From the episode

I think the injury does make it that much more scary to draft a player like Luther Burden, expecting him to immediately return as a top 24 wide receiver.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBust

Burden is overvalued given target competition and limited red-zone usage

Erickson is fading Luther Burden at his current ADP, citing a current groin injury, elite target competition from Rome Odunze, and a lack of proven fantasy production (WR48 finish last year). Burden's efficiency was high on a per-route basis, but he lacked red-zone usage and may be limited to 11-personnel sets in a Bears offense that prefers heavy tight-end formations.
