STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Luther Burden's elite efficiency metrics support fourth-round ADP.

Bears WR third amongst all WRs in yards per route run (behind JSN and Puka Nakua); second-best mark by rookie ever in top five yards per target and YAC; Bears' leading receiver from week 10 on; ADP in fourth round ahead of Mike Evans, Terry McLaurin, and Jalen Waddle; Fernando Mendoza extremely excited about him despite high ADP due to upside.
