In Week 2, Burden maintained his 71% route rate from Week 1, but Raymond saw his 58% route rate from Week 1 balloon to 76%. Burden did out-target him 24% to 17%, but there is a clear cap on his ceiling as long as Raymond is involved.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Burden's route share capped at 71% with Raymond at 76%; ceiling limited as WR3.

Burden's role has contracted significantly; in Week 1 he ran under 75% of routes while ceding the team lead in target share to Kalif Raymond. Week 2 continued this trend with Burden maintaining a 71% route rate while Raymond's route rate ballooned from 58% to 76%. Though Burden out-targeted Raymond 24% to 17%, there is a clear cap on his ceiling as long as Raymond is involved. The source makes Burden hard to trust as anything more than a low-end WR3 in Week 3 and worth seriously considering benching until we see an expansion in his role.
