Outlook Luther Burden
Luther Burden vs NYJ — Target Surge Fuels Flex Appeal
Burden is rolling after commanding 11 targets and scoring his first touchdown of the season in Week 3, cementing his starting role on the outside alongside Rome Odunze. Chicago has increasingly schemed touches for him on early downs, though starting quarterback Caleb Williams missed practice with a hamstring injury, which warrants close monitoring heading into Sunday.
With his start rate climbing back over 53%, fantasy managers are regaining confidence in the second-year receiver. Our models project Burden for 4.4 receptions and 47 receiving yards (11.6 fantasy points), keeping him in the solid flex conversation even in a lower-scoring outdoor matchup against the Jets.

Josh Downs vs. Washington in London — Surging Target Volume Cementing Strong Lineup Value
Downs has seized an expanded role in the Colts' passing attack, commanding 20 targets over the last two weeks with perimeter receiver Alec Pierce recently landing on injured reserve. Operating as the primary slot weapon, Downs has displayed exceptional route running and earned consistent looks from Daniel Jones across all three levels.
Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as his start rate has jumped over 50 percentage points in recent weeks. In a favorable London matchup with a healthy projected game total, our models project Downs for roughly 14.6 fantasy points on nearly 10 targets and 73 receiving yards.
