FantasyPros Articles on Luther Burden
From the article
Well, we finally got to see the Luther Burden that was promised last week. He finished as the WR13 for the week. It looks like Ben Johnson bought all of his summer stock for Burden back.
STACKED’s take
Burden's WR13 week and team-leading red zone targets signal sustained breakout momentum.
Luther Burden delivered on his promise last week, finishing as WR13 for the week, and the source credits Ben Johnson's offensive scheme. Burden owns a 23.5% target share with 1.95 YPRR, six red zone targets (leads the team), zero deep targets, and a 32.8% first-read share (leads the team). Against the Jets' secondary this week (fifth-highest two-high rate at 65.4%), the source is not worried about small-sample inefficiency against two-high coverage, noting Burden had 1.88 YPRR against two-high last year with a 25% target-per-route run rate. Burden should have another busy game against a secondary that ranks 15th in yards per target against slot receivers.
