Video: Week 15 Waiver Wire Targets You NEED to Add ASAP! (Playoff Push)
Luther Burden to me is the number one guy only rostered in 15.9% of leagues... He runs a season high 69% of the routes in week 14... Luther Burton led the Bears wide receivers in target share, first read share, receiving first downs, yards per out run, yards. He had six targets, four catches, 67 yards. All four of his catches were first downs... His 9% first downs per route run mark is only behind Tedo McMillan on the year. He's the only rookie receiver with a 20% targets per run or better and a two plus yards per run or better.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Top rookie WR target with elite efficiency metrics and rising route share.

Luther Burden is the top rookie wide receiver target, rostered in only 15.9% of leagues. In Week 14, he ran a season-high 69% route share (up from 57%), led Bears receivers in target share, first-read share, and receiving first downs with 6 targets, 4 catches, 67 yards, and 8.3 yards per air yard. His 9% first-downs-per-route-run mark is second only to Teddy McMillan on the year. He is the only rookie receiver with 20%+ targets per route and 2+ yards per route, suggesting he is sprinting toward 80%+ route share as soon as this week.
