Rostered: 44.6%
Week 18 will be critical for the Titans. With a win over the Jaguars, they will clinch the AFC South. With a loss, they would be eliminated from playoff contention.
First-round pick Treylon Burks is listed as questionable with a groin injury. He did not participate in Thursday’s practice, but head coach Mike Vrable remarked that he “should be okay”.
If Burks is not active, Woods will have tremendous upside as the top wide receiver on the depth chart.

As I previously discussed, Burks’s status for Saturday’s game is up in the air, but if he is active, he has great value in fantasy football leagues. From Week 11 to Week 13, he enjoyed a three-game run of averaging 14.9 fantasy points. Unfortunately, he suffered a concussion and missed time. Last week, he returned to form and had four receptions for 66 yards on eight targets.
Burks’s status should be monitored leading up to kickoff.
