NBC Sports Rotoworld on Luther Burden

Burden faces zone-heavy Bucs in Week 9, a favorable matchup for his coverage specialty.

Burden is a zone coverage specialist with a 3.0 YPRR differential against zone, and he gets a favorable Week 9 matchup against Tampa Bay, which uses zone at the sixth-highest rate in the league. The source explicitly states 'Burden gets a date with the Bucs, who use zone at the sixth-highest rate in the league. He's going to get away with it again.' However, Burden is noted as an admittedly limited player with a weak 1.2 YPRR against man coverage and last among Chicago's pass-catchers in that regard, which may explain why he doesn't play every snap.
