Treylon Burks Keeping Himself on the Redraft Radar

Thursday, August 13, 11:55 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks is making a better case for himself than he was a few weeks ago, even if the fantasy ceiling is still pretty low. Burks caught just 10 passes for 130 yards and one touchdown in eight games last season, but he has been one of Washington's more noticeable receivers throughout camp. Dan Quinn said Burks came in leaner and has routinely been one of the team's fastest players in practice, especially on deep and in-breaking routes. He backed that up again during Wednesday's joint practice with Miami, making a tough over-the-shoulder catch from Jayden Daniels with tight coverage. The problem is that Washington added Stefon Diggs on Aug. 7, and the first unofficial depth chart now has Burks behind him. Terry McLaurin and Luke McCaffrey are also listed as starters, with several other receivers still fighting for work. RotoBaller has Burks at WR108, which feels right for now. His camp has helped his chances of sticking in the rotation, but he is still more of a deep-league flier than someone to chase in standard redraft leagues.

Kevin Coleman Jr. Could be a Taxi-Squad Stash Option

Friday, June 19, 5:17 PM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. should get plenty of opportunities to prove himself on this rebuilding roster. The Dolphins selected Coleman in the fifth-round of this year's draft. He was the third wideout taken by the Dolphins behind Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell. Despite being taken late in the draft, Coleman could quickly climb up the depth chart, assuming he plays well. He finished with 66 receptions, 732 receiving yards, and one touchdown across 13 games with Missouri this past season. Coleman did tear his ACL in November, which could impact his availability for the beginning of the season. Once he's healthy, Coleman should get a chance to prove himself on a roster without a ton of reliable pass-catchers. Coleman is unlikely to be a consistent contributor right away, but could have value down the road in dynasty formats. He's someone to think about stashing on the taxi squad.
