From the episode

I like the way that sets up in this matchup against the Packers because Green Bay's defense is incredibly banged up... Green Bay has already given up over 16.5 PPR fantasy points to a wide receiver won this season three separate times. Justin Jefferson, Garrett Wilson, and Drake London all manage those numbers. And the Packers specifically have struggled to contain players in space. We know that Luther Burden excels after the catch.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Burden is a top-20 WR start in Week 5 vs. Packers' weak pass defense.

Luther Burden is a strong start in Week 5 against the Packers, who have a banged-up defense and have allowed over 16.5 PPR fantasy points to a wide receiver three times this season (Justin Jefferson, Garrett Wilson, Drake London). The Packers struggle to contain players in space, and Burden excels after the catch, setting up a favorable matchup for one of his trademark after-the-catch plays.
