Yahoo Sports NFL on Luther Burden

Burden has all the signs of being a breakout receiver entering his sophomore season...from Week 10 on his playing time increased and he averaged nearly 64 yards per outing — which is a 1,000-yard pace over an entire 17-game schedule...The 22-year-old also posted the third-best yards per route run among all wideouts, behind only Puka Nacua and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
STACKED’s take
Burden's late-season surge and elite efficiency metrics support breakout upside despite groin injury.
Burden is a breakout candidate entering his sophomore season despite a current groin injury expected to keep him out until closer to Week 1. The second-round wideout flashed high-end potential early in his rookie campaign but was limited to less than 30% of snaps in the first two months; however, from Week 10 onward his playing time increased and he averaged nearly 64 yards per outing—a 1,000-yard pace over 17 games. Over the final eight weeks he was WR28 in fantasy points per game with notable playoff performances (4-67-0 in Week 15, 6-84-0 in Week 16, 8-138-1 in Week 17). The 22-year-old posted the third-best yards per route run among all wideouts behind only Puka Nacua and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and finished top 20 in both targets per route run and yards after the catch. With DJ Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus departed, Burden will see his involvement grow in an offense that will be even more comfortable in Ben Johnson's system in Year 2.
