Philadelphia Eagles DB Grayland Arnold and WR Deontay Burnett on Saturday, Oct. 3, were promoted to the active roster from the practice squad.

Eagles | Three WRs unlikely to make roster Thu May 28, 04:11 PM
Philadelphia Eagles WRs Deontay Burnett, Robert Davis and Shelton Gibson likely will have an uphill battle to make the final roster, in the opinion of The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane.
| Footballguys view: All of these players are guys we are monitoring but only in crazy deep dynasty formats. Burnett is a small, slot receiver but he was one of Sam Darnold's favorite targets back in college at USC. Davis was a sixth-round pick out of Georgia State in 2017 but injuries have plagued him as a pro. He's got a fine size/speed combination if healthy. The Eagles picked up Gibson in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL draft out of West Virginia. He only has three catches for 59 yards in his pro career. We'll see if any of these players can land somewhere else if they don't make the Eagles. |

Eagles | Philly adds two to roster Tue Dec 24, 02:11 PM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Deontay Burnett was elevated from the practice squad Tuesday, Dec. 24. Free-agent TE Richard Rodgers (Eagles) also signed an undisclosed contract with the Eagles.
| Footballguys view: Burnett was undrafted out of USC in 2018 and has bounced around to four different teams during his brief time in the NFL. The Eagles are really banged up at the wide receiver position, and that's why he's getting elevated. Burnett is a slot receiver who lacks size to beat physical coverage. He also doesn't have elite speed to take the top off the defense. A favorite target of Sam Darnold in college, we'll monitor Burnett but only in crazy deep dynasty formats. |

Eagles | Alshon Jeffery to IR Thu Dec 12, 10:15 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Alshon Jeffery (foot) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Thursday, Dec. 12. WR Robert Davis was promoted from the practice squad and free-agent WR Deontay Burnett (49ers) was signed to the practice squad.
| Footballguys view: Now it's officially official. Jeffery finishes the 2019 season with 43 catches for 490 yards and four touchdowns. He's on the books over the next two season for the Eagles. Per Spotrac.com, Jeffery has a cap hit of $15.6 million in 2020 with $26.1 million in dead money. |

Jets | Two receivers to have bigger roles Fri Dec 28, 08:02 PM
New York Jets WRs Andre Roberts and Deontay Burnett likely will serve as the No. 2 and No. 3 receivers for the Jets in Week 17 because of the injuries to WR Quincy Enunwa (ankle) and WR Jermaine Kearse (Achilles').
| Footballguys view: Roberts has speed to burn, as evidenced by his plays as a return man during his pro career. He's got 7 catches for 51 yards and one receiving touchdown in 2018. Roberts does have a few 100-yard receiving games during his NFL career, but the last one came in Week 7 of the 2012 season. Burnett, an undrafted free agent out of USC in 2018, began his career with the Titans but was released at final cutdowns before the start of the regular season when the Jets picked him up as a practice squad player. He's appeared in four games so far this season, catching five passes for 70 yards. Burnett is a slot receiver we'll continue monitoring but only in super deep dynasty formats. |

Updating a previous report, New York Jets WR Terrelle Pryor (groin) was officially released Saturday, Oct. 20 and the team signed WR Deontay Burnett to take his spot on the 53-man roster.
| Footballguys view: The Jets think he'll be out a couple of weeks with a groin injury and they hope to sign him back at that time. Pryor had been playing better over the last two weeks with six catches for 77 yards and two touchdowns during that time. He could draw interest from other teams before the Jets have a chance to sign him back. |

Titans | Deontay Burnett popping in practice Fri Jun 22, 10:47 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Deontay Burnett has 'flashed' during spring practices, according to Jim Wyatt of TitansOnline.com.
| Footballguys view: Keep an eye on the undrafted USC rookie wide receiver in training camp and the preseason. Burnett is a slippery receiver who does a good job of picking up yards after the catch. He'll 'stab and stash' quickly when a pass is coming in, and Burnett is working for a spot on the Titans depth chart behind starters Rishard Matthews and Corey Davis. |

Titans | Deontay Burnett headed to Tennessee Sat Apr 28, 09:22 PM
Southern California WR Deontay Burnett has reportedly agreed to terms with the Tennessee Titans.
| Footballguys view: Burnett is a small slot receiver with some route-running prowess and quickness like former Titans Harry Douglas. He'll have to beat out Michael Campanaro (or have Campanaro suffer another in a long line of injuries) to have a chance to make the final roster. |

NFL | Deontay Burnett meets with two teams Sat Apr 7, 03:57 PM
Southern California WR Deontay Burnett said he met with the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons before his Pro Day.
| Footballguys view: Burnett is an interesting slot receiver who should be a fourth- or fifth-round pick in the draft. He's quick, shifty and able to run clean routes. Burnett can pluck and tuck quickly while turning his attention to running after the catch. While he's not the biggest wideout (6'0" 186 pounds), Burnett should at least be a solid possession receiver at the pro level. |
