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.

Kendre Miller vs. Falcons — Contingency Flex Appeal Amid Backfield Injuries
Kendre Miller enters Week 4 healthy, and his roster rate climbed to 20% this week as lead running back Travis Etienne manages a hamstring injury. Working in New Orleans' rotational backfield behind Etienne and Alvin Kamara, Miller has seen sporadic touches through three games, highlighted by a four-carry, two-reception performance last week.
Our weekly projection expects a modest workload for Miller, forecasting roughly 5 carries for 18 rushing yards and one reception totaling 5.4 fantasy points. In a competitive home matchup against Atlanta, he functions primarily as a touchdown-dependent deep-league play, though fantasy managers should consider stashing him in case backfield injuries expand his role.
