29-Year-Old DefensemanD
Los Angeles Kings
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Burroughs is in a tough spot for the 2024-25 campaign after an offseason trade sent him from the rebuilding Sharks to the playoff-competitive Kings. He's one of four right-shot defensemen on LA's roster, but he'll need to play his role better than one of Brandt Clarke or Jordan Spence to stick in the lineup regularly. Burroughs offers a different skill set based on grit compared to the younger and more skilled Clarke and Spence, so Burroughs' playing time may be based on matchups rather than quality of play. He offers little in the way of offense after putting up a career-high eight points in 73 games last year. Read Past Outlooks

Draws in, earns assist
DLos Angeles Kings
December 4, 2024
Burroughs picked up an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
ANALYSIS
Burroughs dressed as a seventh defenseman and saw just 4:50 of ice time over six shifts. He was able to make an impact in the limited time, setting up Joel Edmundson's game-tying goal in the second period. Burroughs hadn't played since Nov. 7, and he's unlikely to have a role when the Kings use a traditional six-blueliner arrangement. The 29-year-old is up to two helpers, three shots on net, 23 hits, five blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-3 rating through nine appearances.

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.

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.
