He averaged fewer PPR fantasy points per game than Theo Wease Jr. last season (8.6 vs. 8.5). While everyone says Burden was a superstar during the fantasy playoffs, he missed Week 16 and took advantage of an injury obliterated San Francisco 49ers defense in Week 17 where Rome Odunze didn't play, totaling eight receptions on nine targets for 138 receiving yards, a touchdowns, and 27.8 fantasy points.

Burden overvalued at ADP 41.1; playoff performance inflated by weak defenses.

Burden is overvalued as WR17 at ADP 41.1; the hype around him has gotten out of control. He averaged 8.6 PPR per game last season, fewer than Theo Wease Jr. (8.5). While he had a strong fantasy playoff performance, he missed Week 16 and benefited from an injury-depleted San Francisco defense in Week 17 (eight receptions on nine targets, 138 yards, one touchdown, 27.8 points). During Chicago's two playoff matchups, Burden scored only 12.2 fantasy points on 14 targets.
