranking near the top of the NFL in yards per route run while showcasing dynamic YAC ability and forced missed tackles. With DJ Moore gone, Burden has a legitimate path to leading Chicago in receiving production, especially as the coaching staff continues to emphasize getting him the ball in space. The upside is massive in Year 2, although target competition from Rome Odunze and Colston Loveland could create some weekly volatility.
