Should You Start or Sit Luther Burden III in Week 4?
Luther Burden III had two yards in three targets through two career games, but a meeting with the Cowboys has a way of unlocking things, especially when you have a playcaller like Ben Johnson looking to expose it.
The rookie paid off a goofy flea flicker that looked like D’Andre Swift was pitching a beach ball back to Caleb Williams. The optics really don’t matter: it was a 13.5-point play for Burden on your bench.
It was good to see a gadgety receiver make good on a gadget play, but let’s not do anything that we are going to regret.
Week 3 Snap/Route Counts
- DJ Moore: 51 / 26
- Rome Odunze: 51 / 26
- Olamide Zaccheaus: 32 / 17
- Burden: 17 / 9
Burden remains a pretty clear WR4 in an offense that also has two tight ends and still some inconsistencies under center. The big play was great to see and maybe this is the start of something, but I’m not betting on it.
Burden doesn’t yet need to be rostered in average-sized leagues.
