Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks continued to do very little in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 17. Burks finished the contest with two catches on his three targets for 11 yards in a game in which rookie quarterback Will Levis (foot) was injured early and never returned. The only good news for Burks was that he played 83 percent of the offensive snaps, which was his most since the season opener. Since returning from a concussion that kept him out from Weeks 10-12, the 23-year-old former first-rounder has just eight receptions on 12 targets for 99 yards and no touchdowns. In this lackluster offense, Burks cannot be trusted in starting fantasy lineups. In 10 games total in his second NFL season, he has 16 catches for 221 yards and no TDs on 30 targets. Burks is quickly becoming a first-round bust in Tennessee.
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that quarterback Mason Rudolph will make a third straight start in Week 18 against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens, while also noting that Kenny Pickett's (ankle) health isn't in question. Rudolph looked good again in the 30-23 Week 17 win on the road in Seattle over the Seahawks on Sunday, going 18-for-24 for 274 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions. While it wasn't really all that notable from a fantasy perspective, the 28-year-old has now led the Steelers to two important wins in a row and will keep the starting gig for the regular season finale despite the fact that Pickett has recovered from ankle surgery. Pittsburgh will likely continue to lean on their ground game and defense, making Rudolph a low-end QB2 for fantasy managers in superflex leagues that will still be playing for something in Week 18.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd had just two catches for 29 yards in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. The veteran wideout had another hideous fantasy showing in Week 17. However, the rest of the Bengals offense had issues getting anything going, so Boyd can be forgiven. At any rate, with Cincinnati out of playoff contention, Boyd may not play in Week 18 versus the Browns. There's also a chance his days as a Bengal are over. But the 29-year-old had some quality seasons over the years, and depending on where he ends up moving ahead, he could reestablish himself as a viable fantasy asset.
