During that span, Burden's route share climbed to 61%, while drawing a target on 24% of routes...there's no doubt that Burden will be heavily involved as a sophomore, especially with DJ Moore now in Buffalo.

Burden poised for breakout sophomore year; Johnson's endorsement and Moore departure clear path.

Burden is a buy-low trade target despite recent groin injury return; head coach Ben Johnson heavily hyped him for expanded sophomore role following DJ Moore's trade to Buffalo.
