Luther Burden

Zaccheaus signed a one-year deal with the Bears this offseason and wound up being a thorn in the side of Luther Burden's fantasy managers for the first half of the season. The veteran receiver occupied his normal role in the slot early in the year, but later saw more work on the outside. Zaccheaus caught 39 passes for 313 yards and two touchdowns in the regular season, and finished the year with the third most routes run (335) of any Bears receiver, per PFF. Whether he's back with the Bears in 2026 or playing elsewhere, Zaccheaus seems destined to play out the rest of his career on one-year deals and will likely ink another deal similar to his current one this offseason.

Moore came up clutch in the second quarter when he hauled in a three-yard score on fourth-and-goal from the Rams' three-yard line. Moore's most notable play, however, may have come in overtime, when he appeared to pull up on a route while being targeted by Caleb Williams, which resulted in an easy interception for the defense that eventually led to a game-winning field goal by Harrison Mevis seven plays later. Moore saw his numbers dip drastically in 2025. His 50 receptions marked a new career low, as did his 682 receiving yards, but he still managed to find the end zone six times. The veteran receiver will be 29 at the start of next season and is under contract through the 2029 season. Despite his decreased role, Moore carries a dead cap hit just north of $35 million, so any idea of releasing him is likely off the table. That said, he could prove expendable this offseason if the team likes how Rome Odunze and Luther Burden are developing, which means a trade could be on the table for another team looking to upgrade the position. Moore's situation will be one to monitor as the Bears consider their options this offseason and where he fits in their plans.

Despite making some obvious strides in his development in his second season, Odunze still has a way to go if he hopes to look like a player worthy of the No. 9 overall pick the Bears used to draft him in 2024. Were it not for five games missed due to injury, Odunze would likely have been looking at a career-year in 2025. Instead, his 44 receptions and 661 receiving yards both fell below his rookie line of 54-734-3 from last season. Depending on what happens with DJ Moore this offseason, Odunze could have a chance to see an increased role in 2026. Of course, he'll also be battling with second-year players Luther Burden and Colston Loveland, who made notable strides of their own late in the season. Odunze will likely settle in somewhere as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3 in fantasy drafts next season, but could turn into a nice value if he's able to take another step in his third season.

Burden's season got off to a slow start, but in his final four regular-season games, the rookie second-rounder went for 21-324-1 on 26 targets. Burden managed just 66 scoreless yards on six receptions this postseason, but was still targeted 14 times in those two games. Burden showed enough flashes to warrant a larger role next season. How the Bears work him into that role will be determined in the offseason. His late-season emergence makes Burden an early breakout candidate for the 2026 season as does his 0.258 targets per route run over this final six games (regular and postseason).

He produced a 6/64/1 receiving line against the Packers in the Wild Card round on seven targets and is likely in line for the same kind of volume as the Bears manage Rome Odunze's foot. Moore will definitely be a DFS consideration this week behind Colston Loveland and Luther Burden in what would figure to be the highest-scoring game of the weekend.
