Trends


"Johnson is entering his third NFL season having racked up 186 touches in 29 games during his first two seasons. The 2023 fourth-round pick impressed, especially as a receiver, in a limited rookie-season role (115 touches), but with D'Andre Swift brought in as lead back in 2024, Johnson dripped to 71 touches. That wasn't enough to allow consistent fantasy value, but he was busy near the goal line, matching Swift's six TDs and eight carries inside the 5 yard line. The 25-year-old enters 2025 competing with rookie Kyle Monangai to be Swift's primary backup. Johnson has some late-round insurance appeal."


"Johnson popped up on Wednesday's injury report with a thumb injury. He ended up missing all three practices during the week before being ruled out from playing Sunday against Pittsburgh. With Johnson's placement on IR, he'll now miss at least three more games beyond Sunday, making his earliest return date Dec. 20 versus Green Bay. The Bears signed Brittain Brown to their 53-man roster from the practice squad Saturday to replace Johnson as the team's No. 3 running back."

Luther Burden III

Draft: RD 2, PICK 39
Injury Status: H

Trends


"Burden was selected by Chicago in the second round of April's draft. He is a bit undersized (his 8.5-inch hands tied for smallest in this class), but he's very young (21) and was highly relied upon and productive during three seasons at Missouri. He's fast with terrific playmaking ability and can align all over the formation. Burden is set to replace Keenan Allen as Chicago's slot man, but there are a lot of mouths to feed in an offense that also includes DJ Moore, Rome Odunze and Colston Loveland. Consistent Year 1 fantasy production is unlikely, so Burden is only worth a late flier."


"Burden went without a catch in the first half before reeling in three passes after the break. The wide receiver was unable to build off of his recent momentum, recording his fewest catches since Week 12 and his lowest yardage total in four weeks. Burden will finish his rookie campaign having caught 47 of 60 targets for 652 yards and two touchdowns while also turning six carries into 37 yards over 15 regular-season contests, and he'll now make his postseason debut in the wild-card round against the Packers next weekend."

Luther Burden III's receiving yards have increased by 172.64% over the past 6 weeks.

Luther Burden III's target share has increased by 96.57% over the past 8 weeks.

Luther Burden III's targets have increased by 153.33% over the past 12 weeks.

Luther Burden III's receptions have increased by 120.0% over the past 8 weeks.

Luther Burden III's rushing yards per attempt has decreased by 75.0+% over the past 6 weeks.
