Who Should I Start? Ray-Ray McCloud III or Luther Burden III

Sunday, November 9, 12:29 AM

According to Dan Salomone of Giants.com, the New York Giants have elevated wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with the hosting Chicago Bears. McCloud III will suit up for a second consecutive game for the Giants after joining the squad roughly two weeks ago. In his debut, the 29-year-old played the second-most snaps of all New York wideouts (91%). However, he was targeted just once (1/5). While he may boast more work as he becomes more comfortable in his new surroundings, the Giants' passing offense has not found consistent success supporting multiple fantasy wide receivers. McCloud III will rank as RotoBaller's PPR WR88 for his clash with Chicago.

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III (concussion) has been cleared from the injury report and will play in Week 10 against the New York Giants, per Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic. Burden was inactive for Chicago's Week 9 win over the Bengals after suffering a concussion in Week 8 against the Ravens, but he will end up only missing one game. The rookie was removed from this week's injury report along with top wideouts D.J. Moore (groin, hip) and Rome Odunze (ankle, heel), which will make it tough to see consistent playing time. The 21-year-old has flashed in his limited opportunities this season, catching 13 of his 15 targets for 171 yards and a touchdown in seven games. Burden is an intriguing upside bet to have stashed on benches, but shouldn't be in most lineups for Week 10.
