Who Should I Start? Jermaine Burton or Wan'Dale Robinson

When asked if Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Jermaine Burton would warrant more snaps if Tee Higgins (hamstring) remains out in Week 2 against the Kansas City Chiefs, head coach Zac Taylor said, "I think Jermaine is making progress." Higgins hurt his hamstring last Thursday in practice and didn't play in the Week 1 loss to the New England Patriots. It wasn't a good sign that the 23-year-old Burton played just 8% of the offensive snaps behind Ja'Marr Chase, Andrei Iosivas, Trenton Irwin and Charlie Jones. Burton was selected in the third round of the NFL draft back in April but reportedly struggled with his professionalism during offseason workouts and in training camp. The talent is there, but it sounds like Burton needs to mature behind the scenes before he can expect to have any kind of significant role in the Bengals offense. He's merely a dynasty/keeper stash for now.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson turned in a solid performance in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, making six receptions for 44 yards. While Robinson didn't find the end zone, he was busy all game as he easily lead all receivers in targets with 12. Robinson also chipped in a 14-yard rush, showcasing his versatility and role as a gadget player in the Giants' offense. Despite his modest stat line, Robinson may turn into a PPR flex option heading into Week 2, especially with the Giants potentially leaning on him more.
