FantasyPros Articles on Luther Burden
From the article
Ever since DJ Moore was traded to Buffalo, Burden's ADP shot up like a cannon. He's still ranked above proven veterans like Moore, Christian Watson, and Mike Evans. From Week 13 on last season, among receivers with at least 100 routes run, Burden ranked third in yards per route run, fifth in targets per route run, and fourth in first downs per route run. The efficiency is impressive, but Burden isn't going to see 80 more targets just because Moore is gone. Some of the targets will go to Rome Odunze as well.
STACKED’s take
Burden's ADP inflated by Moore trade; target share will split with Odunze.
Burden's ADP shot up to 51 (WR22) after DJ Moore's trade to Buffalo, but the source argues he's overvalued and will disappoint. While Burden ranked third in yards per route run, fifth in targets per route run, and fourth in first downs per route run among receivers with 100+ routes from Week 13 onward last season, he won't see 80 additional targets just because Moore departed; Rome Odunze will capture significant volume. Odunze ranked eighth in yards per route run, eighth in targets per route run, and fourth in first downs per route run through Week 8 before injury, suggesting the target share should be split between both receivers. The source contends Burden's ADP should be flipped with Odunze's, making him a landmine at his current draft cost.
