More on Burden and the WR board
He's a depth option, not a priority pick: #57 overall, #19 at his position. Draft late or stream based on matchups.
His current ADP in ESPN drafts is 91.3 (roughly round 8 in a 12-team league). We rank him #37 in 1QB Full-PPR drafts, so he is a value at that price.
We project 13.9 PPR points per game across an expected 10 games — approximately 139 points for the season. His typical game last season landed between 8.9 and 19.8 (middle 50% of results), and that puts him #64 in projected scoring (#37 on the 1QB draft board once positional value is applied).
He delivered at least 75% of his average in 57% of games, with a floor of 6.2 and a ceiling of 23.7 fantasy points. He boomed (125%+ of average) in 43% of games and busted (under half his average) in 14%.
