Translation: get ready to learn Chinese, buddy. It’s a rough translation, for sure, but it’s hard to imagine a new coaching staff that just traded for a second big-name pass catcher in Calvin Ridley wanting to force Treylon Burks onto the field to help kickstart his career. With the aforementioned Ridley ahead of him, as well as DeAndre Hopkins and a new two-headed monster at running back, touches (and even snaps at this point) may be hard to come by for the third year wide receiver in new HC Brian Callahan’s offense. Burks’ career at this point has been plagued by injury and an overall failure to launch, and given that the brain trust that brought him into Tennessee is out the window, he could be a prime trade or cut candidate heading into the 2024 season. For the time being, fantasy managers holding out hope for Burks in the NFL can continue holding their breath, but there should be no anticipation of fantasy relevance for Burks this year as long as Ridley and Hopkins are healthy.
