2023 Fantasy Outlook
Georgia Southern was the school that would run the ball down your throat, which is how they managed to survive the move from the FCS to the Sun Belt. Then, the Sun Belt got serious about football, and Georgia Southern had to follow suit. Enter Clay Helton. Say what you will about his time at USC, but he had enough success there to believe he could succeed at the Group of Five level, and Burgess seemed to benefit greatly from Helton being hired. In 2022, Burgess had 58 catches for 717 yards and seven touchdowns, and that's with missing three games. Davis Brin, a Tulsa transfer, is his likely new quarterback, and if not, it will be JC French, who was previously on the roster at Georgia. There is reason for legitimate excitement about the possibilities for Burgress in the 2023 campaign. After showing his leg injury was fully healed in offseason practices, the sky is the limit.

Logs 117 receiving yards and TD
Burgess hauled in all six targets for 117 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 41-21 defeat against Ohio.
ANALYSIS
For only the second time this season, Burgess logged more than 100 receiving yards across an Old Dominion game. But unlike the first time, he logged a touchdown, suggesting his last 2023 performance is arguably his best. With the bowl game, Burgess was able to surpass his 2022 output, which included 58 receptions for 717 receiving yards and seven TDs.
