Who Should I Start? Davante Adams or Treylon Burks

Thursday, January 8, 4:48 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is off the injury report and "good to go" for his team's Wild Card Weekend matchup against the Carolina Panthers, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Adams missed his team's final three games of the regular season after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 15. The 33-year-old was a huge part of the Rams offense this season when healthy, recording 60 receptions for 789 yards and 14 touchdowns on 114 targets. He recorded four games with multiple touchdowns this season and had more outings with a touchdown grab (nine) than without (five). Now that Adams is back, he profiles as a high-end wide receiver option in the first round of the postseason for fantasy managers in playoff leagues.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks (illness) was able to practice in full on Friday and was removed from the Week 18 injury report. Burks will play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles figure to be resting key starters on both sides of the ball with a playoff spot already locked up, but that still won't be enough to make Burks a fantasy recommendation for Week 18 lineups. Quarterback Marcus Mariota (hand, quadriceps) will miss a second straight game due to multiple injuries, leaving journeyman signal-caller Josh Johnson to run the offense in just his second start all year. In last week's Christmas Day loss to the Dallas Cowboys, Burks caught just one of two targets from Johnson for 11 yards. There should be much better receiving options for fantasy managers still competing for a title.
