Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Treylon Burks

Wednesday, December 10, 8:18 PM

While the Los Angeles Rams held a walkthrough on Wednesday, it was expected that veteran wide receiver Davante Adams would not have participated if it were a full-padded practice. According to Nate Atkins of The Athletic, Adams doesn't appear to be in danger of missing this weekend's game against the Detroit Lions. Adams has missed several Wednesday practice sessions this season due to hamstring soreness, but that hasn't affected his ability to play in games. In 13 games this season, he has hauled in 56 of 105 targets for 718 yards and a league-leading 14 touchdowns, paving the way to a WR6 ranking this season. The Rams face the Lions in Week 15, who have allowed the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Thursday and Friday's practice reports will be key in determining Adams' availability this week, but if healthy, fire up the star receiver as a WR1 in an easy matchup.

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.
