2024 Fantasy Outlook
Burks regressed in 2023 after a 2022 rookie season that was plagued by injuries but also featured some promising moments. His production/targets cut in half from his rookie year, and injuries were again a huge problem for the 2022 first-round pick (he missed six games in both of the two seasons). The Titans don't seem to be counting on much at this point, having signed Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd this offseason after adding DeAndre Hopkins last year. New coach Brian Callahan figures to emphasize the passing game far more than the old coaching staff in Tennessee, but Burks looks to be only the fourth wide receiver and won't necessarily see a lot of targets even if injuries ahead of him lead to steady playing time. Any hope for a Year 3 breakout probably requires a big season from QB Will Levis along with Ridley and/or Hopkins missing time. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Done for season
Head coach Brian Callahan said Wednesday that Burks won't return from injured reserve this season after undergoing surgery to address ACL damage, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Burks was placed on IR back on Oct. 19, but the extent of his injury wasn't known at the time. Per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com, Burks had been dealing with what was described as a "loose ACL" issue, as opposed to a full tear, and underwent the procedure a couple of weeks ago. In his continued absence, Calvin Ridley, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Tyler Boyd will continue to lead the Tennessee wideout corps. The Titans will have to decide this spring whether to exercise Burks' fifth-year option for 2026, but the team will almost certainly decline the option after the receiver has tallied just 53 receptions for 699 yards and one touchdown on 92 targets over 27 games through his first three seasons in the league.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Drafted 18th overall in 2022, Burks was the subject of bad press throughout much of summer and ended up missing six games due to injuries, but he also showed potential when he was healthy and the Titans got him the ball. He caught 33 of 54 targets for 444 yards and a TD in Tennessee's run-heavy offense, with his 1.75 yards per route leading the team and ranking fifth among rookie wide receivers (ahead of Jahan Dotson and George Pickens, among others). It was enough to create a solid argument for a second-year breakout, though the Titans seem content to try to sludge along for another year with Ryan Tannehill at QB and the offense relying on RB Derrick Henry. They'll need to throw sometimes, of course, and saw both WR Robert Woods and TE Austin Hooper depart in the offseason, leaving Burks, summer addition DeAndre Hopkins and second-year TE Chigoziem Okonkwo as the leading receiving candidates to make a fantasy impact in Tennessee. Burks certainly looks the part at 6-2, 225, though his 4.55 40 at last year's combine was somewhat disappointing for a receiver who was so heavily reliant on big plays and YAC in college. There's still a decent breakout case after the Titans signed Hopkins, though the move took a chunk out of Burks' target share projection.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Getting Hopkins' reps for now
Burks is absorbing DeAndre Hopkins' first-team reps for the time being due to the latter's projected 4-to-6-week absence because of a knee injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The third-year wideout entered camp with plenty to prove to a new coaching staff, and Hopkins' injury stands to benefit Burks from an opportunity standpoint. Burks' ascension into what is essentially the Titans' No. 2 receiver role for the moment is naturally the product of circumstance and the fact veteran offseason addition Tyler Boyd is a much better fit as a No. 3 slot receiver, but Burks could certainly leverage the scenario to make a strong case to remain on the roster.
