SUMMARY

Wide Receiver Rank: #56
Overall: #168

Burleson enjoyed one of his better seasons as a pro, setting a career high in receptions with 73. His 757-receiving yards also were the third highest of his career. He didn't have a 100-yard game but seven games with 50-plus yards. He got pretty consistent work in a very good Lions passing game. In two seasons with the Lions, Burleson averages 64 receptions for 691 yards and five touchdowns per season. He could lose out on more playing time this year, though, with second-year receiver Titus Young emerging in the offense. Young could take Burleson's starting spot in the offense. Burleson has just one 1,000-yard season for his career, but has topped 600 yards four of the last five years. Injuries have derailed Burleson some, but he has been pretty healthy the past few seasons. Burleson isn't a speed burner, but has decent hands and runs solid routes.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Burleson probably won't top last season with Young around. He could still get around 700 yards and a few scores in a very good offense. Consider him a No. 4 or 5 fantasy receiver. He isn't going to have a sudden breakout, huge season.
