From the episode

I'm still on Luther Burden and, you know, if this team is going to score as many points as their head coach, who's really freaking good at his job, thinks they are. Then, you know, someone other than the running backs are going to be fantastic in the passing game.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Source confident starting Burden this week; expects Bears passing game to produce with Caleb Williams back.

The source is confident in starting Luther Burden this week, ranking him first among the Bears tight ends/receivers in play, ahead of A.J. Dunes and Colston Loveland. The confidence is based on the Falcons' weakness against outside receiver production (third most yards allowed) and the expectation that if the Bears score as many points as their head coach believes they will, someone other than running backs will be fantastic in the passing game.
