Treylon Burks

Titans head coach Mike Vrabel told reporters Treylon Burks was unavailable during practice Tuesday.

This seems a little concerning, especially with the recent reports of Burks having asthma. Regardless, we haven't even reached training camp yet so it is still way too early to be super concerned. This will be a situation to monitor though heading into July and August.

Titans WR coach Rob Moore gave an interview this morning wherein he stated that rookie WR Treylon Burks is struggling with asthma, saying, "It's unfortunate what happened. He's got asthma. It happens."

Reports of Burks' struggles in recent workouts have been concerning, but there is hope regarding his status in the future. Sometimes, adjusting to the NFL schedule and expectations can be difficult, and having asthma doesn't help. This should have minimal impact on his fantasy status, and if there is a drop in ADP because of this, fantasy managers should grab him.

The Tennessee Titans announced Tuesday that they have signed their 2022 1st round pick, WR Treylon Burks to a rookie contract.

Burks, who was selected with the 18th overall pick in last month's draft, is a massive WR (6’2”, 225lbs) with breakaway speed, making him a difficult player for defensive backs to bring down after the catch. Burks isn’t a refined route runner and he benefited from a heavy dose of manufactured touches at Arkansas, but he has strong hands and has impressed in contested catch situations. Ironically enough, the player Burks has most often been compared to is AJ Brown, the WR he will be replacing in Tennessee. Rookie WRs have taken the league by storm the past few seasons, and Burks landing spot is one of the more favorable when compared to the other top WR prospects from the 2022 draft class. Burks will be worth taking a flyer on in the middle rounds of redraft leagues and he is currently being drafted as an early to mid 1st round pick in dynasty rookie drafts.

The Tennessee Titans have selected WR Treylon Burks with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

This pick was the centerpiece of a trade that sent star wide receiver A.J. Brown to the Eagles. Now, Tennessee turns around and uses the choice to select Burks, a wide receiver from Arkansas. He's a big-bodied pass-catcher with large hands, impressive and smooth route-running, and phenomenal athleticism. NFL.com actually compared Burks to Brown, so although he didn't post the best speed metrics at the Combine, the rookie should have a clear-cut role with Tennessee this coming season.

Draft prospect WR Treylon Burks is set to visit the Chicago Bears today and the Arizona Cardinals tomorrow.

Fantasy Impact

Teams have been busy with visits over the past few weeks, and Burks is seeing his fair share of action. The WR-needy Bears are looking for help at the position, and they may hope to get him at their first pick in the second round. The Cardinals are also exploring their options at the position. They have lacking depth at the position, and that need will be amplified with the loss of Christian Kirk.
