Hunter Henry or Luther Burden III: Who Should You Start?

Burden’s target-driven PPR ceiling edges Henry’s steadier role

Burden’s target-heavy WR-2 role and manufactured touches give him the better PPR ceiling, especially in a stronger scoring setup; his after-catch ability can turn short looks into points. Henry’s TE1 role, heavier snap load and stronger standing within his position keep this close, but his much smaller slice of the passing game is a real constraint. Chicago’s favored script could trim Burden’s late-game volume, the clearest risk in backing him; the matchup difference itself is too slight to decide it.

What flips it: A meaningful loss of Burden’s WR-2 role or manufactured-touch usage.

In standard and half-PPR scoring this is a coin flip.
