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.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Burden's season average trails Wease; playoff success was inflated by weak defenses and absences.

Burden's hype is out of control at ADP 45.81 (WR21); he averaged 8.6 PPR fantasy points per game, fewer than Theo Wease Jr. (8.5). His fantasy playoff success was inflated: he missed Week 16, scored 27.8 points in Week 17 against an injury-depleted 49ers defense when Rome Odunze didn't play (8 rec, 9 targets, 138 yards, 1 TD), and averaged 12.2 fantasy points on 14 targets across Chicago's two playoff games.
