RotoWire NFL Articles on Luther Burden

Burden is a stud with elite man-coverage metrics; slot alignment favors him vs. Patriots.

Ranked WR22 vs. NE on TNF; posted season-high 79% route rate in Week 5 and season-low 44% in Week 6, with more targets and production in higher route-share game; embracing week-to-week volatility because this young man is a stud; holds clear leads over Odunze in yards (2.05 vs. 1.04) and targets (25% vs. 14.8%) per route run vs. man coverage this season; Patriots run third-most man coverage in league; Patriots ace CB Christian Gonzalez has traveled with Garrett Wilson (94%), DK Metcalf (86%), and JSN (65%) but only spent nine snaps in slot, so tentatively expecting Gonzalez to spend more time across from Rome Odunze since Burden has spent majority of snaps from slot.
