I’ve heavy on Burks so far, hope they let it slide lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayTheWaivers Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 He's going to need to be a fixture in 2 WR sets with Robert Woods or this dude is going to be useless. Could be annoying given Vrabel but AJ Brown came roaring down the stretch as a rookie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyWoo Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 If this guy plays behind NWI on opening day as the above Tweet says, someone in the organization has to be fired. Either Vrabel for depth chart decision or the general manager for trading AJ Brown for a guy who cannot beat out NWI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkSwimmer Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) Burks is running with the 2s and 3s in practice, so the depth chart story is possibly more than just symbolic. Edited August 8, 2022 by SharkSwimmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that was before I learned he apparently has rather severe asthma. This trade was an F- from the time it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JE7HorseGod Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I think Vrabel was the guy that had Richard Seymour carry his helmet and shoulder pads for him when he was a rookie. I'm not loving Burks for fantasy this year because of the nature of the offense, but if you do like him I wouldn't let this discourage you too much.

Yeah, this seems like classic "make the rookie earn it" stuff. I don't think he's going to put up anything close to a Jamar Chase rookie year, but I'm getting some similar vibes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then how will Mr. Treylon Burx learn to overcome adversity and "attack" the vagaries of life? How will he learn the value of hard work, and the struggle of bettering himself? How will he learn to slay the imaginary sea-monsters that threaten to sink American aircraft carriers in the South China sea? These things MATTER bro. He should be benched until week 5, minimum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyWoo Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 If you are a believer in Burks, the price on him will probably never be lower than it is right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
affliction Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Yeah I feel he will be a bench stash for half the year. Some will drop him and grow impatient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ddam2013 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Didn’t have the greatest debut, or even a good one, but it’s not like he didn’t play well. He got open a decent bit but just didn’t have the targets come his way. Probably won’t contribute early on in the year but I’m hoping he has a couple more rough pre season games so it drives down his dynasty/keeper value as he’s going to be an elite wide receiver just maybe not this year.

affliction Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Burks is raw but I doubt Nick Westbrook is the answer as the #2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniGuy76 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) I remember a highly touted rookie coming out of college, that had a seemingly terrible camp/preseason games coming into the season..........

affliction Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 The FF community has to stop comparing every rookie receiver struggling in camp and preseason to Chase. Chase was an elite player, top 5 pick and already had chemistry with his qb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said this news about Burks can only help drop his ADP further. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
