Who Should I Start? David Sills V or Treylon Burks

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver David Sills V hauled in two of his four targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets. It was the second consecutive week in which the 29-year-old secured a touchdown pass from quarterback Kirk Cousins. Surely fantasy managers who were desperate enough to deploy Sills were happy with the results, but there may not be much room for this hot stretch to run with such low volume being directed at the veteran and with the potential for Drake London (knee) to return in Week 14 against the Seahawks. Interested managers may consider picking up the 6-foot-3 wideout off the waiver wire, then monitor practice reports for the rest of the week, and if London returns, cut bait with Sills. Seattle has been tough against the pass this season, but it's at least a home matchup in Atlanta on Sunday.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks had a spectacular grab in Week 13 on Monday Night Football against the Denver Broncos, where he "Mossed" the defensive cornerback and delivered a highlight reel that now puts him on the radar for fantasy football. Although the catch was spectacular, Burks still has quite a bit to prove: he hauled in only one of his four receptions in that game, played only 66 percent of the snaps, and has yet to have a game with more than 58 receiving yards. Additionally, the Commanders are getting healthy at the wide receiver position, as Terry McLaurin played in Week 14 and looked really good, earning 14 targets and catching seven of them for 96 yards and a touchdown. The former first-round pick in 2022 (Burks) should continue to see his opportunities increase as he settles into the offense, but from a fantasy perspective, he should remain on the waiver wire in re-draft formats.
