Treylon Burks Working His Way Back into the Fantasy Conversation

Monday, August 24, 5:25 AM

Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks has had a career defined by injuries and disappointment, but a unique skill set and a solid first training camp in Washington have him well-positioned to earn a role in 2026. The arrival of four-time Pro Bowler Stefon Diggs in early August changed the landscape of the Commanders' receiver room, but Burks' blend of size and speed should allow him to earn a complementary role behind Diggs and top option Terry McLaurin. Still projected as part of a potential rotation with Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane, and 2026 third-round pick Antonio Williams, he is unlikely to suddenly reemerge as a coveted fantasy asset, but in an offense expected to gel with better overall health in its first year under new offensive coordinator David Blough, Burks has the opportunity to work his way into the flex conversation in deeper leagues. A former first-round pick of the Tennessee Titans, Burks has yet to top the 444 receiving yards of his rookie season, but he is at least back on the edge of fantasy radars as RotoBaller's WR109.

Pat Bryant News

Pat Bryant Having a "Heckuva Camp"

Monday, August 24, 1:14 PM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant is having a "heckuva camp," head coach Sean Payton told Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. Bryant appears to be in the lead for the WR3 role over Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims Jr. after starting alongside Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton in last Friday's preseason loss to the Green Bay Packers, where he failed to reel in his only target. After being selected in the third round (74th overall) last year out of Illinois, the 23-year-old caught 31 of his 49 targets for 378 yards and only one touchdown in 15 regular-season games (seven starts) in his first year in the NFL. The 6-foot-2, 204-pounder missed some time late in the 2025 season due to a concussion, and he also came out of the AFC Championship game early with a hamstring injury. He has considerable size and good hands, but with Sutton and Waddle likely dominating targets from quarterback Bo Nix, Bryant might be fighting an uphill battle for WR4/flex value in fantasy football leagues. Right now, RotoBaller has ranked him as the No. 66 fantasy WR going into his sophomore campaign. In deeper leagues, he is worth a late-round flier in a Broncos offense that could be much more explosive after the offseason acquisition of Waddle.
