STACKED’s take
Burden's elite efficiency and increased opportunity position him for major year-two leap.
Burden had a quiet rookie season with 47 catches, 652 yards, and two touchdowns, but was heavily out-snapped by DJ Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus—both of whom are gone entering 2026. When on the field, Burden was exceptional, averaging 2.7 yards per route run, which ranked third among all wide receivers with 200+ routes in 2025, behind only Puka Nacua and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Heading into the second year of Ben Johnson's offense in Chicago and the third of Caleb Williams' career, Burden is poised to take a major leap in playtime and usage. He should also benefit from positive regression in the touchdown department, as scoring just twice on 47 catches is unreasonably inefficient. The source ranks him WR27 and notes he must battle Rome Odunze and Colston Loveland for targets, but believes Burden is more likely to double his fantasy numbers from his rookie year than maintain the status quo. The source recommends targeting him in the sixth or seventh round.
