Trey Burton Has Favorable Matchup Against Bengals
4 years agoIndianapolis Colts tight end Trey Burton will look to continue his ascension in a favorable matchup against the Bengals this week. In Burton's two games since returning from injury, he has the most targets among Colts tight ends, seeing 11 targets in two games. For reference, fellow tight ends Jack Doyle and Mo Alie-Cox have seen just six total targets between the two of them over the last two games. Burton is clearly becoming the featured tight end in this offense, and the Bengals rank 21st in the league against opposing tight ends. He has seen right around half the team's snaps over the last two weeks, so this should give him the opportunity to be a decent tight end option in Week 6.
