Titans' Treylon Burks: Drops to third on depth chart
Rotowire
Burks profiles as the Titans' No. 3 receiver following the signing of Calvin Ridley, according to Mike Moraitis of Titans Wire.
Assuming the Titans keep DeAndre Hopkins, there's really no room for Burks to sit any higher than third on the depth chart, even though he was a first-round pick just two years ago. The 225-pound WR missed six games in each of his first two NFL seasons while battling a variety of injuries, and he dropped from 444 yards as a rookie to 221 in his second season. From a real-life standpoint, Burks might actually be better off in a low-pressure role as the No. 3 receiver behind two established starters, but the tough competition for snaps and targets equates to a lower fantasy ceiling / lesser breakout odds all the same. The worst-case scenario would entail Burks losing the No. 3 role and sliding even further down Tennessee's depth chart.

Titans' Treylon Burks: Not targeted in season finale
Rotowire
Burks was not targeted in Sunday's 28-20 win over the Jaguars.
Burks was a popular breakout selection throughout the offseason, though he underwhelmed significantly by recording only 16 catches for 221 yards and no touchdowns across 11 games. In part, the depressed numbers were due to a concussion and a knee injury that combined to sideline him for five games. However, Burks made little impact even when he was on the field, as he topped 50 receiving yards in only two games. He'll be entering a pivotal third season and will need to find a way to stay healthy and consistently command targets in Tennessee's offense to break out, though he hasn't shown the ability to do either early in his career.

Titans' Treylon Burks: Another quiet game
Rotowire
Burks recorded two receptions on three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Texans.
Burks was on the field for 83 percent of snaps, his highest mark since Week 1. However, that didn't translate to increased involvement in the offense, and he's now failed to surpass three targets in any of his five games since returning from a head injury. Held back by injuries and poor quarterback play, Burks has failed to live up to his hype as a breakout candidate during the offseason.

Titans' Treylon Burks: Underwhelms against Seattle
Rotowire
Burks recorded two catches on three targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Seahawks.
Burks was coming off one of his better games of the season in Week 15, but he disappeared once again against Seattle. He was hurt by the Titans' run-heavy game plan, though he still finished fourth on the team in targets but failed to make any explosive plays. Injuries have held Burks in check for what was supposed to be a breakout season, but he'll look to close the campaign strong with divisional matchups against the Texans and Jaguars.

Titans' Treylon Burks: Sees uptick in snaps
Rotowire
Burks recorded one catch on three targets for one yard in Monday's 28-27 win over the Dolphins.
Burks saw his role tick up in his second game back from a concussion, as he participated in 65 percent of offensive snaps Monday. However, that didn't translate to more production, and he now has only one catch in two games since returning. Given the lack of reliable pass catchers in Tennessee's offense, it's possible that Burks can increase his production by the close of the regular season, but there's been no sign of that to this point.

Titans' Treylon Burks: Could play more this week
Rotowire
Head coach Mike Vrabel said Wednesday that he hopes to get more snaps for Burks in Monday's game against the Dolphins, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
After missing three games with a concussion, Burks returned to action for Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to Indianapolis, finishing without a target on nine snaps. Burks might take playing time away from fellow wide receivers Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Chris Moore down the stretch, though Vrabel stopped short of saying that's definitely what will happen. The 2022 first-round pick has missed 12 of a possible 29 games in his career, averaging 2.4 catches for 33.3 yards with just one touchdown in 17 appearances.

Titans' Treylon Burks: Practices fully, but listed as questionable
Rotowire
Burks (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Burks, who suffered a concussion Nov. 2 and hasn't played since, was listed as a full practice participant Thursday and Friday, but the wideout still has to gain final clearance from the NFL's protocol for head injuries in order to suit up for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET contest. If Burks is able to play Week 13, he'd profile as a hit-or-miss fantasy option, given that prior to being sidelined the 2022 first-rounder logged a modest 8-122-0 line on 18 targets through five games.
