From the episode
I'm in on burden this year...if you look at rookie season point per game marks, it's very rare for a player to really break out after such a low PPR point per game mark as Burden had. But my counter to that is, well, 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, who drafted him, right, is saying that he's buying Luther Burden stock.
STACKED’s take
Zachariason bullish on Burden's breakout potential despite low rookie PPG; cites per-route efficiency and Ben Johnson's
JJ Zachariason is bullish on Luther Burden as a potential breakout candidate despite his low rookie PPG, citing his exceptional per-route-run efficiency and the fact that head coach Ben Johnson is actively buying his stock. Zachariason notes that while it's rare for players with such low rookie PPG to break out, it's equally rare to find one with Burden's per-route efficiency profile. He compares Burden's likely role to the Amon-Ra St. Brown role in Ben Johnson's scheme—an easier, lower-air-dot, inside-out role that Johnson successfully deployed in Detroit. Zachariason is at approximately 23-25% allocation on Burden, well above the market's 8% mark, and recommends being overweight on him versus market consensus.
