NFL 2018: Top 12 0.5 PPR NFL Fantasy Tight Ends

#8 Trey Burton – Chicago Bears – 2017 total = 68.3

NFL: JAN 21 NFC Championship Game - Vikings at Eagles

Burton was one of the most sought after Free Agents this offseason when his contract with the Philadelphia Eagles expired.

He was the TE2 in Philly last year behind Zach Ertz, but when the latter went down with injury, Burton showed he could step up and produce for his team by scoring 5 touchdowns from just 23 receptions.

The 6’3, 26-year-old out of Florida, was snapped up by the Bears, where he will immediately go in as the TE1 in a promising offense.

Second-year QB Mitchell Trubisky has more weapons at his disposal, with the signings of Burton, Taylor Gabriel and Allen Robinson and the team drafting Anthony Miller in the 2nd round.

Burton will greatly benefit from the Bears hiring Matt Nagy from the Kansas City Chiefs. Nagy, who was the OC in Kansas City, heavily relied on their tight ends to produce and put up big numbers. This is why I have Burton ranked so highly.
