I think there's a chance that he has that like Zay flowers effect... I'm in on burden this year... it's also rare to find a player who had that low of a point per game mark and such great per route run efficiency... the head coach of the team who handpicked him... is saying that he's buying Luther Burden stock... And that's the role that Luther Burden is more than likely going to play in this offense.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Zachariason backs Burden's breakout potential despite low rookie PPG due to route efficiency.

JJ Zachariason is bullish on Burden despite low rookie PPG, citing rare combination of low PPG and strong per-route-run efficiency; head coach Ben Johnson is buying Burden stock, and the role he'll play mirrors the Amon-Ra St. Brown scheme role Johnson used in Detroit; Zachariason is at 23% allocation and recommends being overweight on Burden versus the 8% market baseline, though acknowledges the contrarian nature of the call.
