the Panthers defense, led by Jaycee Horn, were the ninth-toughest opponent for fantasy receivers last year, while Brian Flores' Vikings defense was first and the Eagles were sixth

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Burden faces Vikings (1st), Eagles (6th), Panthers (9th) WR defenses in first three weeks.

Burden faces a difficult early-season schedule with the Panthers (ninth-toughest opponent for fantasy receivers in 2025), Vikings (first), and Eagles (sixth) in the first three weeks. The Bears are another receiving corps the source is happily investing in this year, but the degree of difficulty will be high in the early goings of the 2026 season. The Week 4 game against the Jets can't come soon enough for fantasy managers hoping to capitalize with Ben Johnson's young offense. Despite the early schedule challenges, the source pushes all schedule concerns aside and drafts the Bears' receivers at will due to their potential.
