2025 Fantasy Outlook
Burton re-signed with the Broncos on a one-year deal this offseason, securing his spot as the only fullback on the team's roster. The 33-year-old played most of his snaps on special teams, however, he was occasionally used as a blocker on offense. Burton finished the 2024 campaign with seven carries for eight yards and a touchdown, adding 10 catches for 65 yards and a score through the air. The veteran fullback will likely operate in a similar role within head coach Sean Payton's system in 2025. Read Past Outlooks

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.
