Dynasty Outlook and Profile Summary
April 3
Luther Burden III is our WR4 for rookie drafts and checks in as WR29 in our overall dynasty ranks. He has great age-adjusted production that includes work as a rusher and returner. Initially, I was concerned that Burden’s low career aDOT would be a death knell for his NFL prospects, but further research has indicated that to not be the case. The statistical comps do a great job of painting Burden’s range with similar players. While it is wide and we should consider Burden to have a lot of volatility, his draft cost is not terribly expensive. At best, Burden has a chance to be the primary receiving option for a successful passing game.

By the Numbers
Burden stepped onto campus and immediately made an impact as a true freshman. The competition present wasn’t incredible, but it did include sophomore Dom Lovett, who went on to transfer to Georgia and is a potential Day 3 pick in this class. Burden broke out in 2023, reaching 3.2 receiving yards per team pass attempt and a nearly 40% dominator rating. Even though his percentages of the team’s passing game remained relatively stable in 2024, Burden took a huge step back in terms of raw production (nearly half), and was behind sixth-year WR Theo Wease.
