Luther Burden III Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Bears WR D.J. Moore (hip, groin) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Ben Johnson labeled him "day-to-day" yesterday, but we don't have any other details on Moore's injuries. He doesn't seem like a particularly good bet to play vs. the Saints this weekend, but we'll keep you updated on his status. Moore's absence would likely mean a big boost in snaps for rookie WR Luther Burden.

WR Luther Burden led the Bears with 4 receptions in Monday night's win over the Commanders. He caught all four of his targets for 51 yards, led by a 37-yard deep ball. WR Olamide Zaccheaus led the team with six targets in a contest that found QB Caleb Williams spreading around his 29 pass attempts. Rome Odunze and D.J. Moore tied for second with five targets. Two other Bears followed Burden with three targets apiece. Despite the reception lead, however, the rookie saw no role growth coming out of the bye.

Bears rookie WR Luther Burden announced himself with 101 yards and a TD on 3 receptions in Sunday's win over the Cowboys. He led Chicago in receiving yards and tied for second on the team in catches. But he's not yet ready to be considered for your fantasy lineup in most cases.

During Friday’s joint practice with the Buffalo Bills, rookie WR Luther Burden III ran with the Bears second-team offense, according to Greg Braggs Jr. of CHGO Sports.

Bears HC Ben Johnson likes the progress he's seen from WR Luther Burden lately. The rookie missed much of the spring and the start of training camp with a hamstring injury. But he's been healthy for a couple of weeks now and is starting to flash the skill set that made him the 39th overall pick of this spring's draft.

Bears WR Luther Burden returned to practice on Monday, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. The rookie missed time this spring and early in training camp with a hamstring injury.

Bears WR Luther Burden did not participate in Wednesday's training camp practice. The rookie was also sidelined for much of the spring with a hamstring injury. HC Ben Johnson said back in June that Burden would be ready for the start of camp. There have been no updates since then, though, so it's unclear if Burden suffered a setback or is dealing with a new injury.

Bears WR Luther Burden III hasn’t practiced since rookie minicamp in early May due to a soft tissue injury. However, HC Ben Johnson said this week that Burden's on track to suit up for the start of training camp.

The first episode of the Patriots' "Forged in Foxborough" web series revealed that the team had multiple offers for the 38th overall pick in the draft. Instead of moving, though, New England stayed and selected Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson. The offers:

• Pick 39 plus a seventh-rounder from Chicago
• Picks 58 and 79 plus a 2026 third-rounder "possibly from Houston"

Bears HC Ben Johnson sounded very excited about rookie WR Luther Burden in the team's post-draft press conference. "Stud," Johnson said of Burden. "He’s a playmaker waiting to happen. ... For 6 foot and 200+ pounds, it’s rare to see someone with his movement skills. He can stop on a dime and accelerate just like that. Give him a little bit of space, and he can make big things happen. A dangerous player and weapon. ... I see big things in his future."
