From the episode

Burden, to me, has a legit shot to become a stud. But I also think his floor is kind of underrated given the offensive environment that he's in.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Burden is a high-upside breakout candidate with an elite production profile.

Despite a groin injury in camp, Burden is a high-upside target who fits Ben Johnson's scheme perfectly. He had an elite ZAP score as a prospect and ranked 2nd in yards per route run and 5th in PPR points per route run from Week 11-17 last season. His after-the-catch ability is elite, with 98th percentile avoided tackles forced per reception in college.
