STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Burden positioned for short-range targets; Jets' weakness to shallow routes supports volume.

Luther Burden is expected to see shorter, seven-yard average depth of target looks similar to what the Bears ran last week against the Jets. The Jets allow a bottom-five average depth of target, which should facilitate more short-range targets to Burden and other slot receivers in this game environment.
