Who Should I Start? Cedrick Wilson Jr. or Treylon Burks

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. played more snaps than Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for the first time this season in Week 11 before the team's bye week. He served as the team's third receiver behind Jaylen Waddle and Malik Washington, but he didn't get any targets. He has just two catches for nine yards on the season, but he has been playing more snaps lately, even though his utilization has still been very light. Since the Dolphins don't air it out very much, he doesn't bring much upside, but it is worth noting that he seems to be moving up the depth chart. Wilson is only the WR127 in RotoBaller's Week 13 rankings, so he can be left on the waiver wire for now, but keep an eye on Wilson's usage in the coming weeks, since he could be moving onto the radar for deep league waivers if he keeps getting more snaps.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks hauled in one of the highlight catches of the season during Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. Burks finished with one catch for five yards and a touchdown, attracting some fantasy football interest after making such a sensational play. The former 2022 first-round pick missed Washington's Week 11 game against the Miami Dolphins due to a finger injury, but he has carved out a role with the team. He has five catches for 77 yards and a touchdown on eight targets while playing 54.1% of the snaps in three games. Washington's offense is getting healthier by the week, with Terry McLaurin returning last week against Denver, and now quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) and receiver Noah Brown (groin) are both set to return in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings. It will be interesting to see what role Burks plays with Brown back in the fold. While Burks has intriguing upside in deeper leagues, he can safely be left on the waiver wire in most re-draft leagues for Week 14.
