From the episode
I think there's still meat left on the bone here with Luther Burden. He had... Against the Patriots, right? Again, so we know he was awesome, right? Again, four for 130. Gets the seven rush yards. Touchdown was a thing of beauty as well. He's averaging over 10 yards per target... even though the numbers are big, he's doing a lot with a little.
STACKED’s take
Positive signalBreakout
Burden's explosive efficiency despite limited snaps signals breakout potential with more playing time.
Matthew Berry is buying the Luther Burden breakout despite limited playing time. Against the Patriots, Burden had 4 receptions for 130 yards plus 7 rushing yards and a touchdown, averaging over 10 yards per target and over 7 yards after catch (51% of receiving yards from YAC). However, he's been under 80% route participation all season, with just 21% snap rate in two-WR sets and 13% target share against New England (under 10% in three of last four games). Berry's thesis: "even though the numbers are big, he's doing a lot with a little," and this performance should lead to more playing time as Ben Johnson moves him around creatively.
