Trey Burton Fantasy

Indianapolis Colts tight end Trey Burton had a great fantasy day with four catches for 58 yards and a touchdown, and he also picked up a one-yard rushing touchdown. Burton has now seen at least five targets in all three games since returning from injury and is becoming the clear No. 1 tight end on the team. He is catching 68 percent of his targets on the season, so he has clearly been adept at getting open and making contested catches when need be. Based on Burton's ascension, he should be considered as a fantasy option every week going forward. Today's fantasy performance is likely his ceiling, but he has the potential to put up solid fantasy performances every week.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Trey Burton will look to continue his ascension in a favorable matchup against the Bengals this week. In Burton's two games since returning from injury, he has the most targets among Colts tight ends, seeing 11 targets in two games. For reference, fellow tight ends Jack Doyle and Mo Alie-Cox have seen just six total targets between the two of them over the last two games. Burton is clearly becoming the featured tight end in this offense, and the Bengals rank 21st in the league against opposing tight ends. He has seen right around half the team's snaps over the last two weeks, so this should give him the opportunity to be a decent tight end option in Week 6.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Trey Burton caught five passes for 33 yards on six targets in a loss against the Browns. Burton missed the first few games due to injury but has now seen 11 targets over his last two games. He is not quite a reliable fantasy option yet, but it is clear that the Colts are trying to feature him in the offense. Philip Rivers has worked well with tight ends over his career, and he is struggling to build a rapport with any of his receivers. Burton will have a really good opportunity to build on this performance against the Bengals in Week 6. Look for him to be a possible tight end option in deeper leagues next week.
