Who Should I Start? Kayshon Boutte or Luther Burden III

Saturday, September 27, 1:32 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte turned heads with six catches for 103 yards in Week 1, but with just three catches for 44 yards since then, he's off the fantasy radar. Managers simply can't trust Boutte heading into Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers, as his inconsistent volume has quickly turned him into a potential wide receiver bust. Plus, he certainly isn't getting any favors with this week's matchup. The Panthers have allowed the fewest catches, second-fewest receiving yards, and second-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. He ranks as the overall WR53 this week, according to RotoBaller's fantasy experts.

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III flashed big-play ability in Week 3's blowout win over the Cowboys, catching all three of his targets for 101 yards and a touchdown. He also logged a season-high 31% snap share, showing growth in his role. Despite the breakout performance, Burden's overall usage still limits his fantasy relevance. Through three games, he has played just 25% of the snaps, well behind Rome Odunze (95%), D.J. Moore (88%), and Olamide Zaccheaus (48%). Burden gets another favorable matchup in Week 4 against a Raiders secondary that has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. However, until his role becomes more consistent, Burden remains unstartable in fantasy this week.
