However, it is undeniably concerning that Burden posted just a 68% route participation rate against the Panthers. With Rome Odunze dealing with a calf injury, that was actually the highest among Chicago's receivers, but it's far lower than we normally expect from starting wideouts, which is legitimately concerning.

Burden's 68% route rate is concerning; sell at draft cost before it falls further.

Burden posted just a 68% route participation rate against the Panthers in Week 1, which was actually the highest among Chicago's receivers despite Rome Odunze dealing with a calf injury. This is far lower than normally expected from starting wideouts and is legitimately concerning. The source recommends selling Burden at his draft-day cost, which he should fall from at least a little given this usage data, while cautioning not to sell low entirely as he still has massive upside.
