Who Should I Start? Treylon Burks or Kayshon Boutte

After visiting with the Denver Broncos on Tuesday, former Tennessee Titans first-round wide receiver Treylon Burks will take a visit with the Washington Commanders on Wednesday, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Despite not being able to avoid injuries early in his career with the Titans, Burks is one of the top free agents on the market in the middle of the 2025 season and should be scooped up sooner rather than later. The Commanders have a more immediate need for receiving depth right now, given injuries to Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin, knee). Veteran Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) also didn't look 100% in the Monday night loss to the Chicago Bears. The fact that Burks is taking visits with interested teams means that he should be healed from the broken collarbone that he suffered in July.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte has returned to the fantasy radar after his impressive outing against the New Orleans Saints in Week 6. The third-year LSU product caught all five of his targets for 93 yards and two touchdowns, taking advantage of a favorable matchup against a secondary ranking at the bottom of the league when covering perimeter receivers. While Boutte may not see another matchup as favorable for the rest of the season, Sunday's outing still has him trending upward ahead of Week 7. Boutte may be the Patriots' top scoring threat in the receiving game, and he offers the most explosiveness as a big-play option deep downfield. In addition to being a solid waiver wire option for the rest of the season, he also has short-term streaming appeal against a Titans defense allowing the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025.
