While Luther Burden III was WR48 in 2025, which technically qualifies in many leagues as a weekly fantasy option, let's drill down a little more. After Week 9, Burden was WR28.

STACKED’s take

Burden finished WR48 but WR28 after Week 9; projects as big-play option.

Burden finished as WR48 in 2025, technically qualifying as a weekly fantasy option, but after Week 9 he was WR28. Waldman counts this as a partial win on the bold prediction of significant contributions with weekly fantasy value, noting that half-season performance (WR28 from Week 9 onward) shows upside trajectory. Waldman also projects Burden as a versatile big-play option in the Bears offense alongside Rome Odunze and Colston Loveland, with potential to be a top-end receiver if Caleb Williams hits his ceiling.
