Who Should I Start? Braxton Berrios or Treylon Burks

Sunday, September 21, 12:37 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios missed the first two games of the season with a hamstring injury but was able to return to practice this past week. He and Christian Kirk (hamstring) are ready to join the young Texans' receiving options behind Nico Collins, but Berrios won't make his Texans debut in Week 3, since he was listed as inactive. Rookie Jaylin Noel will continue to do work as a return specialist with Berrios inactive, while Kirk will work as the primary slot option with Collins, Xavier Hutchinson, and rookie Jayden Higgins all ahead of Berrios on the depth chart for now.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks made his 2025 season debut in the Sunday night loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9. The former first-rounder by the Tennessee Titans in 2022 out of Arkansas caught his only target for 14 yards, but he played 51% of the offensive snaps and could have a bigger role moving forward with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) expected to miss more time. The 25-year-old was a major bust in Tennessee and had a hard time staying on the field due to injuries, but perhaps a change of scenery is what he needed. Burks could see more targets this coming weekend when the Commanders take on the visiting Detroit Lions, but fantasy managers in deeper leagues should temper their expectations with veteran quarterback Marcus Mariota back in the starting role, with Jayden Daniels dealing with a dislocated left elbow.
