Outlook Luther Burden
Luther Burden vs PHI — Backup QB Start Dents Flex Outlook
Burden is fully healthy and operating as a starting wide receiver alongside Rome Odunze, having commanded 12 targets and 8 receptions through his first two games. However, Chicago’s aerial attack faces major adversity with Caleb Williams sidelined by a hamstring injury, forcing backup Tyson Bagent into the starting quarterback role on Monday night against Philadelphia.
The quarterback downgrade in a matchup projected for under 42 total points significantly dampens expectations, as evidenced by Burden's start rate dropping to 36%. Our weekly projection slots him for roughly 4 catches and 46 yards (about 9 fantasy points), leaving him as a risky flex option with limited touchdown upside.

Outlook Malik Willis
Malik Willis vs KC at home — steep test against undefeated Chiefs
Willis practiced fully through a minor toe issue and is healthy under center, but the offense faces an uphill battle against Kansas City with receiver Caleb Douglas ruled out. As sizable home underdogs, the Dolphins could see a pass-heavy script, though Willis must navigate heavy defensive pressure after taking multiple sacks across his first two starts.
Started in only 5% of fantasy leagues, Willis carries limited appeal in standard formats. Our weekly projection lands at 12.9 fantasy points, forecasting about 147 passing yards and 18 rushing yards. While his rushing ability offers a baseline, a difficult defensive matchup keeps him as a risky option best reserved for the bench.
