Who Should I Start? Treylon Burks or Jonathan Mingo

Thursday, June 19, 3:00 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) is recovering from a torn ACL he suffered during a special-teams drill last October, but the former first-round pick out of Arkansas is already running and going through drills this offseason. Burks' career has not gone to plan, as he has registered just 53 receptions for 699 yards and one touchdown in 27 career games since essentially replacing A.J. Brown in Tennessee. However, Burks is not concerned with the doubters and is self-motivated heading into 2025. "I am not going out to prove nobody wrong, I am going out to prove myself right, Burks said." While it would be a nice feel-good story if Burks breaks out, there's a chance he will be released by the Titans following training camp. The team has Calvin Ridley on the roster and added wideouts Tyler Lockett and Van Jefferson via free agency. They also drafted Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Undrafted rookie Xavier Restrepo and 2024 NFL draft pick Jha'Quan Jackson are among other WRs fighting for a roster spot.

Newly acquired Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jonathan Mingo failed to catch a pass from four targets in a 34-10 loss to Houston on Monday. Dallas gave up a fourth-round pick in a trade with Carolina at the trade deadline, but couldn't get the second-year receiver involved at all against Houston. With quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) out for the season and the Dallas running game unable to muster much of anything, it's difficult to see the situation improving at all. At this stage, Mingo doesn't need to occupy a fantasy roster spot, even in deep leagues.
