STACKED’s take
Burden's 22% target share and slot alignment fit Green Bay's zone coverage scheme.
Burden has earned meaningful involvement in Chicago's offense with a 22% target share and a 28.2% first-read share through four weeks. More than half of his alignment has come from the slot. The source notes this hasn't been an explosive breakout but represents tangible offensive involvement. Against Green Bay, which has played zone at a 73.6% rate, Burden's work on digs, quick outs and shallow crosses gives Ben Johnson ways to involve him without asking Bagent to make difficult downfield throws. The source states: 'Still, Burden's target involvement gives me something tangible to trust. I like him as a flex against Green Bay, especially over a receiver whose entire case depends on connecting on one deep ball.'
