Mattek Fantasy Football on Luther Burden

Burden limited routes and 13-personnel snaps; Bears run-heavy identity kills upside

Burden had 7 of 29 targets but ran fewer routes than Khif Raymond and played only one snap in 13 personnel, despite the Bears playing a ton of 13 personnel. The Bears' offensive identity is about running the ball effectively, not building around Burden as expected. Burden's value depends on being hyper-efficient on limited targets and teams defending the run game differently. The speaker drafted Burden in tens to hundreds of leagues expecting a top-5 pass rate over expectation and a 100-catch season, which will not happen.
