Who Should I Start? Rashod Bateman or Treylon Burks

Sunday, January 12, 10:13 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman came into Saturday's Wild Card game as the number-one receiver with Zay Flowers (knee) inactive and got in on the scoring action to help beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. In his third career postseason game, Bateman finished with two catches for 24 yards and a touchdown on two targets. His 15-yard touchdown started off all of the scoring in the first quarter when Lamar Jackson found him going over the middle in the end zone. That was also Bateman's first postseason touchdown in his four-year career. He'll look to find the end zone again in the divisional round against either the Buffalo Bills or Houston Texans.

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) had surgery on his torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season. Burks has been a bust for the Titans since they selected him 18th overall in 2022 out of Arkansas. The 24-year-old has played in only 27 games (17 starts) in his first three seasons in the NFL and has caught 53 passes on 92 targets for 699 yards and only one touchdown. He had been on Injured Reserve since Oct. 19. Burks wasn't exactly dealing with a full tear of his ACL, so perhaps he will be in play to start the 2025 regular season on time for the Titans. In just five games played in 2024 before his injury, Burks was well off the fantasy radar and had just four receptions for 34 yards and no touchdowns on eight targets. The Titans will continue to use Calvin Ridley, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Tyler Boyd in three-wide sets.
