Toney exemplifies the risk of elite rookie yards-per-route-run efficiency failing to translate to sustained production; despite exceptional efficiency metrics, he was a gadget player with limited route volume and finished as WR19 the following season, serving as a cautionary comp for similarly limited-usage prospects like Luther Burden.

Ladarius Toney was awesome as a rookie but was getting mugged by 34-year-old Keenan Allen and Rondale Moore last season; Keenan Allen is 50/50 to be a Charger this upcoming season, and Rondale Moore is expected to be a big part of the offense with David Njoku brought in for 12 personnel. The source does not consider Toney a particular target in fantasy football right now.

Toney is cited as a popular cautionary comparison for Luther Burden; both are gadget players who accumulate targets via screens and designed touches. However, the source argues Burden has proven downfield capability (2.35 YPRR without screens, 11.8 ADoT) that differentiates him from Toney's profile, and screens are inherently valuable in Ben Johnson's offense.
