Luther Burden, a high second-round pick out of Missouri in the 2025 NFL Draft... Luther Burden was third in the NFL in yards per route run last year... Burden is cheaper now than he was going to be be because he missed time in in the preseason here
STACKED’s take
Year-2 WR breakout; 3rd in YPRR; slot role in Ben Johnson's record-setting offense.
Burden is positioned as a year-two breakout candidate in the Chicago offense. A high second-round pick out of Missouri in 2025, he is now cheaper than expected due to preseason injury absence. Despite limited opportunity in 2024 (competing with DJ Moore and Ola Methi Zaccheaus), Burden ranked 3rd in the NFL in yards per route run as a rookie in limited sample size, a strong efficiency metric. He will play the slot and receive manufactured looks in Ben Johnson's offense, a role that proved highly impactful for Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jarvis Landry in PPR formats. Ben Johnson, the offensive coordinator, has publicly stated he wants to set the all-time NFL record for points per game this season, signaling an aggressive offensive approach that will benefit talented receivers like Burden. The source emphasizes Burden will be on the field a lot, with Ben Johnson actively hyping him and comparing his invincible mindset to those elite slot receivers.
