2024 Receiving Projections
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
Finds end zone in win
Burden totaled six receptions (on eight targets) for 117 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 27-21 win against Boston College.
ANALYSIS
Burden had his best game of the year, as he finished with more than 100 receiving yards for the first time during this campaign. The junior pass-catcher found the end zone on a 19-yard pass from quarterback Brady Cook, his second score this season. The 5-foot-11 wide receiver will face Vanderbilt at home during next week's matchup.

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.
