Burden's role is downright dreadful. I'm also not sure it's sustainable for Ben Johnson to keep his best player off the field for 40 percent of the passing plays. Something has to give. I'm betting on the role improving.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Burden's 40% snap rate is dreadful despite league-leading 4.01 YPRR; role should improve.

Burden's role is downright dreadful despite his world-class talent. He's a part-time player with a 60 percent route rate, 23 percent target share, 22 percent air yards share, and an aDOT of just 6.2, averaging 19.9 PPR per game. Since Williams returned, Burden leads the league in yards per route run (4.01) and total YAC (176), but the source doubts these numbers are sustainable. The source also questions whether it's sustainable for Ben Johnson to keep his best player off the field for 40 percent of the passing plays and is betting on the role improving.
