Who Should I Start? Kyle Philips or Jermaine Burton

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kyle Philips hauled in all three of his targets for a total of 18 yards during Saturday's preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers. Philips had generated plenty of buzz prior to his rookie campaign in 2022, but injuries have held him to just 13 games, 23 catches, and 259 receiving yards since then. Even after his solid showing in Week 1 of the preseason, he is buried behind players like Calvin Ridley, Tyler Boyd, DeAndre Hopkins, and Treylon Burks on the Titans' depth chart. As a result, Philips remains off the fantasy radar in all formats.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton looked good during the preseason, finding the end zone twice. As a result, expectations were high for the 2024 No. 80 overall pick heading into the regular season, even with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins in the equation. However, he hasn't done much, amassing only three catches (10 targets) for 99 yards. Burton has also been held out of a few contests, one of which was for disciplinary reasons. With that in mind, the 23-year-old may have a bright future, so keeping him stashed on dynasty rosters is recommended. Yet, his fantasy outlook for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign doesn't look promising, including in Week 11 versus the Chargers, especially with Chase, Higgins, Andrei Iosivas, Chase Brown, and Mike Gesicki all looking for Joe Burrow's attention.
