Burden figures to be the biggest beneficiary of DJ Moore's departure, sliding into a full-time starter role. As a rookie in 2025, he played 15 games with 5 starts and caught 47 passes for 652 yards. The source agrees with Kay Adams consensus that he's a breakout candidate, citing his distinctive movement on the field and projecting at least 80 touches this season. QB Caleb Williams endorsed him: "He makes the first guy miss every time. That's his trait. He catches everything. Easy passes. Hard passes. He's a friendly receiver; is what we call it as a QB. His route running and things like that, he's super friendly. And when you get the ball in his hands, he makes that first player miss quite often."

Luther Burden III figures to be the biggest beneficiary of Moore not being in Chicago, as he'll slide into a full-time starter role now. Last year, as a rookie, Burden played in 15 games with 5 starts, and he caught 47 passes for 652 yards. He's been mentioned as a breakout player by several analysts this offseason, which I agree with. There's just something different about the way Burden moves on a football field, and I expect him to get at least 80 touches this season.
