Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks has missed the team's past three games with a knee injury. He last played on Sept. 24 against the Browns, catching one pass for five yards.
But could the second-year wide receiver get back on the field for just his fourth game of the season when the Titans host the Falcons in Week 8?
Will Treylon Burks play in Week 8? And if so, what's his fantasy value? Read on for injury updates on the Titans wide receiver.

Is Treylon Burks Injured or Playing in Week 9?
While Treylon Burks has missed Tennessee's past three games, it sounds like the second-year wideout is fairly close to returning to the field in Week 8 against the Falcons. It would be a surprise at this point if Burks is unable to go.
The Titans were on a bye last week, but Treylon Burks was reportedly a full participant in practice last week. That would put him on track to play on Sunday against Atlanta.
Barring a setback this week during practice, fantasy managers should anticipate having Treylon Burks back for Week 8.
Treylon Burks Fantasy Football Injury Outlook
Getting Treylon Burks back doesn't mean that fantasy managers should immediately rush out and put him in their fantasy lineups, though. The second-year wide receiver is talented, but he's also in a tough situation this week.
Starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill looks unlikely to play in Week 8 because of a high ankle sprain. If he can't go, the team is reportedly considering playing both second-year QB Malik Willis and rookie QB Will Levis.
Willis really struggled with his accuracy as a rookie and Levis has never thrown an NFL pass. It's going to be really hard to trust Burks in fantasy if those two are throwing the ball. He might have WR4 appeal if Tannehill plays, but he should be left on the bench in all formats if Tannehill is out.
