The Luther Burden Hype is Out of Control

DJ Moore's yards per route run have declined three straight years from 2.3 to 1.5 to 1.2, and despite the narrative of a new team and better offense, his low-end WR2 draft price already reflects the upside, making him a fade.

Equanimeous St. Brown played ahead of Luther Burden as a rookie, running more routes and receiving more playing time despite Burden's high draft pedigree.

Luther Burden is being hyped as a WR1 prospect to inherit DJ Moore's targets, but he only ran 15 routes per game as a rookie with Equanimeous St. Brown playing ahead of him, suggesting the coaches didn't prioritize getting him involved early despite the narrative.

Roma Odunze plays in the same Chicago offense as Luther Burden but can be drafted almost two rounds later, offering better value than the hyped Burden.
