Well, we finally got to see the Luther Burden that was promised last week. He finished as the WR13 for the week. It looks like Ben Johnson bought all of his summer stock for Burden back. Burden has a 23.5% target share with 1.95 YPRR, six red zone targets (leads the team), zero deep targets, and a 32.8% first-read share (leads the team). This week, he faces a Jets' secondary that has the fifth-highest two-high rate in the NFL (65.4%). Against two high, Burden is second on the team with a 21% target-per-route run rate with only 0.79 YPRR. Last week, against two high, he had a 36% target per route run rate (led the team). I'm not worried about the small-sample inefficiency against two high, as he had 1.88 YPRR against two high last year with a 25% target-per-route run rate. Burden should have another busy game in Week 4 against a secondary that has ranked 15th in yards per target against slot receivers.
