Who Should I Start? Treylon Burks or Darius Cooper

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.

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Darius Cooper last week logged his lowest snap count since returning from injury, getting on the field for just three plays against the Detroit Lions. Now past the halfway mark of the season, it's seeming more and more likely that Cooper will not see any catches before the 2025 campaign has ended. Even when the receivers above him on the depth chart have been sidelined or had rough games, Cooper has not gotten his opportunities. He should continue to be left off of fantasy rosters as Philly faces the Cowboys this weekend.
