Wide ReceiverWR
Missouri Tigers
2025 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
Not playing in bowl game
Pro Draft Prep
December 12, 2024
Burden will skip Missouri's bowl game in preparation for the 2025 NFL Draft, per Alvin Reid of STLAmerican.com.
ANALYSIS
Burden previously announced his decision to declare for the NFL Draft but had not publicly made a decision about the team's upcoming bowl game. The junior receiver finished his time in Columbia with 192 receptions for 2,263 yards and 21 touchdowns in three seasons. The Tigers will have to look elsewhere for production at the receiver spot when they face Iowa in the TransPerfect Music City Bowl on December 30.

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.
