Jaylen Waddle or Luther Burden III?

Jaylen Waddle or Luther Burden III? Both are WRs. Here is what each man's 2025 season was actually built on, updated Aug 17, 2026.

Jaylen Waddle leads on share of his team's offensive snaps — the inputs that have historically carried from one season to the next.

Luther Burden III's edge sits in receiving yards per pass snap — efficiency rather than opportunity, and the file measures that as the less repeatable half.

Figures are 2025 verified play-by-play (nflverse); scored Half-PPR. Repeatability is measured from year-over-year persistence across 2016 to 2025, not projected. Muffed publishes no projections, draft grades or start/sit advice.
