Fantasy Football Week 9 WR picks: Luther Burden III keeps breakout rolling

Date:


In the past three games with Caleb Williams back from his hamstring injury, Luther Burden III and Rome Odunze have come alive. And both should do well again in Week 9 against Tampa Bay.

It’s not an easy matchup since the Buccaneers are No. 6 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. But the Bears didn’t have an easy matchup in Week 8 at Seattle.

Burden had seven catches for 56 yards and a touchdown on nine targets against the Seahawks, and he has now scored at least 17.5 PPR points in three games in a row. He’s worth using as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues.

Odunze had four catches for 87 yards on six targets against Seattle, and he has now scored at least 10.7 PPR points in each of his past two outings. I would start Odunze in all three-receiver leagues.

Tampa Bay shut down the passing attacks of Carolina and Atlanta in the past two games, but prior to that, Dallas and Pittsburgh each had a pair of receivers score at least 12 PPR points in the same game with George Pickens and Ryan Flournoy and DK Metcalf and Germie Bernard.

Burden and Odunze are capable of similar production. And I’m excited to see both perform at a high level against the Buccaneers in Week 9.
