ESPN Fantasy Projection: Burks was selected by the Colts in the seventh round of April's draft. Burks is a small receiver who has experience as both a primary perimeter receiver (under 25% slot in 2023 and 2025) and a primary slot (over 80% slot in 2022 and 2024). He had productive seasons at both Purdue and Oklahoma, though his overall efficiency is fairly poor across the board. That includes an ugly 6.4 YPT and 1.37 YPRR, both of which rank near the basement of this rookie WR class. He showed very well athletically at the combine, including a 4.30 40-yard dash and class-best marks in the vertical (42.5) and bench press (26 reps). The No. 3 gig is there for the taking in Indianapolis, so consider Burks a deep sleeper.
