We'll see if his usage increases in Week 2, but the matchup is solid.
STACKED’s take
Burden's quiet Week 1 could reverse against Flores' two-high and blitz-heavy scheme.
Burden had a quiet Week 1 as WR37 despite the Bears scoring 59 points, with a 17.2% target share, 63 receiving yards (2.42 YPRR), zero red zone targets, zero deep targets, and 27.8% first-read share (second on team). He ran 53.8% of routes from the slot. The source notes the Week 2 matchup is solid: Brian Flores deployed two-high coverage on 67.4% of defensive snaps (fifth-highest rate), and last year Burden led the team with 25% target-per-route run rate and 1.88 yards per route run (second-best) against two-high. Flores also blitzed 73.9% in Week 1; last year Burden was fourth on team with 21% target-per-route run rate against the blitz. His usage could increase in Week 2, though Minnesota allowed sixth-fewest fantasy points per target and seventh-fewest yards per target to slot receivers last year.
