2023 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Drops to third on depth chart
Burks profiles as the Titans' No. 3 receiver following the signing of Calvin Ridley, according to Mike Moraitis of Titans Wire.
ANALYSIS
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Training with Hopkins
Tennessee general manager Ran Carthon revealed last week that Burks has been training with DeAndre Hopkins and other wide receivers in the offseason, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Carthon believes Burks will benefit from studying the offseason preparation of veteran wideouts like Hopkins, while Burks himself said he's looking to take care of his body to avoid injuries. Burks has struggled to stay healthy since the Titans drafted him in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, as the wide receiver has appeared in only 22 of a possible 34 games.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Scouts compared Burks to A.J. Brown before they had any idea the former might be tasked with
replacing the latter. All the better that the Titans drafted Burks with the very same pick, 18th
overall, acquired in the draft-day trade of Brown to Philadelphia. The new guy was not quite as
prolific as AJB in college (2,984 yards to 2,399) and ran the 40-yard dash a step slower (4.49
vs. 4.55), but Burks is a strong prospect in his own right, coming off a junior season with half of
Arkansas' receiving touchdowns and 40 percent of its receiving yards. And while his other
workout numbers from the combine were no better than the 40 time — 33-inch vertical, 122-inch
broad jump, 7.39 three-cone drill — Burks gets some leeway on account of his massive build (6-
2, 225). That's where the comparisons to Brown kick in, along with Burks' excellent work picking up yards after the catch. He even took 38 carries in his three seasons at Arkansas, averaging
5.8 YPC, and the Titans should find ways to get him easy touches early on. Targets are there for
the taking, even in a run-first offense, as quarterback Ryan Tannehill's other top options are
wide receiver Robert Woods (coming back from an ACL tear), tight end Austin Hooper and wide
receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.
