Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Treylon Burks

Saturday, November 8, 3:00 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams has five touchdowns over his last two games, and he'll look to build on his scoring tendencies during Sunday's Week 10 clash with the division-rival San Francisco 49ers. Adams already has eight trips to the end zone this year, tying his season totals from 2023 and 2024. He's averaging one score per game; extrapolated over a 17-game season, that would represent the second-best total of his career. We'll see if he can continue to score at this absurd rate, but even if he tails off slightly, he'll still be a solid fantasy WR1 every week. He has shown that he is matchup-proof and can co-exist alongside Puka Nacua, which is great news for Adams and his fantasy managers. He should be started in all leagues as he takes on a 49ers defense that has surrendered the sixth-most receptions and eighth-most receiving yards to opposing wide receivers in 2025.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks made his team debut in Week 9's blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks, catching his lone target for 14 yards. The former first-rounder in 2022 signed to Washington's practice squad in mid-October and was forced into more playing time than expected in his first game after fellow wideout Luke McCaffrey injured his shoulder on the opening kickoff. Burks played 50.8% of Washington's offensive snaps last week and will likely see an expanded role in Week 10 against Detroit. The 25-year-old is a talented player with good size, speed, and YAC ability, but has battled multiple injuries so far in his young career. There is plenty of opportunity for him to emerge in Washington with a lack of established pass catchers. Burks has some appeal in deep formats in a favorable Week 10 matchup against a Lions defense that has allowed the sixth most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers.
