From the episode

Luther Burden, as much as I like him, like he kind of is in the mold of the things Caleb doesn't want to do. And so I, I wonder if Luther Burden's actually been better with the dink and dunk guys.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Burden's dink-and-dunk role may suffer with Caleb's return; better with backup QBs.

Burden has 6.7 average depth of completion and operates in the mold of short-range targets that Caleb Williams tends to avoid. McFarlane notes Burden may have been better with backup quarterbacks (Case Keenum, Tyson Bajent) who rely on dink-and-dunk passing. Despite season-high 79% route share last week and team-leading target share, Burden's role may not improve with Caleb's return since Caleb prefers to wait for big plays rather than taking short completions.
