QUESTIONABLE
Added Monday morning; no body part reported yet
Latest
Luther Burden III’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. He was added to our injury feed early Monday morning as questionable with an undisclosed issue, days after he’d missed all three preseason games with a groin injury in August before returning to practice and being cleared for the opener, per Yardbarker.
In the Week 1 opener against Carolina he caught all five targets for 63 yards on 56% of the snaps, up from a 39.7% share as a rookie. In Week 2 against Minnesota he drew a team-high seven targets, catching three for 32 yards, per CBS Sports.
Fantasy Action: Burden carries a fresh questionable tag with no body part disclosed yet, so confirm his status on the live injury report before locking him in; he’s a flex-range receiver whose target share has grown in his second season, and his ceiling depends heavily on who is under center for Chicago.
