Luther Burden III Ascending Into Major Role on Offense?
Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III had a very strong 2025 season, wasting no time making his presence felt as a rookie. Burden finished the campaign with 47 catches, 652 yards, and two touchdowns, ranking as the overall WR48 in PPR leagues. He really started to turn the corner during the final stretch of the season. Across his final four games in 2025, he totaled 11 catches, 324 yards, and one touchdown, ranking as the overall WR16 in fantasy football during that span. Burden's big year allowed the Bears to feel so comfortable about their receiver room that they traded DJ Moore to the Buffalo Bills. Therefore, there is a clear path to producivity for both Burden and Rome Odunze. The former represents a very appealing WR3/flex option in redraft leagues, and he has an even higher ceiling in dynasty formats. Managers are unlikely to budge on their current asking price for Burden, but it doesn't hurt to still send out trade offers for the receiver.
