Luther Burden III: Ben Johnson Suggests Buying Stock in Luther Burden III
Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III has generated plenty of buzz this offseason. Not only are fantasy managers getting excited about the young receiver, but Bears head coach Ben Johnson has expressed optimism, too. "I'm buying Luther Burden stock right now," Johnson said. "He's been extremely coachable." Burden was arguably the most dependable Bears receiver in 2025, especially during the second half of the season. He caught 47 passes for 652 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie, and he played so well that the Bears felt compelled to trade DJ Moore this offseason. Now, Burden and Rome Odunze are competing to be the top receiver in a Bears offense that is trending up very quickly. Burden has the potential to be Caleb Williams' top target, giving him top-24 upside in fantasy football. Between being a potential Year 2 breakout and drawing praise from Johnson, Burden is a glaring trade target for fantasy managers in dynasty leagues.
