Who Should I Start? Jermaine Burton or Malachi Corley

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton (knee) exited Saturday's loss to the Colts. He did not return. The wideout injured his knee during the Bengals' preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles and didn't play in the Monday Night Football clash with the Washington Commanders. Burton managed to suit up for the preseason finale, although he caught only one of his four targets for 16 yards before his premature departure. Head coach Zac Taylor couldn't provide an update while speaking after the game, so fantasy managers should consider him as day-to-day. However, Burton's fantasy outlook doesn't look promising even if he gets a positive update about his knee, especially since he's expected to be at least the No. 4 receiver on the depth chart behind Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Andrei Iosivas. If anything, he'll get most of his work on special teams.

Wide receiver Malachi Corley is signing with the Cleveland Browns, according to a report from Adam Schefter. The second-year pro appeared in nine games for the New York Jets as a rookie, mostly as a special teams player, but failed to make the club this year. Corley will join the Browns' practice squad to begin the season, but could work his way onto the active roster at some point this season due the club's lack of depth at the position.
