Who Should I Start? Phillip Dorsett or Treylon Burks

Free agent defensive back Jamal Adams and wide receiver Phillip Dorsett signed a contract with the Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday. Adams is a three-time Pro Bowl safety and is reunited with Pete Carroll in Las Vegas. The 29-year-old reportedly is in great shape heading into camp and did have some of his better years while playing under Carroll in Seattle. Adams racked up seven tackles over five games with the Lions and Titans last season. The former New York Jet provides the Raiders more depth in the secondary but is not on the fantasy radar for IDP leagues. As for Dorsett, he hasn't caught a pass in the NFL since 2023 and will need to have a standout camp to make the roster. In his career, the 32-year-old has racked up 151 receptions for 2,001 yards and 12 touchdowns with six different teams over eight NFL seasons. Dorsett is a non-factor in fantasy, even if he does make the Raiders as a depth piece.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks (finger) will not travel with the team to Madrid on Monday night and has been ruled out for the Week 11 contest in Spain on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, according to the team. Burks' frustrating career continues, as he was in line for a bigger workload in Washington's passing attack with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) ruled out for another game this weekend. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the former first-rounder of the Tennessee Titans underwent surgery on his finger on Monday. It's not believed to be a long-term issue, but the 25-year-old will miss Week 11. The Commanders have their bye in Week 12, so it's possible Burks will be ready to play in Week 13 versus the Denver Broncos. McLaurin, Burks, and Luke McCaffrey (collarbone) will be out in Madrid, leaving Deebo Samuel Sr., Chris Moore, and rookie Jaylin Lane as the team's top pass-catchers. Robbie Chosen will also have a bigger role.
