What It Means:

According to Rexrode, Robert Woods has emerged as the Titans' No. 1 receiver and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine "continues to make strides as a playmaker," likely leaving Burks at third on the depth chart. The first-round pick was unavailable for last week's mandatory minicamp due to poor conditioning and Rexrode notes that Burks "clearly isn’t in top shape, and it may take him some time to become a major producer." Burks' could have a tough time earning consistent opportunities in the Titans' run-first offense if he continues to miss offseason reps.

Burks is currently the WR30 in numberFire's preseason rankings. Our models project him for 107.4 targets, 68.8 receptions, 975.6 yards, and 5.12 touchdowns. Woods is projected for 110.1 targets and Westbrook-Ikhine is projected for 56.4 targets.
