Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III is expected to miss all three preseason games with a strained groin, suffered when he got tangled with cornerback Tyrique Stevenson on the last rep of red zone one-on-ones. Chicago believes he will be ready for the Sept. 13 opener at Carolina, but head coach Ben Johnson’s wording left enough wiggle room that his availability is not a lock and will need monitoring. For DFS, that is the exact profile you want to track: a breakout candidate the field will discount on missed reps, then price cheap if he clears in time. No preseason tape means no hype tax. Watch the Week 1 practice report before you commit. (source: ESPN, CBS Sports, Chicago Sun-Times, Sports Illustrated, Yardbarker)
