Luther Burden III (ankle) will play in Week 17 at San Francisco after lacking Week 16 in opposition to Inexperienced Bay, and I like him as a borderline starter in all leagues. He has the possibility for an enormous sport in opposition to the 49ers.
Rome Odunze (foot) is out once more, and Burden can have an enormous position alongside D.J. Moore. The final time we noticed Burden earlier than he missed the Packers sport, he was having a breakout efficiency in opposition to Cleveland in Week 15 with six catches for 84 yards on seven targets in simply over a half.
Burden additionally performed nicely in Week 14 at Inexperienced Bay with 4 catches for 67 yards on six targets, and this needs to be a high-scoring sport in opposition to the 49ers. San Francisco has allowed 19 receivers to attain no less than 11.2 PPR factors this season, together with Alec Pierce and Josh Downs in Week 16.
I nonetheless like D.J. Moore the very best of Chicago’s receivers, and he has scored no less than 21.9 PPR factors in two video games in a row and in three of his previous 5 outings. Moore is value trusting as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues.
However Burden will probably be ranked simply behind Moore, and I count on Burden to play nicely on this sport. He has the possibility to assist loads of Fantasy managers in Week 17.
