Luther Burden III: Luther Burden III Primed For Second Half Breakout?

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III has been a playmaker in his limited opportunity this season, catching 16 of his 18 targets for 222 yards and a touchdown to go with two rushes for six yards in eight games this season. Burden is seeing his reps increase as the season progresses and posted season highs in both snaps and routes in Chicago's Week 10 win over the New York Giants. The rookie second-rounder played 57.6% of the snaps, his first game with a snap share above 50%, and ran 46.3% of the team's routes. Head coach Ben Johnson said that Burden will see more targets moving forward as he continues to get more comfortable in the offense. The rookie out of Missouri had an exciting prospect profile with elite athletic traits and is worth adding off the waiver wire in 12-team leagues to see how his role expands.
