That creates a golden opportunity for former first-round pick Treylon Burks to live up to his draft slot. Injuries have been the biggest roadblock for a player who hasn't exceeded 444 receiving yards in a season.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Burks' prove-it year offers breakout potential if he stays healthy and beats out competition.

Burks, a former first-round pick, has a golden opportunity to live up to his draft slot in 2026 as the Commanders have not added a veteran free-agent receiver this summer. Injuries have been his biggest roadblock; he hasn't exceeded 444 receiving yards in a season. This is a prove-it year for the 26-year-old who has flashed brilliance but never established himself as a steady threat. He'll have to stave off internal competition from Luke McCaffrey and Dyami Brown, but earning steady reps is possible if the Commanders stand pat.
