| Derek Brown FantasyPros | Luther Burden steps into a much larger workload in 2026. Last year (including the playoffs), Burden had only five games in which he played at least 53% of the snaps. In those games, he had a 15.5% target share and 61.2 receiving yards per game, which is concerning, but his per-route metrics were outstanding, with 2.30 yards per route run, a 23.6% first-read share, and 0.120 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). There's a lot of projection for Burden's 2026 season. Last year, he was stellar overall per-route with a 26% target per route run rate (11th), 2.83 yards per route run (third), 0.117 first downs per route run (12th), and 0.56 fantasy points per route run (eighth, among all wideouts with at least 200 routes). The hope and hype centered around Burden is that he can turn that small-sample hyper-efficiency into a marvelous season with a full-time workload. That could happen this year, and it sends him screaming up the weekly rankings for wide receivers, but Burden also has Rome Odunze and Colston Loveland to contend with for the top spot in the Chicago pecking order. Burden is best viewed as a WR2 with upside. | |
| Andrew Erickson FantasyPros | 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. | |
| Pat Fitzmaurice FantasyPros | Brenton Strange hit career highs in receptions (46), receiving yards (540) and TD catches (3) last season despite playing only 12 games. The 25-year-old Strange, a second-round draft pick in 2023, averaged an impressive 9.0 yards per target and a solid 1.58 yards per route run in an ascendant Jacksonville offense. Still, his fantasy impact was modest. Strange finished TE18 in half-point PPR fantasy points per game among TEs who played at least five games. Although his 2025 performance hints at greater fantasy potential, Strange may have to share snaps with other tight ends in Jacksonville. The Jaguars selected Nate Boerkircher in the second round and Tanner Koziol in the fifth round of this year's draft. That suggests the Jaguars will use more multiple-TE sets this season, which wouldn't necessarily be bad for Strange, but it somewhat clouds his fantasy outlook for 2026. | |
