Burks in line for more targets but primary value is blocking on edge runs vs. Giants.

Burks is in line for more catches given the injuries at the top of the Commanders' wideout depth chart (Diggs ruled out, McLaurin questionable). However, the source emphasizes that Burks' greater value in Week 5 should be as a blocker in the run game against the Giants. His 6-foot-2, 225-pound frame will be used on crack-back blocks in stacked alignments to collapse the Giants' defensive backs on the edges, working in combination with tight ends John Bates and Ben Sinnott to flatten defenders in space and create free lanes for Jacory Croskey-Merritt on outside-zone runs.
