Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III had four receptions (on four targets) for 130 yards and a touchdown in Week 7 against the New England Patriots.
Why It Matters: In two games since Caleb Williams returned, Burden has caught 12 passes for 225 yards and a touchdown. That's the kind of production fantasy owners were hoping for when the Bears jettisoned DJ Moore to open up more opportunities for the second-year wideout. Burden is a perfect fit for what Ben Johnson wants to do offensively as most of his targets are safe throws for Williams that Burden then turns into chunk yardage. After looking like an WR3/WR4 type for the first month-plus, Burden has solidified his status as a WR3 and is starting to creep toward WR2 status.
