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
Posts six stops in OT loss
Burke registered six tackles (two solo) during the Cardinals' 27-24 overtime loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Burke played every single defensive snap for the first time this season and finished tied for the fifth-most tackles on the Cardinals during their overtime loss. He has started in each of the Cardinals' last three games, which has coincided with the absence of fellow rookie cornerback Will Johnson (back). Burke would likely revert to a reserve role against the Buccaneers this Sunday if Johnson was cleared to return.
