Luther Burden vs. Buccaneers — Primetime Showcase Awaits Explosive Second-Year Playmaker

Burden has solidified his starting role opposite Rome Odunze, flashing dynamic run-after-catch ability for Caleb Williams. The second-year receiver has found the end zone in two straight contests, tallying three touchdowns through Chicago's first eight games as the 6–2 Bears carry a three-game winning streak into Sunday night.

Fantasy managers have responded by pushing his start rate up to 88%. Our projection expects Burden to haul in around five catches on six targets for 66 yards and 15.4 fantasy points against Tampa Bay. With a favorable 47.5-point total, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.

Malik Willis at IND: Sidelined on Injured Reserve

Willis is out for Week 10 after Miami placed him on injured reserve with a groin issue that developed into a core muscle injury. He will miss at least four games, leaving Kyle McCord next up for the 1–7 Dolphins. While not season-ending, the ailment noticeably limited his mobility against Detroit.

With our weekly projection at zero, Willis belongs on benches, and his roster rate has dropped from 43% to 13% this week. Before going down, he tallied 1,396 passing yards, 232 rushing yards, and nine total touchdowns across eight games, though he struggled over his last two outings. Check back often for the latest updates on his recovery and potential late-season return.
