Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks had his rookie season interrupted by a turf toe injury, but after a four-game absence, he could return soon.
The Arkansas product caught 146 passes for 2,399 and 11 touchdowns and added another touchdown on the ground during his three-year collegiate career. With the Titans wideouts struggling to produce, the team is surely itching to get their first-round wide receiver back on the field and involved immediately.
Is Burks ready to come off injured reserve and play in Week 10?

Is Treylon Burks Healthy or Injured?
The Tennessee Titans designated Burks (toe) to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday, opening up their 21-day window to officially activate him from IR. Burks began practicing on Wednesday and has a shot to come off IR and play in Week 10 against the Denver Broncos after battling turf toe. The first-rounder was put on IR on Oct. 8.
However, it's too early to know whether he'll actually be activated, so we'll have to wait for further injury updates.
Treylon Burks Fantasy Outlook
In his first four NFL games (two starts), he has 10 catches for 129 yards. Burks dealt with conditioning issues in training camp and was brought along slowly, but he was just starting to see a bigger role in the passing game before his injury.
Again, Tennessee is desperate for a wide receiver to step up, and with Ryan Tannehill (ankle) potentially returning in Week 10, Burks could be poised for a mid-season breakout.
There's a very good chance he'll be eased back in when he returns, but Burks has plenty of upside for fantasy managers and is worth stashing in all formats. Even though the Titans are one of the most run-heavy teams in the NFL, there's room for at least one receiver to produce with efficiency and YAC ability. Burks fits that archetype.
