Burks offers red-zone upside but durability concerns limit his path to consistent WR2 role.

Burks, a 2022 first-rounder from Tennessee, competes with Antonio Williams for the WR2 spot opposite McLaurin. The source notes 'Injuries have derailed Burks' career, limiting him to just 35 games played in the last four years. But he's shown big-play ability, albeit in spurts.' His value lies in providing 'a true "big-bodied" target on the boundary' and in '50/50 ball situations and red-zone packages' where 'Burks provides a physical presence that complements McLaurin's speed.' However, 'Durability and consistency' remain red flags, as 'Burks has flashed elite potential in spurts, but he must prove he can stay healthy across a full training camp workload and absorb Blough's playbook without hesitation.'
