2025 Fantasy Outlook
Burke was one of two cornerbacks selected by the Cardinals in the 2025 Draft - also, second-rounder Will Johnson - and while his eventual landing spot in the fifth round typically would imply he has work to do for reps right off the bat, veteran CB Sean Murphy-Bunting is out for the season due to a knee injury, and Starling Thomas tore his ACL in training camp. As a result, an impressive offseason and preseason could vault Burke into a consistent role behind Max Melton and Johnson. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year contract with the Cardinals in May of 2025.
Season-high seven tackles in win
Burke recorded seven tackles (six solo) in Monday night's win over the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
With Max Melton sustaining a second-quarter concussion, Burke was forced into extensive playing time at cornerback, and the fifth-round rookie responded with a season-high seven tackles. If Melton is unable to play Week 10 against the Seahawks, Burke would be in line to see increased playing time against Seattle's new wideout quartet of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, Cooper Kupp (hamstring) and playmaking rookie Tory Horton.
