Treylon Burks (WR, TEN): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~96 Overall

CURRENT ADP: ~114

ANALYSIS: Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks was an exciting prospect in the 2022 draft class coming out of Arkansas, but his rookie season was far from outstanding. The 23-year-old had plenty of rookie struggles last season but he's an enticing WR3 or WR4 option in most 2023 fantasy football formats.

In 11 games, Burks caught 33 of his 54 targets for 444 yards and just one touchdown. He added 47 yards rushing and a fumble recovery touchdown as well. He missed four games due to a turf toe injury that he suffered in Week 4. He missed another two contests after a viscous concussion-inducing hit on a touchdown grab against the Eagles in Week 13.

He flashed at times when he was healthy, but Tennessee averaged the third-fewest passing yards per game (171.4) while passing on just 50.91% of its offensive plays (sixth-lowest). Needless to say, the Titans' offense struggled all around after the departure of A.J. Brown last offseason. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill also dealt with injuries and its offensive line regressed.

His most promising advanced metrics were his target rate of 23.8% (31st among WRs) and yards per route run (1.96), which ranked 32nd among WRs.

Both Burks and tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo were set to lead the Titans' receiving corps until Tennesssee signed DeAndre Hopkins. Now a lot of the buzz around these two young players has subsided and their ADPs have dropped. While Hopkins will suck up targets, he's also going to draw opposing teams' best defenders and double coverage. This should put Burks in some matchups he can win. It's an upgrade to their entire offense, even if it does put a dent in the overall number of targets that Burks might receive this season.

New offensive coordinator Tim Kelly will likely call pass plays more often, and this traditionally run-heavy offense could end up being more balanced this season. Bet on Burks' talent this season and he's going to put up numbers if he can stay healthy.
