6 of the last 7.
Over his last 7 games, he's produced a statline of 26-284-4 on 51 targets.
This is a pace of 63-690-9 for a full season...which honestly still wouldn't be bad for a rookie WR. That said, we're still targeting him like he's great, and he hasn't been lately.
Burrow is only completing 51.0% of his throws targeting Chase, for a paltry 5.57 per attempt. Chase is struggling, and there's no way around that.
The bust word is ridiculous right now. He was balling out in the first 7, and just hit some kind of wall. I expect him to climb out at some point, but it's taking longer than I thought. Long enough that worry is 100% valid.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
