Should I Start Treylon Burks?

Friday, March 6, 6:26 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks is returning to the team on a one-year contract, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. The deal can pay Burks up to $4 million in 2026. It's a solid second deal for Burks, who is a former first-round pick and did not have his fifth-year option picked up. Through three years in Tennessee and one in Washington, he caught just 63 passes for 829 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He has not yet lived up to the hype attached to his draft capital, especially since he was once supposed to be the Titans' one-for-one replacement for A.J. Brown. Still, getting a deal for the 2026 season before free agency even begins is an encouraging sign that Burks still has a role in Washington's offense going forward. With that being said, though, he's not on the redraft or dynasty radar at the moment.
