Burks will be competing for a roster spot despite being a former first-round draft pick unless he takes a major leap forward in training camp. He has dropped to fourth on the depth chart after the offseason additions of Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd, with the latter having familiarity in new coach Brian Callahan's scheme. Burks may still be worth stashing at the end of the bench in Dynasty to see if he ends up in a more favorable situation by Week 1, but he is not worth rostering in redraft Fantasy leagues until he receives significant playing time.
Missing a dozen of his first 34 NFL games due to injury is one of the reasons Burks' career hasn't started with positive momentum. Another major element has been the inability to earn snaps, routes and targets, all of which might be married to the lack of durability. It was clearly discouraging, if not distressing, to see Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Chris Moore out-target Burks last season. With Calvin Ridley now in the fold and a new offensive-minded coaching regime in place, Burks will be competing for tertiary duties in this offense. The clock seems to be ticking, as Burks is now a risk-laden, late-round pick in deeper fantasy formats.
