Fantasy Football: 4 Unexpectedly Great Week 14 Performances

Trey Burton, TE, Philadelphia Eagles

Ah, what a glorious moment in the sun for Trey Burton -- 5 catches, 71 yards, and 2 touchdowns made him Week 14's top overall fantasy tight end in standard and PPR leagues.

Burton isn't a well-known name in casual fantasy football circles. He's amassed just 91 targets in his four seasons, and it's safe to say that when Zach Ertz plays, Burton won't get much attention. In games they've both played over the past two seasons, Burton averages fewer than four targets per game. That's not enough to establish any standalone value.

However, the tight end position is a valuable one in the Eagles' offense, and Ertz is the overall standard-league TE3 this season. Keep an eye on practice reports, and if it looks like Ertz will miss another game, Burton might be worth a look even with Nick Foles under center.
