WR Jermaine Burton, CIN (1 Viewer)

That all being said, he seems to be in the doghouse early on (no surprise) so don’t expect much from him early in the season. I don’t doubt in his talent though, and if he gets the opportunity to play, look out. Even a regular WR3 role would be flex worthy.

I see him less as “in the doghouse” and more “Iosivas is the incumbent, and has also shown well at camp”

Higgins is gone next year. Burton should get some PT this year and looks better suited to playing outside in the Higgins role.

Burton could prove to be an excellent buy-low for the patient dynasty manager.

Agree on this, he is clearly below the vets but every pre-season game he goes in and tears it up. He admits he needs to know the playbook better. They are making him earn it. He Is a great long term play in dynasty.

Sheesh! This report on Jermaine Burton reads more like a hit piece than a player update. That said, we know that character concerns were the reason that Burton dropped in the Draft. The talent is undeniable. I just hope his character can catch up to his ability.

Andres Iosivas is the one to grab if Chase sits. Iosivas should have standalone value as the Bengals WR3 even if Chase signs and plays like Tyler Boyd did before his departure.

sometimes there exists a talent so exquisite, that universe aligns all the stars for him to explode...


this is it.

Please get a chance. It'd be awesome to see him blow up with a good stat line W1

Stashed him in 12 team 3 WR league just to see if his value moves at all this week.

Zac Taylor on Jermaine Burton: “I think Jermaine has made progress…he will continue to get opportunities.”

Taylor notes, just like Iosivas & Jones last year, it’s difficult as a rookie WR to immediately play to your full potential in his offense. Burton got 4 snaps in Week 1.

As much as I would like to see a breakout while Higgins is down, I'm not expecting much of an uptick from week 1. In dynasty, I'm viewing Burton as a must-hold through the beginning of 2025 unless the knucklehead factor becomes too large.

At least he was active which is better than the Brendan rice or Washington types lol

dynasty = patience, redraft = what in the hell do you expect?

Got a pretty decent pff grade on all 4 of his snaps and 1 route too!

Redraft = I WANT to pick him up and have him go Puka. What do we expect? Probably not Puka. haha

How do we feel about him in Dynasty? Burton is one of my favorite trade targets right now. Higgins, ain't it. Burton's price will CLIMB the moment he gets his opportunity and produces. He's a cheap gamble when owners are looking for immediate points.

I’m holding. The team comments seem to have had a positive impact on his maturity, and now word is coming out that he’s coming along.

The talent isn’t in question (though Burrow called him out for his hands early on)

Higgins is almost assuredly gone next year and Burton fits that outside receiver mold across from Chase. There’s a scenario where he’s a viable FF WR as soon as next season.

Strong hold IMO.

Higgins is back at practice.

I don’t see a scenario where Burton is FF relevant in redraft outside of multiple WR injuries.
