Luther Burden III erupted in Week 3 vs Dallas, catching 3 for 101 yards and a TD, aided by a 65-yard flea-flicker. Deep targets fueled 66.7% of his Week 3 routes.

His role remains a high-ceiling deep threat, likely WR3 with a 24% snap share and six targets across three weeks. Week 3 highlighted go routes, deep posts, and deep corners.

Chicago’s plan to surround Caleb Williams with Moore, Odunze, and Loveland hints Burden could be a big-play driver for a Bears offense built to sustain vertical shots.

Week 4 waiver targets surface with a blend of immediate contributors and high-upside windfalls. Troy Franklin anchors Denver’s pass game while Elic Ayomanor builds with Cam Ward in Tennessee. Calvin Austin III and Tre Tucker offer late-week upside; Tory Horton and Parker Washington push for expanded roles in Seattle and Jacksonville. Alec Pierce’s status adds risk, Luther Burden III sits behind Chicago’s top trio, and Tyquan Thornton remains KC’s home-run option as Worthy returns slowly.
