When the head coach is, in their own words, "buying stock in a player," we should probably pay attention. Just how productive could Burden be? We saw Rashee Rice put up WR1 numbers in a narrow, but high-volume role for Patrick Mahomes II.

STACKED’s take

Coach buying stock in Burden; Rice comp suggests WR1 upside in high-volume role.

Chicago head coach Matt Eberflus is "buying stock in" the 2025 second-round pick, placing Burden high in the game plan priorities. Placing Burden prominently will also help Ben Johnson's mission to raise Caleb Williams' completion percentage. The source draws a comparison to Rashee Rice, who put up WR1 numbers in a narrow but high-volume role for Patrick Mahomes II, suggesting Burden could have similar upside if his role expands. If the "drumbeat gets louder," Burden will move up the list of high-ceiling picks in PPR leagues.
