2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Bengals used a third-round pick in the 2024 NFL to select Burton, a deep threat at both Georgia and Alabama who ran a 4.45-second 40-yard dash at the combine. He topped 400 receiving yards in each of his four collegiate seasons, yet never reached 800 while mostly playing in run-first offenses. In Cincinnati, the rookie likely will have to settle for an opportunity to compete for the No. 3 receiver job. Ja'Marr Chase is back as the unquestioned No. 1, and the Bengals don't seem inclined to trade Tee Higgins even if contract negotiations remain at a standstill. If Burton wins the No. 3 job, he won't necessarily be slot-based the way Tyler Boyd was in recent seasons, as both Chase and Higgins are more than capable working inside. At 6-0, 196 pounds, Burton might fit better on the perimeter, where he can challenge defenses downfield without seeing a large number of targets. Any hope for considerable target volume probably entails Chase or Higgins missing time. Read Past Outlooks

Expects to play Thursday
Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that he expects Burton to play Thursday at Baltimore, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Burton was a healthy scratch for Sunday's game versus the Raiders, but it appears he'll get a chance to play in Week 9. If Tee Higgins (quadricep) misses his third straight game Thursday, Burton may even have a realistic path to a significant role on the boundary.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Large role in NFL debut?
Burton could be called upon to play a bigger role in the passing game for Week 1 against the Patriots due to Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins being listed as questionable and doubtful, respectively.
ANALYSIS
Chase is listed with an illness while also negotiating a contract extension, while Higgins has been hampered with a hamstring injury he picked up in practice earlier in the week. Andrei Iosivas is listed as the third wide receiver on the Bengals' depth chart, but if Chase and Higgins were unable to play Week 1, Burton would have an opportunity at an increased number of targets from quarterback Joe Burrow. Despite showing plenty of talent in college, Burton fell to the Bengals in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft due to questions around his professionalism and off-field conduct.
