WR32: Luther Burden III (vs. NYJ). That's more like it! Burden turned a season-high 11 targets into a stellar 7-61-1 receiving line and chipped in a seven-yard rush attempt. It's still nucking futs that Kalif Raymond is fantasy football's WR12 through three weeks, but Burden has at least comfortably separated himself from Rome Odunze in terms of total targets (23 vs. 13). This is thanks in large part to Burden getting more designed looks closer to the line of scrimmage (8.9-yard average route depth, 70th among 118 receivers), while Odunze is more so in the Maserati Marv sacrificial X role (11.4, 17th). Shoutout to Burden for forcing six missed tackles on receptions this season — no other WR has more than four.

Luther Burden III (WR32) separated from Odunze with season-high targets and YAC.

Ranked WR32 in Week 4 vs. New York Jets. Turned a season-high 11 targets into a stellar 7-61-1 receiving line and chipped in a seven-yard rush attempt. Has comfortably separated himself from Rome Odunze in total targets (23 vs. 13) thanks to getting more designed looks closer to the line of scrimmage (8.9-yard average route depth, 70th among 118 receivers). Forced six missed tackles on receptions this season—no other WR has more than four. Despite Jets being a top-10 defense in fewest PPR points per game allowed to WRs, source is less concerned due to Burden continuing to get fed easier underneath looks.
