Jermaine Burton - Page 4 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

One long catch Burton caught one pass for 41 yards in the Bengals' loss to the Eagles in Week 8. He played a season-high 24 snaps and had three total targets.

Impact Burton isn't asked to do too much in the Bengals' offense, but with Tee Higgins (quad) out, he was on the field far more frequently. Teammate Andrei Iosivas hasn't been getting open regularly, so it's possible that Burton could start to earn more playing time at his expense in the near future.

Here's Why Jermaine Burton Was Inactive on Sunday vs Giants The rookie wide receiver was inactive for the first time in his career.

OCTOBER 14, 2024 • SI.COM

Inactive Sunday night Burton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Giants.

Impact The Bengals' fifth wide receiver has played on 21 offensive snaps this season and been targeted twice. Burton has one catch for 47 yards and no scores.

OCTOBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not targeted again Burton failed to record a single target in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Panthers.

Impact Burton played just four of the Bengals' 67 offensive snaps Sunday, as the rookie wideout continues to be an afterthought in Cincinnati's offense. With Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Andrei Iosivas all healthy, Burton remains far off the fantasy radar for a Week 5 matchup against the Ravens.

OCTOBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not involved in loss Burton failed to record a single target in Monday's 38-33 loss to the Commanders.

Impact Operating as the Bengals' No. 4 receiver, Burton only played three of Cincinnati's 62 offensive snaps Monday with Tee Higgins returning from injury. The rookie wideout was not targeted in the contest and will likely continue to find it difficult to see much playing time behind Higgins, Ja'Marr Chase and Andrei Iosivas going forward. Burton should not be trusted for fantasy purposes in a Week 4 matchup against the Panthers.

One catch against Chiefs Burton reeled in one of his two targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Burton's lone catch Sunday was his first of the season. The rookie played just 10 of the Bengals' 64 offensive snaps in the contest, leaving him limited opportunities to establish a more prominent role in the passing game. Burton is buried on Cincinnati's wide receiver depth chart, and with veteran teammate Tee Higgins (hamstring) nearing a return from injury, the first-year wideout will likely continue to see struggle to see consistent playing time. The Bengals host the Commanders in Week 3.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sees little playing time Week 1 Burton played four of the Bengals' 51 snaps on offense and went without a target in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Even with Tee Higgins (hamstring) inactive for the contest and with Ja'Marr Chase handling a slightly lower snap share (84 percent) than normal after sitting out all of training camp and the preseason, Burton couldn't carve out much of a role on offense in his NFL debut. Andrei Iosivas filled in for Higgins in the starting lineup and played all 51 snaps, while Trent Irwin (33 snaps) and Charlie Jones (eight snaps) also saw more work than Burton. The rookie third-round pick appears to be viewed as more of a developmental piece and looks to be a long way away from delivering value in redraft leagues.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Professionalism questioned Though Burton has made some highlight-reel plays in the preseason demonstrating his talent, he has also at times displayed why he slipped in the draft, raising questions about his...

Impact There's a reason why Burton was appearing late in games, and not with the first two units. One report was an unverified remark by Al Michaels of Burton sleeping through meetings, and quarterback Joe Burrow said that Burton needs to "stay in the playbook." Burton is clearly behind Andrei Iosivas right now, and might be behind Trenton Irwin.

Second TD in three preseason games Burton caught four of five targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 27-14 preseason loss to the Colts.

Impact Burton failed to come down with a one-handed catch attempt down the sideline from Logan Woodside in the first quarter after his first catch went for no gain, but the rookie third-round draft pick racked up 35 yards in a three-play span in the third quarter before catching a 21-yard touchdown in the fourth to account for 56 of Woodside's 98 passing yards. Cincinnati didn't play its starters Thursday, so Burton's participation in the game is further evidence that he's behind Ja'Marr Chase (contract dispute), Tee Higgins and Andrei Iosivas on the wide receiver depth chart heading into the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the Patriots. Burton scored two touchdowns in three preseason games, so it may be just a matter of time before he earns a larger role.

Hauls in lone target Burton caught his lone target for a 19-yard gain in Saturday's 27-3 preseason loss to Chicago.

Impact Burton started and got a lot of playing time early, while Ja'Marr Chase (contract), Tee Higgins, Andrei Iosivas and Trenton Irwin all were rested. Higgins, Iosivas and Irwin all worked ahead of Burton in the previous preseason game, but Burton came on strong in the second half to finish with a 3-82-1 receiving line on four targets in a loss to the Bucs. While he had a quieter game Saturday against Chicago and may enter Week 1 as a backup, Burton has at least done enough to give the Bengals some reminder of why they took him in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Starting the season lower on the depth chart doesn't mean he'll stay there all year.

Paces pass catchers Saturday Burton secured three of four targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 17-14 preseason loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday night.

Impact The rookie logged 18 snaps and surprisingly didn't enter the game until the 3:22 mark of the second quarter. He'd only logged six snaps and was still without a target entering the final period, but he made the most of the final 15 minutes. Burton's biggest play of the night was his 37-yard touchdown grab down the left sideline with 3:33 remaining, and he added a contested 38-yard grab on the first play of Cincinnati's final possession. Burton's reception and receiving yardage tallies shared or held the lead for the Bengals on the night, and the stellar night keeps the rookie firmly in contention with Andrei Iosivas for the No. 3 receiver job.

Resumes practicing Sunday Burton (ankle) is back at practice Sunday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Burton hurt his ankle in practice Thursday and sat out Friday, but the injury appears to have been minor given his ability to get back on the field Sunday. The rookie third-round draft pick is battling for positioning on Cincinnati's wideout depth chart. Burton, Andrei Iosivas, Trenton Irvin and Charlie Jones are all candidates for the No. 3 receiver job for the 2024 campaign.

AUGUST 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Exits practice early Burton exited Thursday's practice early after having his foot examined, Jason Hoffman of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Per Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com, Burton suffered only an "ankle tweak" and his exit from practice was precautionary. Once the 2024 third-rounder returns to the field, he'll continue to compete with Andrei Iosivas, Trenton Irwin and Charlie Jones for slotting behind top WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
