Burden primed for target surge with Johnson's system and Odunze sidelined.

Burden, a second-round 2024 pick, averaged 10.9 yards per target and 2.34 yards per route run (including playoffs) in his rookie year, establishing himself as one of the quickest players in the NFL and a nightmare to cover from the slot. Bears head coach Ben Johnson, who developed Amon-Ra St. Brown into a superstar in Detroit, has gushed over Burden throughout the offseason. With Chicago expected to play in high-volume shootouts due to a potentially weak defense, and Rome Odunze dealing with a foot injury, Burden could see heavy target volume in Week 1 against the Panthers.
