Luther BurdenWR
Burden's work is concentrated in the interior slot (37.9% slot route rate, 21.3% slot target rate), overlapping with Cole Kmet's TE4 role and creating offensive redundancy; with QB Caleb Williams' passing aDOT ticking up since his rookie season, both Burden and Kmet would struggle to succeed in the same area of the field, making Burden a riskier target than Rome Odunze, whose outside work provides differentiation.
