Treylon Burks Rest-of-Season Outlook

Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.

Burks landed in Washington still chasing the promise of his 2022 first-round billing, and 2025 offered little, just eight games, a 5.1 percent target share, and 19 fantasy points as WR136. He caught only 10 of 22 targets for 130 yards and a score on a 27.2 percent route share, and the efficiency cratered to a minus 0.401 EPA per play with a 45.5 percent catch rate. The downfield usage is there, a 13.45 air-yards-per-target and 29.6 air yards per reception, but he simply has not stayed on the field or earned volume.

Availability is the through-line of his career, averaging eight games a year over three seasons, and his best campaign still peaked at just 3.6 points per game. Buried behind Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel in a crowded Commanders room, he profiles as a deep-bench flier at best. For 2026 he is a waiver-wire afterthought with only a thin dynasty-stash case if a depth-chart injury finally hands him snaps; in redraft, ignore him.
