2024 Fantasy Outlook
Burton will enter his tenth year in the NFL this season, operating as the fullback for the Broncos in his second year with the team. Prior to joining Denver in 2023, the veteran also played for Detroit, Chicago, Washington, New Orleans and Kansas City. Burton will look to return to his role as a lead blocker for the Broncos' rushing attack, as the 32-year-old was minimally involved in the offensive attack while seeing just seven carries and three targets last season.

Joins 53-man roster
The Broncos signed Burton off their practice squad Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Burton has appeared in all 10 of the Broncos games this season, recording two carries for minus-one yards and five receptions for 40 yards across 275 total snaps (177 on offense and 98 on special teams). Expect the Rutgers product to serve as Denver's top fullback again in Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Burton has held a lead blocking role for four different teams over the last six seasons and will add a fifth in Kansas City for the 2021 campaign, assuming he holds on to a roster spot out of training camp. He doesn't typically present much upside as a rusher or receiver, posting a maximum of seven carries (2020) in a season and at most six targets (2015).
