Michael Burton Scores Second Career Touchdown On Monday Night
Denver Broncos fullback Michael Burton surprisingly scored just the second touchdown of his career in Monday night's 41-32 shootout win over the Cleveland Browns at Empower Field in Denver. Burton had only one carry on the night, but he made it count, plunging into the end zone from one yard out for the Broncos' second rushing score of the evening in a game that featured big plays all night. It was the 32-year-old's sixth carry of the year in 13 games, and Burton has only run for five yards all season on his six carries. In addition to his six carries, Burton has caught all seven of his targets for 46 yards (6.6 yards per reception). Burton will continue to operate as Denver's fullback the rest of the season, but he's nowhere near the fantasy radar and mainly contributes on special teams.
Kansas City Chiefs fullback Michael Burton saw one carry in a Week 15 victory versus the Los Angeles Chargers. The one carry would wind up being a seven-yard touchdown in the first quarter and his first of the season. Burton is mainly used a blocker in the Chiefs offense and despite the rare end zone celebration, he should remain on the waiver wire in all formats for the teams Week 16 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
New Orleans Saints fullback Michael Burton is active for Sunday's game against the Lions. Burton tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, but an additional test showed that it was a false positive. Burton's not a fantasy relevant play, but his availability for this game shows that the league is willing to make a quick turnaround in terms of getting players with false positive tests back out on the field.
