2023 Fantasy Outlook
With 11 career points in 95 contests, there's not a lot to get excited about with Burroughs. The one positive for 2023-24 is that he should get plenty of playing time on the Sharks' blue line, which will be navigating life without Erik Karlsson. Burroughs is hardly a natural replacement -- he's much more of a physical blueliner capable of racking up over 200 hits in a full season. Expect the 28-year-old defenseman to see bottom-four minutes unless he has an exceptional start to the campaign. Read Past Outlooks

Scores in Thursday's win

April 11, 2024
Burroughs scored a goal on four shots, doled out six hits, blocked three shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.
ANALYSIS
Burroughs snapped a 23-game point drought with the tally, which was his first career game-winner. The 28-year-old defenseman is up to eight points, 77 shots on net, 71 PIM, 221 hits and 127 blocked shots through 70 contests. The Sharks have given him a steady role for the first time in his career, but his physicality is his best contribution for fantasy purposes, as his offense remains limited.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
PP time likely to remain minimal
DSan Jose Sharks
November 20, 2023
According to Sheng Peng of SJ Hockey Now, coach David Quinn believes he was previously putting too much on Burroughs' plate, which suggests the 28-year-old blueliner's time with the man advantage will likely remain minimal going forward.
ANALYSIS
Burroughs averaged 1:31 of ice time with the man advantage per game through the first 15 contests of the season before sitting as a healthy scratch against Florida on Tuesday. He returned to the lineup against St. Louis on Thursday, and while Burroughs logged 20:46 of ice time in that contest, none of it came on the power play. Burroughs was essentially previously seeing power-play time out of necessity, but with Calen Addison now in the fold after being acquired by San Jose in a trade with Minnesota on Nov. 8 and coach Quinn recently expressing Burroughs' role needs to be reduced, he likely won't see much, if any, time with the man advantage moving forward. Either way, Burroughs has yet to pick up a point while going minus-12 through 15 games this season, so there's no reason for fantasy managers to have him on their radar.
