From the episode

I'm a little nervous about him hitting that ceiling that we're talking about. ... I don't think he makes any type of a leap to being a top 12 or even a top 16 fantasy wide receiver. ... I'm especially concerned about the touchdown numbers for Burden because he wasn't a huge factor in the red zone last year.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Burden's red-zone usage concerns limit his breakout potential.

Dave Richard is skeptical of Luther Burden reaching a top-12 or top-16 wide receiver ceiling. While Burden should see 6.5 to 7.5 targets per game, Richard is concerned about his red-zone usage, noting that Colson Loveland and Rome Odunze are likely to command more end-zone targets.
