Why It Matters: Like most of Chicago's offense, Burden was electric early on but did little over the game's final 40 or so minutes. His night ended prematurely after taking a blow to the head that resulted in a lost fumble. After the game, head coach Ben Johnson indicated that Burden had suffered a concussion. With the team on bye next Sunday, he'll get an extra week to clear the NFL's concussion protocol. Assuming he does, Burden should be right back in your lineup in Week 11 as a WR2.
