Treylon Burks Not Spotted at Friday's Practice

Friday, November 6, 6:41 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks (foot) was not spotted at Friday's practice, according to Tashan Reed of The Washington Post, raising concerns about his availability for Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Burks was officially listed as a nonparticipant Wednesday and Thursday after playing through the injury in Week 8, when he led Washington with 81 receiving yards on three catches, including a 53-yard gain against the Philadelphia Eagles. He played 40 of the Commanders' 60 offensive snaps in that game, establishing himself as an important outside receiver following Terry McLaurin's season-ending knee injury. Dyami Brown (calf), who was limited Thursday, was also absent from Friday's practice. Reed suggested Van Jefferson could start outside if both receivers are unavailable. Jefferson played just seven offensive snaps against Philadelphia, so a starting assignment would represent a substantial increase in playing time, although his receiving opportunities remain uncertain.

Elic Ayomanor Could See Expanded Role in Week 8

Friday, October 30, 3:10 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor could be in line for an expanded role against Cincinnati with rookie standout Carnell Tate ruled out due to a shoulder injury. Ayomanor played 89% of Tennessee's offensive snaps against Cleveland last week, a season high, and saw seven targets, catching three passes for 44 yards. Although the increased involvement is encouraging, the second-year receiver has struggled to produce consistently in an offense averaging just 168 passing yards per game. Cincinnati ranks near the middle of the league against opposing wideouts, although the Bengals have been particularly effective against outside receivers. With Tate unavailable and Calvin Ridley dealing with a hip injury, Ayomanor could see another healthy target share, especially if Tennessee is forced to throw while playing from behind, though Ward's struggles as a passer make him an extremely risky fantasy option. Ayomanor is best seen as a desperation flex play in deeper leagues.
