Rookie 1st-3rd round WRs to play 15+ snaps in the final preseason week (2021-2025) with rookie regular season receptions listed Tutu Atwell - 2021 - 0 Amari Rodgers - 2021 - 4 Danny Gray - 2022 - 1 Jermaine Burton - 2024 - 4 Luther Burden III - 2025 - ?
Ooof this is rough
These teams also played their starters for almost a half(which is also rare)
That is not the case at all. All 5 of these teams did fairly different things with their wide receivers for their third games.
Chiefs/bears played their starters is what I'm saying. So snaps in this game doesn't(in my mind) equal banishment to Siberia
Ah, sorry, read that as those teams meaning the 5 listed, not those teams as in the 2 who played tonight, got it now
I did include a follow up pretty much agreeing that every situation is different, but it's still a rough start
Every situation is different, teams have different strategies in the preseason, Burden's injury from earlier impacted where he's at on the depth chart, etc... But he does not seem like someone who is going to have much fantasy success to start the season.
Olimade Zaccheaus is also having an awesome camp and has become a trusted target for caleb. The bears love burden but i think he will struggle with playing time barring injury or if he can eat into both OZ and DJ Moore’s playing time
What if you go prior to 2021?
