It depends if he has learned his lesson, and if he has not lost something over the past couple of years. I would not rule him in or out.

Even if he were humble and hardworking could he still be an outside the numbers guy? He's older, didn't play for two years, had only 6 20+ yard receptions in 2008 (and 15 in 2007-which is a pretty good number, but less then the 20-25 the league leaders often get).
For comparison's sake, Branch had 9 in NE last year and Tate had 8 last year.
Burress is not 2007 Randy Moss folks. At this point if he is fit enough to play he's probably a large possession receiver.
