Burden's groin injury cooled ADP steam; elite YAC and route-run efficiency justify 5th-round target.

Luther Burden produced 2.67 yards per route run (3rd among WRs with 200+ routes) and 7.4 average YAC (3rd) last year, with a 78.3 percent catch rate and 24.1% target-route-run rate (18th). At ADP 56.20 (mid-5th round), his groin injury from Aug. 8 has cooled his draft steam, but he has five weeks to recover before Chicago's Sept. 13 season opener. His combination of size (210 pounds), speed (4.40 40), and YAC skills position him to draw targets at an even higher rate than last year's 10.9 YPT, making the risky profile worth chasing at a discounted price.
