Bears' Luther Burden: Inconsistent role continues
Burden caught three passes for 27 yards on five targets in the Bears' 19-17 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Burden has alternated between usable and quiet performances, posting four games under 28 yards and three with at least 51 over his last seven contests. Until he earns a larger share of Chicago's passing volume, he'll remain a volatile depth option in fantasy lineups.

Bears' Luther Burden: Solid yardage total in win
Burden caught three passes for 51 yards on three targets in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Burden has posted at least 51 yards in three of eight contests this season and has drawn between one and four targets in every game. His low target volume keeps him a depth fantasy option who is useful mainly as a bench stash in fantasy leagues.

Bears' Luther Burden: Returning to face Giants
Burden (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.
After missing one game in concussion protocol, Burden is back to fill his usual role as the No. 4 receiver and (at times) kick returner. He's shown flashes of the talent that made him a top-50 pick in April, but the Bears seem pleased with Olamide Zaccheaus as their No. 3 receiver for now.

Bears' Luther Burden: Gets in another full practice
Burden (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Though Bears head coach Ben Johnson hasn't yet confirmed that Burden has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, all signs point to the rookie wideout being able to play this Sunday against the Giants. After sitting out the Bears' Week 9 win over the Bengals while recovering from the head injury, Burden has turned in two full practices to kick off Week 10 prep. Meanwhile, fellow wideouts DJ Moore (hip/groin) and Rome Odunze (ankle/heel) were limited Thursday, so Burden could have a clear path to a top-three role if either or both of Moore and Odunze aren't available Sunday.

Bears' Luther Burden: Listed as full participant
Burden (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Burden appears to be near gaining clearance from the NFL's concussion protocol, the last step of which involves consultation with an independent neurologist. The rookie second-round pick was unable to suit up Week 9 versus the Bengals due to his injury. Meanwhile, both DJ Moore (hip/groin) and Rome Odunze (ankle/heel) missed Wednesday's practice, though both managed to play through their injuries versus Cincinnati.

Bears' Luther Burden: Not playing in Week 9
Burden (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Cincinnati.
Burden suffered a concussion during this past Sunday's loss at Baltimore and wasn't able to practice in any capacity during Week 9 prep. With no progress to speak of yet through the protocol for head injuries, he could be in danger of missing multiple contests. Meanwhile, the rest of the Bears' banged-up wide receivers don't have designations going into the weekend, meaning Rome Odunze (heel), DJ Moore (hip/groin) and Olamide Zaccheaus (knee) all are poised for their typical roles in the passing game.

Bears' Luther Burden: Sidelined for another practice
Burden (concussion) didn't practice Thursday.
Since exiting this past Sunday's loss to the Ravens with a concussion, Burden hasn't made enough progress through the NFL's five-step protocol to take part in any on-field work. At this stage, Burden appears to be facing an uphill battle to play this weekend in Cincinnati.

Bears' Luther Burden: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Burden (concussion) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice.
Burden didn't return to this past Sunday's loss at Baltimore after being concussed early in the third quarter. He was joined as a non-participant Wednesday by fellow WRs Rome Odunze (heel), DJ Moore (hip/groin) and Olamide Zaccheaus (knee). Burden himself will need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to have a chance to play Sunday at Cincinnati, but a DNP to begin Week 9 prep isn't exactly a great sign for upcoming active status.

Bears' Luther Burden: Out with concussion
Burden has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Ravens due to a concussion, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Burden went to the locker room after Chicago's first drive of the third quarter, and after being evaluated, has been ruled out for the rest of the game. The 21-year-old rookie brought in his only target for minus-1 yard before his exit, and in his absence the rest of the way, additional opportunities could be available for Olamide Zaccheaus behind starters Rome Odunze and DJ Moore.

Bears' Luther Burden: One catch in win
Burden caught one pass for 22 yards in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Burden had 51 yards last week and 101 yards in Week 3, so he's becoming more of a factor in the Bears offense. Still, his inconsistency makes him a player to selectively use in fantasy lineups until his weekly targets increase.

Bears' Luther Burden: Solid effort on MNF
Burden finished with four receptions on as many targets for 51 yards in Monday's 25-24 win over Washington.
Burden bounced back nicely from the disappointing two-catch performance we saw prior to Chicago's Week 5 bye. The rookie slot receiver finished with more receiving yards than DJ Moore (42) and Rome Odunze (32) as QB Caleb Williams distributed the ball more evenly amongst his talented group of receivers Monday. Burden's production has fluctuated wildly on a week-to-week basis, making it hard to bank on his production against the Saints in Week 7.
