BALLER MOVE: Target ~90
CURRENT ADP: ~100
ANALYSIS: After spending years trapped behind Zach Ertz in Philly, Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton is free to spread his wings in Chicago. He projects to have a substantial increase in target volume as a starter versus being purely a backup to start his career.
Burton has been productive just about every time he has been on the field, but he just has not had the usage necessary to be fantasy relevant outside of weeks where Ertz missed games. This will not be the case in Chicago, where Zach Miller was on his way to a TE1 season before his season was cut short via injury. Even with the competition for targets in Chicago, Burton projects to be a solid TE1 in his first season as a starter. While he does not have the ceiling of other TE in the top-10, his floor is pretty solid and he should be selected as a starting TE.
