RotoWire NFL Articles on Luther Burden
From the article
Only trails Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Puka Nacua and Zay Flowers in yards per route run dating back to Week 1 last season. We are looking at one of the shiftiest players in the game, people: Burden's 14 missed tackles forced are three more than the next-closest WR (JSN and Puka!).
STACKED’s take
Burden's elite zone efficiency and Kmet absence create upside vs. Seahawks.
Burden is ranked WR19 and only trails Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Puka Nacua, and Zay Flowers in yards per route run dating back to Week 1 last season. He's one of the shiftiest players in the game with 14 missed tackles forced (three more than the next-closest WR). Playing time has gone up and down this season, but the loss of Cole Kmet (knee, IR) could compel the Bears to feature 11 personnel more often—they rank just 25th in this usage after seven weeks. The matchup is tough (Seattle allows the fewest PPR points per game to opposing WRs), but Seattle runs the most zone coverage in the league and Burden boasts top-12 marks at the position in both yards and targets per route run against zone this season.
