Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Treylon Burks

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has not had the season owners expected in 2025, and it may be some time before he turns it around. When fantasy managers selected the former Alabama Crimson Tide, it was with a top 75 pick, and with the hopes that he would build off his stellar run to close out 2024. However, that hasn't been the case, as Jeudy has already been through two quarterbacks while Cleveland is scoring a paltry 15.8 points per game -- the third-lowest mark in the league. Unfortunately for the sixth-year pro, rookie QB Dillon Gabriel has had a rough go, meaning it may not be long before we see fellow first-year signal-caller Shedeur Sanders manning the helm. Cleveland's shuffling at the quarterback position has lowered both Jeudy's floor and ceiling. He's currently the PPR WR66, and not worth consideration for fantasy.

The Washington Commanders elevated wide receiver Treylon Burks from the practice squad ahead of their Week 9 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Burks was signed to Washington's practice squad in the middle of October as the team deals with multiple injuries to its wide receiver core. Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) is set to miss his fifth game of the season, and Washington's depth options have struggled to emerge in his absence. Burks will make his team debut on Sunday Night Football with the opportunity to establish himself as an option for now and in the future for the Commanders. The 2022 first-round pick has battled injuries throughout his career, but flashed promising moments in his rookie year. The 25-year-old faces a tough Seattle secondary in Week 9, but could be a name to watch in deeper leagues over the next few weeks.
