Who Should I Start? Treylon Burks or Bub Means

Friday, December 5, 9:56 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks had a spectacular grab in Week 13 on Monday Night Football against the Denver Broncos, where he "Mossed" the defensive cornerback and delivered a highlight reel that now puts him on the radar for fantasy football. Although the catch was spectacular, Burks still has quite a bit to prove: he hauled in only one of his four receptions in that game, played only 66 percent of the snaps, and has yet to have a game with more than 58 receiving yards. Additionally, the Commanders are getting healthy at the wide receiver position, as Terry McLaurin played in Week 14 and looked really good, earning 14 targets and catching seven of them for 96 yards and a touchdown. The former first-round pick in 2022 (Burks) should continue to see his opportunities increase as he settles into the offense, but from a fantasy perspective, he should remain on the waiver wire in re-draft formats.

The New Orleans Saints placed wide receiver Bub Means (leg) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Means suffered a serious lower-leg injury in the preseason opener against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday and will now miss the entire 2025 season. Before his injury on Sunday, he caught one pass for a gain of 12 yards. It's definitely a blow to the Saints receiving corps after the 24-year-old fifth-rounder last year caught nine of his 15 targets for 118 yards and one touchdown in seven games (one start) in his rookie season. Means also missed the final nine games of his first year in the league with an ankle injury, so he has quickly developed an injury-prone label. Means will now rehab his leg in hopes of being ready for the start of the 2026 season.
