Benching Burton as well - but be prepared - he's going to put up some good games while benched - and it might be today

Playing him over Anthony Miller. I can still move Gronk out for Josh Adams should bad news strike him between now and Sunday.
Couldn't get myself to pull the trigger on dropping him before Thursday, and as the old saying goes, he who hesitates loses out on Brate (that's what Jim Carrey is saying in that clip, right?) 
Anyway, I guess I'm stuck with him ROS. My expectations are low, but the whole position is garbage this year, and it's not like anyone else out there on the WW is tearing it up.

I'm only holding because I think his upside is still there. He seems like a boom/bust guy. Compared to what's on my wire, I'll keep him.

Not much out there for me either. Have to ride with him and hope he scores a TD. Debated on adding Vance but don't trust him enough.

Same here. It's Burton or the likes of Junno Smith, LaCosse or Everett. I like LaCosse's playoff schedule but not convinced he'll play any better than a 3rd string TE despite being thrown into the Denver starting job because of injuries. Until then, it's Burton or Bust

you guys like Burton or Herndon for ROS?

Honestly, I don't think getting the ball to Burton is a concern for Nagy. I have no idea why he pushed to pay Burton such a huge salary just to use him as a blocker and like the 4th or 5th option on the field, but apparently that's what happened. Nagy doesn't draw up plays for the guy. Burton isn't the first or second option on ANY play, nor is he ever the escape valve.
He was overhyped unfortunately and I'm ecstatic that I never dropped Ebron. Happy to be off the Nagy Train.

Thinking along the same lines. LaCosse is tempting bc of great schedule but who knows how much he’ll be used.

I do like LaCosse's schedule coming up but until he proves something I'm rolling with Burton. I read somewhere (maybe Twiter?) that if you combined all of Butt's, Heuerman's and LaCosse's performances this season you'd have the #7 TE in PPR. Now LaCosse is the only one left standing. But I've gotten this far with (or despite) Burton so I'll stick with him . . . . for now.

Is this bum droppable in all formats ?

Don't mess with Texas
Giving it another year this will be the 2nd year in this system IIRC. There’s a few good TEs eligible for 2020 so in Dynasty I’m holding.

He seems to be only good with Wentz or Foles as his QB. I have no idea how the Bears use him or anything but he seems to be so mis used in Chicago. It's really upsetting

As a Bears homer, Burton has been a major disappointment. Way too hot/cold for FF usage and groin injuries tend to linger... He’s an emergency/bye fill-in at this point and that’s if only he gets that groin healed up.
Nagy is not using TEs anywhere near as much as Reid in KC. Shaheen has been banged up most of camp with core injuries in case anyone’s wondering if he’s worth a flier. He might get some RZ looks, but I’d stay away from all CHI TEs until a clear trend of usage emerges in year 2 of the offense.

It looks like Burton is due $6.8M in new money in 2020 which the Bears will save if they cut him. So that is plenty of incentive to get rid of him. However, $4M of that is guaranteed for injury and becomes fully guaranteed if he's still on the roster on March 22, 2020. So that could be a complication.

I can not picture him ever being fantasy-relevant...remember, he was a projection player when he signed the big deal, he really hadn't done too much (at least as far as securing a contract like that) but definitely looked the part and when Philly won the title his value soared...he is 28 and really banged up...too me it would be a complete waste of a roster spot.

What a big waste of money in 2 leagues for me. I had signed him his last year in Philly in 2 leagues to end the year but 2 of them were contract leagues and had to pay $20 to keep him then singed him to a 4 year deal. So tied up 4 years of contact and $20 not to mention a roster spot. Complete waste on all fronts.
Sure hope Higbee isn't Burton 2.0.

Redskins should sign him to a prove-it deal immediately.
Jeremy Sprinkle as your starting TE is like Bruce Allen leaving a flaming bag of poo on your porch as a parting gift.

He's not. Higbee showed more in the last 6 weeks of last year, than Burton ever has. With Cooks now gone too, I fully expect Higbee to be a top-5 TE next season.
Burton is likely going to be a nice cheap steal for some team. He's a decent player, and better than what a lot of teams are starting at TE, if he can be healthy.

Everett was the main guy last year until he got hurt was having a mini break out season while Higbee was going through his 4th straight year of fantasy irrelevance. All of a sudden after Everett goes down Higbee for the first time in over 3 and 1/2 seasons is finally relevant. We shall see.
