My concern is that we haven't seen enough to draft him as a WR2 in 2026... you're paying a premium for a boom-or-bust receiver... Burden's numbers came back down to earth when Odunze returned for the playoffs. He combined for six catches and 66 yards across the two playoff games.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Burden's late-season spike came with Odunze out; expect regression at WR2 ADP.

Despite elite late-season upside (3.64 yards per route run, 27.3% first-read share, 81 receiving yards per game from Week 14 on), Burden is a boom-or-bust WR2 candidate at ADP 49 whose production was inflated by Rome Odunze's foot injury absence; when Odunze returned for the playoffs, Burden combined for just six catches and 66 yards across two games. The source cautions that Burden's current ADP already prices in DJ Moore's departure to Buffalo, making him overvalued relative to his actual role clarity and consistency.
