Nice post. Personally I would draft one of the top RBs at 1.02 in a dynasty league. I expect Burden will go 1.01 as of today, but that could change.I started off absolutely loving this guy, and maybe I still do. The NFL stock exchange pod pointed out how atrocious his separation numbers are. That's very very very concerning. They glossed over it a little, but look at high profile bust WR over the past few years. QJ, Treylon, Harry. You can even add some guys that we want to be difference makers, but pretty clearly aren't (but are fine fantasy WR) like Drake London. None were good at getting separation. They could out muscle/out jump/out athlete dudes that will go pro in something other than sports, and then they were YAC monsters. That doesn't always translate to big and strong and fast and freak athlete and on every PED you can think of NFL defenses.
Odunze had a similar, but not the same, knock on him last year. He was the opposite. Bad at contested catches. Then he became elite at that. I'll bet you that Tet ends up on my dynasty team, but I'm well and truly freaked out about it. Love the dude. Love the highlights. Love that he stuck it out with his high school buddies at AZ. Would LOVE if he showed some separation this year.
Edit: just saw he was compared to London earlier in the thread in a linked article. Didn’t do that intentionally. I see that as a big negative, not a positive.
Burden is still my WR1, but RBs may dominate the early half of Round 1 in fantasy drafts next season. Many things can (and will) change in the course of a season, but that appears where we are headed right now.Nice post. Personally I would draft one of the top RBs at 1.02 in a dynasty league.

Never draft out of need in either DEVY or Dynasty. Trade for need.I have my 1 round devy draft next month and I have the 1.1 and 1.2 picks. He's on my list mainly because of rbs and committees.
Wow. I’m sad, no shares in my DEVY leagues.6 receptions
208 yards
3 TDs
With 2:00 to go.
IN THE FIRST HALF.
Haven’t ever watched much Arizona ball, but they are now in the big 12 so here I am watching this great player. Just got targeted in the endzone again for a near long one. Should be a fun second half.
Jeepers. Another sick toe tapping catch.Wow. I’m sad, no shares in my DEVY leagues.6 receptions

Watching him. He’s got size and speed and hands.
His 3rd touchdown was an easy little slant and he just turned on the burners and made mere mortals out of three defenders.
Great in theory, but not always in reality. Some leagues just dont trade much. I havent gotten a trade offer in about 3 years! I make more offers and trades than the rest of the league combined and it is still hard to make a trade.Never draft out of need in either DEVY or Dynasty.

True. Rule 1 is know your league. In my devy league there isn’t much trading and I because of it I lean wr. Also, maybe send more offers out. I just traded Edbuka for a 2026 first.Great in theory, but not always in reality. Some leagues just dont trade much. I havent gotten a trade offer in about 3 years!

My devy league is like this. Nearly impossible to trade for a top 15 WR. I just traded Egbuka for a 2026 devy 1st. Most rankings still have Egbuka rated high and I’m not a believer.Great in theory, but not always in reality. Some leagues just dont trade much. I havent gotten a trade offer in about 3 years!
