Chicago Bears TE Trey Burton will fill the "U" position in head coach Matt Nagy's offense, which is a receiver/tight end hybrid role similar to Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce's. "It's an important role," Nagy said. "It's easy to create some plays for. And when you have a guy that has the size that Trey has and the speed that he has, it's about mismatches."

Fantasy Tip: Burton is intriguing for his upside and skill set, but he hasn't proven he can do it over a full season. He'll be a TE2 with some upside.

Philadelphia Eagles impending free-agent TE Trey Burton agreed to a four-year, $32 million deal with the Chicago Bears Tuesday, March 13.

Fantasy Tip: Burton was starting to come into his own this season, and he'll have room to spread his wings in a different uniform. Burton is a sneaky TE2 with some upside.

Philadelphia Eagles impending free-agent TE Trey Burton has drawn interest from the Detroit Lions, who are being considered as one of the "serious suitors" for his services.

Fantasy Tip: With Detroit likely to move on from Eric Ebron, this move would make sense, though it's hard to determine if Burton could be a breakout candidate if he joins the Lions. After all, Ebron, despite his great physical gifts, never realized his potential with Matthew Stafford under center, so the same underachieving fate may await Burton if he arrives in the Motor City.

Carolina Panthers impending free-agent TE Ed Dickson and Philadelphia Eagles impending free-agent TE Trey Burton are expected to receive interest from the Miami Dolphins during free agency.

Fantasy Tip: The Dolphins likely will be losing two tight ends this offseason, so Burton and Dickson could be starting options for them. Burton would have more fantasy value if he signs with the Dolphins and could be a low-end No. 1 fantasy tight end, while Dickson likely would be a No. 2 tight end.

Philadelphia Eagles impending free-agent TE Trey Burton is expected to receive interest from the San Francisco 49ers during free agency.

Fantasy Tip: The 49ers have George Kittle and Garrett Celek on the roster, but Burton likely would be a better option in the passing game if he joins the 49ers. Burton should receive a nice contract in free agency and could be a low-end No. 1 tight end for fantasy owners depending on his team.

Philadelphia Eagles impending free-agent TE Trey Burton had 16 NFL teams check in on his status this week. He is not expected to return to the team as they deal with salary cap considerations.

Fantasy Tip: The 26-year-old Burton had 23 receptions for 248 yards and five touchdowns in 2017 as a reserve for the Super Bowl champions but is likely to step into a starting job regardless of where he lands. For that reason, he should be viewed as a low-end TE1.

Philadelphia Eagles impending free-agent TE Trey Burton reportedly recently received a contract offer he "didn't consider serious" and is expected to sign with another team when free agency begin in March, according to a source.

Fantasy Tip: Burton may not have been much of a household name prior to his role in the "Philly Special," but he may be the league's best-kept secret at the position and will likely fetch a sizeable contract on the open market. A highly athletic former college quarterback, Burton has fantasy TE1 upside if he finds a decent landing spot in free agency.

Philadelphia Eagles TE Trey Burton posted five receptions for 71 yards on two touchdowns in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams.

Fantasy Tip: Burton stepped in for the injured Zach Ertz and it was a seamless transition. Philly likes to use their tight end in key situations and Burton did a good job being Ertz-like. He is worth a look as a low-end TE1 as a safety valve receiver for Nick Foles in Week 15 if Ertz needs to miss more time.
