Burden's 5 routes in non-3-WR sets signals role compression from Chicago's 2-TE looks.
Burden ran only 5 routes in non-3-WR sets in Week 2, a concerning drop below Kalif Raymond after being well above him in Week 1. The source attributes this partly to Chicago running the second-most 2-TE looks at 54%, which diminishes Burden's role when he's only on the field consistently in 3-WR looks. The offseason injury may also be a factor in the reduced Week 2 involvement.
