2024 Fantasy Outlook
Burden has looked every bit the part of a five-star recruit since stepping on campus in 2022. He showed flashes as a true freshman and delivered on his potential as a sophomore with 86 grabs for 1,212 yards and nine touchdowns on 122 targets. His YPT average skyrocketed from 5.3 as an overexposed freshman to 9.9 in 2023. With quarterback Brady Cook returning and offensive coordinator Kirby Moore still in place, everything is set up for Burden to turn in another elite season. Missouri's offense is ascending and Burden will be the rocket fuel for it once again. Read Past Outlooks
Scores crucial touchdown in win
Burden caught 6 of 10 targets for 76 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 30-27 overtime victory over Vanderbilt.
ANALYSIS
Burden scored twice during this contest but the second trip to the end zone came during a crucial moment in the fourth quarter, connecting on a 25-yard strike from quarterback Brady Cook, which would tie the score, ultimately winning by a field goal. The junior wide receiver is expected to be a top draft pick next year and has definitely helped his stock after posting 12 receptions for 193 yards and three touchdowns across his last two outings. Next, he will face Texas A&M on the road.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
It’s not often that Missouri beats out the likes of Georgia and Alabama for a five-star prospect, but that’s what happened with Burden in this recruiting cycle. The offense has a healthy passing volume projection baked in (35 attempts/game) but few players with a claim to those targets. Keke Chism is gone and the leading receiver in 2021, Tauskie Dove, also had zero touchdowns. Burden may be the best player on the team already and anything less than a featured role would be surprising for him this year. Don’t let Missouri’s otherwise dour projection scare you off Burden.
