Yahoo Fantasy Football on Luther Burden

Burden's Robert Woods comp and elite RAC skills position him as Bears' dynamic Z-receiver.

Burden came on strong at the end of his rookie season and is outright deadly with the ball in his hands; Harmon believes he could be one of the four or five best run-after-catch receivers in the game by season's end. People misunderstand Burden's game, trying to paint him as a slot when he profiles as a Z-receiver who can win at all levels. His top comp in the Reception Perception Player Comparison Tool is Robert Woods' 2020 season. Harmon's prospect comp was DJ Moore, whom Burden will replace in Year 2. He fits the system better and got hard coaching from Ben Johnson. Burden has a solid feel for zone but is best expressed as a separator on routes against man coverage in the intermediate area. While Harmon is placing a big bet on Rome Odunze, he's not down on Burden; these two complement each other. The Bears offense is set to cook in 2026 and beyond.
