Chicago Bears Shake Up WR Corps in Statement Win Over Vikings
The Chicago Bears are making a big change in quarterback Caleb Williams‘ supporting cast.
While Rome Odunze led the Bears with six targets in Sunday’s 19-17 comeback win over the Minnesota Vikings, the former first-round pick wasn’t the only wide receiver making an impact and climbing up Williams’ target hierarchy.
Chicago Bears boosting rookie Luther Burden’s role
Prior to Sunday’s game, there had been significant talk about Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden taking on an expanded role in the offense, and head coach Ben Johnson appears to be more than following through.
According to FTN Fantasy, Burden appears to have supplanted Olamide Zaccheaus as the No. 3 receiver on the depth chart, behind DJ Moore, and Odunze. Against the Vikings, Burden ran 21 routes while Zaccheaus only ran seven.
By game’s end, Williams didn’t even target Zaccheaus, while Burden pulled down three of his five targets for 27 yards, including a 16-yard gain to move the chains.
The second-round pick out of Missouri has flashed some playmaking ability both in the return game, and by leveraging his high-end speed on offense and sparking some big play opportunities. Through the season’s first ten games, Burden has caught 19 passes for 249 yards and a touchdown, while averaging 13.1 yards per reception.
If Sunday’s workload and his rising piece of the target share are an indication of things to come, it wouldn’t be the least bit surprising to see his production begin to uptick, as well.
