I can't imagine anyone adding the WR group from the Titans. They're simply awful for FF. Not because they are awful in real life, but because both of their QBs are simply awful.

Burkes didn't do anything w/Tannehill prior to getting injured so I just don't see him doing anything now that he's back. The TEN offense outside of Henry is simply atrocious.

I think he's a good stash for down the stretch in redraft. First few weeks he didn't get a lot of route participation, but was targeted a lot when on the field. His snaps were starting to go up to full time when he got hurt.
I wouldn't start him this week unless you're desperate, but I've got him stashed anywhere that starts 3+ WRs.

looked good last night - sky high utilization
only played 31 (of 64) snaps, 8 targets (14 last 2 games)
the preseason scouting was bit rough all around but the talent is there
the cap on the upside is fr though; Tannehill only has 3 WR TD passes all year, and 2 of them were to Westbrook-Ikhine last Sunday
TNF WR Snaps/Targets:
Westbrook-Ikhine 50 (78.1%) 2 targets
Woods 48 (75.0%) 7 targets
Burks 31 (48.4%) 8 targets
Hollister 7 (10.9%) 0 targets
64 plays 105 TE snaps - per usual, Tennessee was in 12 personnel a lot, and that's normal for that team
it's smaller pie so he'll need to be uber efficient to be solid FF starter
I do think he is complementarian to Woods, and the two chunk plays are an indication he's the more likely Titans WR to receive high ADOT, high value targets
last night was the first time since WK 1 he has had a reception over 16 yards, hopefully it's a harbinger of what's to come

No longer flying under the radar, especially with that last long catch that we all witnessed. If TEN can continue to stretch the field it only means more for Henry as well. Solid D. This is a playoff caliber team. I sensed they would beat down on GB and they did. He's available in many leagues and will be a high waiver wire target next week. Sky's the limit.

So I heard Matthew Berry say that he thinks Burks is a top 15 WR through rest of season. Does that sound right?
Banger
Footballguy
Not sure about top 15 - but I could buy in to WR2 most weeks - and a couple of splashes to get top 15
Its the time of year where some rookie or younger WR's emerge and make a run
Blick

Top15 seems a little high. It would probably take a bunch of long TDs to make it possible. I do think he’ll get enough targets to be a WR2-WR3 most weeks.
DocHolliday

Agreed.
Burks caught a long pass at the end. It was payback for the other team doing something unsportsmanlike and...idc about that stuff so I didn't pay attention....nonetheless let's take that away.
If we do, he has made progress but not had a 100 yard game yet. That's about where I'd put him. He's coming along.
He often faces a teams top corner on third down and that's a huge ask for a rookie without much threats elsewhere.
He has to run routes far better. He's not getting separation or the littlest bit.
That said he's doing an excellent job using his body, showing strong hands, and winning contested passes.
The game looks so difficult when you watch him. It's not. He's working, the effort and the fight is awesome but make a better cut, have some fun out there.
He hasn't been able to beat safety help. Hooper woke up and Chig has been lining out wide, so the Ds are not lending a safety to help out.
The more you watch him, the more you realize what a big ask he's been tasked with as the only guy.
Phillips will return next week and he's Welker like in his perfect route running. Burks clearly did drills better when Phillips was around so I assume it's a good influence learn from others type scenario.
He still needs some time, which is fine. The Titans have been patient too and ....I don't see top 15. He's just not "beat a top CB" type great yet. That he could be, that offers an exciting future for dynasty.

How tough is this matchup with the Eagles this week? Hard to trust him this week and I'm a pretty big believer. If they can get Henry rolling I gotta think Burks is overdue for a TD. And especially if the Philly offense gets rolling as well and the Titans have to throw more. But their D really is nasty. I have so many tough calls this week.

My concern this week is that Philly can be run on with Jordan Davis out. Davis might be back, but if he's out I'd expect a low volume pass offense, even for the titans.
I do hate benching him while he's hot. I'm still on the fence with him vs Pickens/Rachaad White/Deebo (in separate leagues)

Burks being down looked scary. I think he was legit knockout out cold as he didn't move for almost what seemed like 3 mins. It was an illegal hit but didn't look intentional. One of those plays you had 3 guys going for the ball and receiver gets sandwiched inbetween with the 2nd defender trying to make a play and break up a completion. Just an unfortunate play.

Can't remember any player being in protocol for 12 days. Makes you wonder if he might have had several concussions in college. Usually the more concussions in your history, the longer it takes to return to baseline.
Blick
Footballguy
It seems that a lot of players are taking two weeks to return now since the protocols changed. See Mixon as a recent example.
BladeRunner
Footballguy
I think Christian Watson and Joe Mixon this year were both in for at least 2 weeks.
I also vaguely remember a bunch of guys last year too.
GroveDiesel
Footballguy
That’s good news. Practicing is pretty far along in the protocol process. If he has no symptoms tomorrow, I think it moves to contact and then he’s cleared?
I wouldn’t trust him at all this week, but if he’s your potential #3 guy and you make it through to the finals, it would be nice to have a game to look at to see just how viable he is to play next week.
I don't think he's start in championship material.
Not liking his injury frequency as much as I loved watching his improvement BUT his year end stats aren't gonna be anything to write home about.
We're gonna have to drink in- best WR on team with meh WRs versus those stats for a rookie year- and decide where to rank him this off-season

I couldn’t do it with a backup qb.

Am I crazy for thinking he could have a big night tonight. They are going to need to throw. Dobbs is an improvement over Willis.
Banger
Footballguy
If anyone on Tenn is going to have one I’d say it would be him. With no run game and a 3rd string qb vs a good pass rush it could also be really ugly. all comes down to options and risk level
Drunken Cowboy
Footballguy
Tyler lockett is my other option
Bold call but you may be on to something. Not crazy.
