From the episode

Luther Burden is right now at plus 240. I mean, 32% first read target share, leads the Bears with six red zone targets. He's kind of playing that Amon Ross-Ainth Brown role in Ben Johnson's offense.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Burden leads Bears with 6 red zone targets and 32% first-read share; value at +240.

Burden is at plus 240 and has 32% first-read target share, leading the Bears with six red zone targets; he's playing the Amon Ross-Ainth Brown role in Ben Johnson's offense. If the Bears' run game becomes less efficient and they're forced to throw more, Burden is the primary target. The Packers' secondary is dealing with injuries, and there's added motivation given the rivalry smack talk between Burden and Packers cornerback Kayshawn Nixon.
