Luther Burden, III: 85–95 receptions, 1,100–1,250 yards, 8–10 touchdowns. Burden showed elite per-route efficiency as a rookie (top-tier yards per route run and YAC). Maintaining even most of that efficiency on an expanded target load, say 110–130+ targets, produces a legitimate 1,100+ yard and a potential double-digit score season.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Burden's elite rookie efficiency supports 1,100+ yard projection on expanded targets.

The source projects Luther Burden III for 85–95 receptions, 1,100–1,250 yards, and 8–10 touchdowns in 2026 with expanded role following DJ Moore's departure. Burden showed elite per-route efficiency as a rookie (top-tier yards per route run and YAC); maintaining even most of that efficiency on an expanded target load of 110–130+ targets produces a legitimate 1,100+ yard and potential double-digit score season given his big-play ability after the catch.
