Michael Burton Scores Second Touchdown Of The Year On Thursday

Friday, December 20, 10:55 AM

Denver Broncos fullback Michael Burton got into the action in the 34-27 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night at SoFi Stadium on a short touchdown pass from rookie quarterback Bo Nix in the second quarter. Burton is not a big part of Denver's offense, but he caught one of Nix's two touchdown passes on the evening for his second touchdown in the last three games. He also fell into the end zone on a goal-line carry in the Week 13 win over the Cleveland Browns. The 32-year-old veteran has mostly served a blocking role for Denver's struggling ground game this year, but he'll occasionally get a touch or two. On the year as a whole through 15 games, Burton has only six rushing attempts for five yards and a touchdown while adding 10 catches on 10 targets for 65 yards and another score. He should continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Leads Saints With 26 Rushing Yards

Monday, January 6, 2:25 AM

New Orleans Saints running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire needed all of 26 rushing yards to lead the team in the category in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He added another 14 yards on his only catch of the game. With Alvin Kamara (groin) and Kendre Miller (concussion) sidelined for the season finale, backfield reps were split up among Edwards-Helaire, Jamaal Williams, and Jordan Mims. Williams got the start and out-snapped Edwards-Helaire 24-18, but the backs drew an equal share of carries out of the backfield. The Saints signed the Louisiana native and LSU alum in mid-December after he was released from the Chiefs. Inactive for all of 2024 save the last two games of the Saints' schedule, Edwards-Helaire finishes the year with 46 rushing yards on 13 carries and three receptions for 24 yards. In his previous four years in Kansas City, he had 1,845 rushing yards and 745 receiving.
