Humble_Beast Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 who is going to have the better year? Njoku might break out, but Josh Gordan is back, Duke and Landry will get a lot of targets... Plus the team might be run heavy Burton might be a breakout in that system, but I'm not so sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesPeteC Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Burton to me without question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Shaheen injured there's no obstruction for targets for Burton in an offensive scheme that notorious features the move TE and he's been on the field for something like 90+ percent of the first-team snaps this preseason. Also, follow the money - teams don't pay guys the kind of scratch they paid Burton (this isn't some one-year deal) if they don't plan to feature them. Yes, Trubisky isn't blowing anyone's skirt up, but we've seen equivalent or worse QB's get athletic TE's to fantasy success. Njoku, to me, is TD-dependent in a PPR league for consistent week-to-week contributions whereas I think Burton can still get you a serviceable scoreline even if he doesn't happen to snag a score in a given week.

Forge Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Wait, Shaheen is injured? Well, that changes things lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFF Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 With Njoku probably 4th in line for targets with Gordon back, this is without question Burton. Even with Shaheen likely to snipe a few TDs, Burton is far and away the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that changes things lol Low-ankle sprain, but they're still evaluating and it's the sort of thing that's going to make him questionable for Week 1, possibly a little longer and if Trubisky and Burton continue building on their chemistry, again the money is going to dictate Burton gets every opportunity to lose the touches/targets to Shaheen before he actually does.

sammymvpknight Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I'd take Burton is all formats except TD-only. But I do believe that Njoku is on the verge of being an elite TE. It may be 1-2 years from now...but if I was in a dynasty league, it wouldn't be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillSabre Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Unless you believe that Mayfield will be starting sooner rather than later, it’s Burton. Tyrod can’t utilize a TE. He’s to small to sit in the pocket and hit a crossing TE so his play is limited to roll outs that basically eliminate half the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillSabre Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I realize Mayfield is also shorter but he hasn’t shown the obvious limitations Tyrod has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
