Trey Burton (TE, PHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues

OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Burton has gotten more involved recently thanks to the smattering of injuries to Philadelphia’s offense, as he saw nine targets in Week 13 against the Bengals to the tune of five catches for 53 yards. The Eagles really don’t have much left in the wide-receiver pipeline with Jordan Matthews (ankle) and Dorial Green-Beckham (ribs) banged up, and their running back situation is still pretty ugly with Ryan Mathews on the shelf. This has led to more multiple-TE sets, and Brent Celek is strictly a blocker. That means Burton has seen more love in the passing game. This is one of the more distant dart throws that you could attempt, but there’s some rationale here moving into a matchup with Washington.
