Player Outlook
Burks, a seventh-round pick by the Colts in the 2026 NFL Draft, will battle Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for the WR3 job in Indianapolis this year. Burks ran a blazing fast 4.30 40-yard dash at the NFL combine and was second at Oklahoma last year in receptions (57), receiving yards (520), and receiving touchdowns (4). He is undersized and will most likely be limited to a slot role if he is able to get on the field regularly in the NFL. Players like Burks have been hurt by the league's fascination with two- and three-tight end sets, and Shane Steichen was an early adopter of the heavy personnel. You can leave Burks on the waiver wire in redraft leagues and not draft him before Round 4 in a rookie draft.

  • Colts' Deion Burks: Picked by Colts

    The Colts selected Burks in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 254th overall. No one would have thought anything of it if the Colts had taken Burks in the fourth round rather than the seventh, so this can only be seen as an ideal end-of-draft selection. Burks' lack of production at Purdue and Oklahoma generally indicates a limitation in his wide receiver skill set, but if the weak parts of his game ever improve, he has the athleticism to become quite useful. Small as he is at 5-foot-10, 180 pounds, Burks' athleticism is loud -- his 4.30-second 40-yard dash, 42.5-inch vertical jump and 131-inch broad jump are all well above the 90th percentile for wide receivers.
