The USC product last played in the NFL in 2020 when he tallied three receptions for 19 yards in just two games with the Eagles, but he's found some success the last two springs while recording a combined 60-684-8 line in the XFL and UFL.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2018
Burnett went undrafted out of USC but ended up making five appearances for the Jets as a rookie last season, catching 10 passes for 143 yards. While he's on the roster bubble as things currently stand, Burnett has chemistry with franchise quarterback Sam Darnold working in his favor -- the pair linked up for 1,114 yards and nine touchdowns at USC in 2017. The Jets aren't especially deep at wide receiver, so Burnett could get some opportunities to step up should the injury bug strike.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Making mark in XFL
Burnett, who recorded 15 receptions for 210 yards over three NFL seasons between 2018 and 2020, is standing out with his play for the XFL's Houston Roughnecks this spring.
ANALYSIS
Burnett is benefitting from playing under an aggressive offense coordinated by A.J. Smith, who's incorporated elements of both the Air Raid and Run and Shoot schemes to put together an extremely pass-friendly attack. Burnett's speed has been an invaluable asset, with the USC product averaging 15.2 yards per grab on his 24 catches and also recording five touchdowns through seven games. Given that he already has a track record at the NFL level and will still be only 25 when the 2023 season begins, Burnett could be line to earn a look in training camp from a team in need of a speed infusion at receiver.
