Who Should I Start? Braxton Berrios or Treylon Burks

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.

The Washington Commanders have officially announced their signing of wide receiver Treylon Burks to a practice squad contract, per Commanders beat writer Ben Standig. A former first-round pick by the Tennessee Titans in 2022, Burks suffered a broken collarbone in training camp and was released by the Titans from the Injured Reserve list earlier this year. In 27 career games with Tennessee, Burks recorded 53 catches for 699 yards and one touchdown on 92 targets. He should have an opportunity for playing time in Washington given the current injuries to wide receivers Terry McLaurin (quad) and Noah Brown (groin, knee). The Commanders could also be without Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) in Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys. Burks cannot be trusted for immediate fantasy production, but he is a name to monitor in deep leagues due to the injury situation in Washington.
