Burden plays the game a la Percy Harvin, and it has him limping off the field with disappointing regularity. It cost Burden surprisingly little time at Mizzou, but the gifted wideout was always playing through something. The same was true of his promising rookie year in Chicago.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Burden's injury history and contact-heavy style threaten his target share.

Burden is currently sidelined with a groin injury, a major concern given his injury-prone history. He plays with high contact like Percy Harvin, limping off the field with disappointing regularity at Mizzou and throughout his promising rookie year in Chicago. His contact-seeking playstyle lends itself to injury, and a loaded young skill corps in a balanced offense raises questions about target share even when healthy. Being off the field in August does not inspire confidence for September and beyond.
