From the episode

Luther Burden, who there are a little bit more alarming stats about how many snaps he's playing...when they're throwing the football, all three of them are usually running routes for like three-fourths of the time...If you just look at week one, he was second on the team with 63 yards and five catches.
Mentioned at 22:00 – 25:06

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Strong route rate and week-one production suggest Burden's slump is overblown.

Burden is a secondary buy-low target behind Loveland; while snap counts are concerning and he's competing with Kalief Raymond, his route participation is strong at around 75% of team drop-backs; the source cautions against overreacting to the Vikings game (week two), where Burden ran deeper routes and Caleb Williams ranked 33rd in depth of target; in week one, Burden had 63 yards and five catches (second on team); the source expects brighter days ahead and believes the panic is unwarranted.
