Who Should I Start? Treylon Burks or Joseph Ngata

Saturday, December 6, 9:51 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks hauled in one of the highlight catches of the season during Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. Burks finished with one catch for five yards and a touchdown, attracting some fantasy football interest after making such a sensational play. The former 2022 first-round pick missed Washington's Week 11 game against the Miami Dolphins due to a finger injury, but he has carved out a role with the team. He has five catches for 77 yards and a touchdown on eight targets while playing 54.1% of the snaps in three games. Washington's offense is getting healthier by the week, with Terry McLaurin returning last week against Denver, and now quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) and receiver Noah Brown (groin) are both set to return in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings. It will be interesting to see what role Burks plays with Brown back in the fold. While Burks has intriguing upside in deeper leagues, he can safely be left on the waiver wire in most re-draft leagues for Week 14.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Joseph Ngata caught all five of his targets for 88 yards during the team's 14-13 preseason win over the New England Patriots. The second-year receiver flashed similar skills on occasion last preseason but spent most of his time on the practice squad. There is a fight for the final few receiver spots between Ngata, veteran John Ross, and E.J. Jenkins, but Ross has seen plenty of reps with the second team in practice and has seemed to have the most buzz out of the group this preseason. If Ngata can have another strong outing next week, perhaps he can nab one of the final roster spots. If not, expect the young receiver to latch onto the Philadelphia practice squad.
