2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Bears now have six playmakers that were top-50 draft picks, adding TE Colston Loveland at No. 10 overall and Burden at No. 39 to round out an offense that also includes WR DJ Moore, WR Rome Odunze, TE Cole Kmet and RB D'Andre Swift. Burden's first challenge will be to earn the No. 3 WR job this summer, likely competing against free-agent signing Olamide Zaccheaus. Burden is one of the younger players from his draft class, turning 22 in December, and had a prolific career at Missouri with 2,263 receiving yards, 234 rushing yards and 25 total TDs over three seasons. He was far more productive in 2023 than in 2024, but his draft stock rebounded some after a 4.41 40 at the combine, where he checked in at 6-foot, 206. Burden's dense frame and strong work after the catch have evoked comparisons to his new teammate, Moore, who signed a four-year extension last summer. Chicago isn't the best landing spot to get big-time volume right away, but it could work out well eventually if new coach Ben Johnson helps Caleb Williams recover from an ugly rookie season.

RANKS
One catch in win
Burden caught one pass for 22 yards in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Burden had 51 yards last week and 101 yards in Week 3, so he's becoming more of a factor in the Bears offense. Still, his inconsistency makes him a player to selectively use in fantasy lineups until his weekly targets increase.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Ramping up in training camp
Burden has fully recovered from a hamstring injury he sustained in May and has impressed teammates and coaches during training camp, Courtney Cronin of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Burden got off to a slow start during his first full practice Tuesday, but the rookie second-rounder has ramped up his activity and displayed his blistering speed during the following two days of practice. He's built early chemistry with Caleb Williams, which should help Burden compete with Olamide Zaccheaus and Cole Kmet for targets in the passing game behind top pass catchers DJ Moore and Rome Odunze.
