Burden has elite two-high coverage numbers; talent can overcome tough Seattle matchup.

Burden is WR24 in fantasy points per game and looks electric any time he touches the ball. His route share dipped to 41.5% in Week 6 but was back up at 66.7% last week. Overall, Burden has a 19.5% target share, 2.70 YPRR, nine red zone targets, three deep targets, and 25% first-read share. This week he faces Seattle's pass defense with the seventh-highest two-high rate (60.2%), but against two-high coverage, Burden has a 25% TPRR and 3.07 YPRR—incredibly strong numbers. Seattle has allowed the fewest yards per target and fewest fantasy points per opportunity to slot receivers over their last five games. The source says Burden has a nasty matchup but also has the talent to walk away with a solid stat line despite it.
