Luther BurdenWR

Burden's slot target rate (21.3%) and route rate (37.9%) indicate heavy interior work that overlaps with Cole Kmet's TE4 role; with QB Caleb Williams' passing aDOT ticking up since his rookie season, it becomes harder for both Burden and Kmet to succeed in the same area of the field, making Burden a riskier value than Rome Odunze, who is being drafted later but has better positional separation.
