From the episode

I'm targeting Burden. And the main reason for that is that I think Burden has more general ability at playing the wide receiver position and a lot more room for growth to be a legitimate stud in the NFL.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalSleeper

Burden is a high-upside target with elite YAC ability despite a minor injury scare.

Despite a recent groin injury, JJ Zachariason remains very high on Luther Burden, citing his elite yards-after-catch ability and potential for a 'nuclear' season. Zachariason prefers Burden over Rome Odunze for fantasy purposes due to the scheme fit and Burden's superior prospect profile.
