19 catches for 219, 63 last week. getting more involved every week, good sign
young guy making some noise, 7 for 11 and a td vs philly. strong after the catch and keeps getting the ball. bears have a good young group.
Burden is becoming too important to call him a developing young receiver anymore — he should be a featured part of Chicago's passing game.
Burden is the fun button in this offense. Get the ball into his hands and he can turn a routine throw into a big gain; the expanding route tree is what could make him a complete weapon.
Strengths: Run-after-catch explosion, quickness, physicality, slot-or-outside versatility and improving football speed.
Weaknesses: He is still developing the full route tree and needs to stay available after a few rookie-year injury interruptions.
