Luther Burden vs NYJ — Target Volume Surging in Chicago Offense

Burden is coming off an 11-target performance in Week 3 where he powered in his first touchdown of the season. Operating as a primary starting receiver opposite Rome Odunze, he continues to see heavily designed touches from Ben Johnson even with Caleb Williams sidelined due to a hamstring injury.

Our weekly projections expect around 4 receptions for 55 yards and 11.3 fantasy points against the Jets. Despite a modest 36% start rate across fantasy leagues, his recent spike to 18 targets over the past two weeks cements him as a high-upside flex play.

Outlook Braelon Allen

Braelon Allen at Chicago — Standalone Flex Appeal With Enormous Contingency Upside

Operating as the primary backup behind starter Breece Hall on the depth chart, Allen continues to carve out a steady rotational role in the Jets' rushing attack. With Hall currently nursing a recent thigh injury that has him listed as questionable heading into Soldier Field, Allen’s path to a much larger touch share is wide open if the starter is limited.

Even in a shared committee backfield, our projections slot Allen for roughly 11 carries and 47 rushing yards with valuable goal-line equity, anchoring around 9.8 fantasy points. Rostered in 27% of leagues and started in just 4%, Allen profiles as an intriguing deep-league flex option who instantly transforms into a priority starter if Hall cannot suit up.
