STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Burden has talent to overcome Seattle's elite defense; strong two-high coverage numbers.

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 rebounded to 66.7% last week. Overall, Burden has a 19.5% target share, 2.70 YPRR, nine red zone targets, three deep targets, and a 25% first-read share. This week he faces Seattle's pass defense with the seventh-highest two-high rate in the NFL (60.2%). Against two-high coverage, Burden has a 25% TPRR and 3.07 YPRR—incredibly strong numbers. The source notes: 'Burden has a nasty matchup this week, but he also has the talent to walk away with a solid stat line this week despite it.' Seattle has allowed the fewest yards per target and fewest fantasy points per opportunity to slot receivers over their last five games.
