Luther Burden III...enters Week 6 as the WR26 in fantasy points per game...Burden has cleared 60+ receiving yards in three out of five contests...Caleb Williams is expected to make his return from the hamstring injury...The Falcons allow the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers
STACKED’s take
Burden poised for Williams return; Falcons' WR-friendly defense and single-high coverage support GPP upside.
Luther Burden III enters Week 6 as WR26 in fantasy points per game despite offseason hype; he has played with three quarterbacks in five games and had one WR15 finish in half-PPR scoring formats in the week he recorded his only touchdown. Regardless of quarterback, Burden has cleared 60+ receiving yards in three of five contests and averages seven targets per game, showing he is quarterback-agnostic. The Falcons allow the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers (181.1 receiving yards and 0.8 touchdowns per game) and primarily run single-high safety coverage, in which Burden sees an increased target share. Caleb Williams is expected to return from his hamstring injury, and Burden should benefit from his primary quarterback in a matchup that will facilitate scoring on both sides. The game features a 52.5 over/under. Treat Burden as a GPP contest FLEX play with upside.
