Who Should I Start? Joshua Palmer or Luther Burden III

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) will be limited in practice on Friday and will be listed as questionable to play in the Week 13 contest on Sunday against the hosting Pittsburgh Steelers, according to The Buffalo News' Katherine Fitzgerald. Palmer missed Wednesday's practice but will close out the week with two limited sessions, leaving hope that he will be active this weekend. Curtis Samuel has already been ruled out for Buffalo, but even if Palmer is active on Sunday, which is likely, fantasy managers should have better flex options to choose from. The 26-year-old has yet to score a touchdown in 2025 in his first year in Buffalo, and he just has not seen enough volume to warrant a roster spot in most leagues. With Keon Coleman being a healthy scratch the last two games, Palmer has had just four catches on nine targets for 38 yards.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III showed explosiveness in Week 12, totaling 61 yards on four total touches in the 31-28 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Burden has emerged in recent weeks, playing more snaps than Olamide Zaccheaus in the last two weeks. While the second round selection has showcased his untapped potential in 2025, he still sits behind Rome Odunze, D.J. Moore, and tight end Colston Loveland in the line for targets. Not only is his target competition stiff, but the Bears have been one of the most run-heavy teams in the NFL, ranking fifth in the NFL in rush attempts this season. The Bears face the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13, who have struggled more this season than expected. Burden remains a bench stash for now, as his fantasy value hopes to grow later in the season.
