Will Treylon Burks Play In Week 1? Should I Start Him In Week 1 of Fantasy Football?

Treylon Burks - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Rookies, Draft Sleepers

Between having trouble breathing, lower body injuries, and a wrist injury, Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks has become a nerve-wracking player to draft in fantasy football. The former Arkansas standout is called on to replace new Philadelphia Eagles wideout A.J. Brown in the Titans' run-heavy offense.

The receiver group is shallow after Robert Woods for Ryan Tannehill, so Burks will be expected to play well early and often. After a flurry of offseason injury concerns, Burks’ Week 1 status has come into question.

In the first half of the Titans’ preseason finale against the Arizona Cardinals, Burks left the game in the first half with an apparent wrist injury. However, he quickly returned to action and caught his first NFL touchdown from Malik Willis. Barring any further negative updates on his status, we should fully expect him to suit up in Week 1 against the New York Giants.

Where Should I Draft Treylon Burks in Fantasy Football?

According to National Fantasy Championships’ ADP, Burks is coming off the board at the WR49 spot in the final week of August. That late in fantasy drafts, he’s worth the flyer as he can potentially blossom into the team’s No. 1 wide receiver.

Ultimately, it could take time for that to happen, so it might be tempting to drop him early in the year. We’ve been spoiled by Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson producing elite fantasy seasons in year one, but the majority of rookie wideouts take time to develop. Ryan Tannehill has proven capable of supporting strong fantasy wideouts in Jarvis Landry and A.J. Brown, but it’s tough to think Woods and Burks will have boom weeks at the same time.

 

Should I Start Treylon Burks in Week 1 of Fantasy Football?

The key word with Burks is going to be patience. You’ll likely draft him as your WR3 or WR4, so there’s no need to start him immediately if you have better options at the position.

Of course, we all want to start our shiny new rookies in redraft and dynasty leagues, and nobody would blame you if you do, but don’t be surprised if he gets out to a slow start. Fantasy football is about upside and playing the long game. The hope is he’ll be ready to produce like a stud when it really matters late in the season.
