Trey Burton Fantasy

Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton will face a Redskins Defense in Week 3 that has allowed the eighth most fantasy points to opposing tight ends through the first two games. Burton returned to action last week from a groin injury but caught only two passes for five yards. Burton is an integral part of the Bears offense but questions remain whether he is 100% healthy. Even if he is active, Burton will struggle to crack the top-15 among tight ends in fantasy for Week 3.

Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton caught only two passes for five yards in the Bears gritty, come-from-behind win over the Broncos 16-14. Burton has missed most of training camp plus the first game of the season recovering from sports hernia surgery and a groin injury. Burton did not fill up the box score, but his presence in the running game was felt. The threat of Burton on the field also opened up some easier throws for quarterback Mitch Trubisky. Health will be key moving forward but Burton should be able to produce more than five yards in upcoming games.

Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton (groin) is active in Week 2 against the Broncos after sitting out the season opener last week. In an offense that didn't look very impressive in Week 1, Burton shouldn't be in many starting fantasy lineups Sunday on the road against a respectable defense, although Denver did allow a big game to Darren Waller last Monday night. Burton could split snaps with Adam Shaheen, making him a low-end, touchdown-dependent TE2 for fantasy owners. There are plenty of better options at the tight end position.
