The short term fantasy prospects could be decent, West Coast are clearly on a youth path which could provide Burgiel with opportunities in 2023. He has the ability to slot into multiple roles.

His long term prospects could vary, a small forward role would provide low and inconsistent scores while a move up the ground will provide a better fantasy scoring rate.

Season long fantasy: Burgiel is an option when he makes his debut, he’s clearly a watch for a specific role early. Keep an open mind if he breaks through for a debut because any type of role away from the forward line could provide a decent scoring output.

Single season draft leagues: He’s likely a pass in single season draft leagues.

DFS: He’ll be a consideration if he is allocated a role away from the forward line especially at a low entry level salary.
