Who Should I Start? Roman Wilson or Luther Burden III

Tuesday, November 11, 9:55 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson hauled in two of his three targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in a Week 10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Though he logged just a 35% snap share, Wilson tied DK Metcalf to lead the team in receiving on a forgettable night for Pittsburgh's offense. It's also worth noting that fellow receiver Calvin Austin III struggled with drops and caused an interception in the fourth quarter. Going forward, it wouldn't be shocking to see Wilson earn more playing time. It is clear that the Steelers need another weapon to step up for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and Wilson has flashed upside with two scores in the past three weeks. He shouldn't be considered a viable option in most redraft formats, but Wilson could surprise this week against the Cincinnati Bengals.

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.
