RotoWire NFL Articles on Luther Burden
From the article
Luther Burden (vs. NE on TNF)... I'M EMBRACING IT BECAUSE THIS YOUNG MAN IS A STUD... he pretty easily holds the leads over Odunze when it comes to yards (2.05 vs. 1.04) and targets (25% vs. 14.8%) per route run vs. man coverage this season.
STACKED’s take
Burden (WR22) is a stud with 2.05 yards per route run vs. man coverage.
Ranked WR22 vs. NE on TNF in Week 7; posted season-high 79% route rate in Week 5 and season-low 44% in Week 6, with more targets and production in the higher route-rate game. Bears' No. 1 receiver with week-to-week volatility that Davante Adams is embracing because "THIS YOUNG MAN IS A STUD." Patriots have run third-most man coverage in league this season—good news for Burden. Burden 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 ace CB Christian Gonzalez has traveled with Garrett Wilson (94% shadow rate), DK Metcalf (86%), and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (65%), but has spent only nine total snaps in slot, so tentatively expecting Gonzalez to spend more time across from Rome Odunze, with Burden spending majority of snaps from slot.
