Luther Burden III is poised to make an impact for the Chicago Bears in the 2025 season, despite a challenging offseason due to a soft tissue injury. Drafted 39th overall, Burden is projected for 48.4 receptions, 598.3 receiving yards, and 3.2 touchdowns. His ADP of 90.8 reflects his potential as a sleeper pick.

Burden's role as a potential No. 3 receiver in a dynamic offense under head coach Ben Johnson could maximize his strengths in yards after catch. Competing with Olamide Zaccheaus and Devin Duvernay, his fantasy value hinges on developing chemistry with quarterback Caleb Williams and securing a significant role.

For fantasy managers, Burden is a middle-to-late round dart throw with upside if he climbs the depth chart. His ability to thrive in manufactured touches aligns with the Bears' offensive scheme, making him a potential high-upside asset in dynasty leagues if he overcomes early hurdles.
