Who Should I Start? Treylon Burks or LaJohntay Wester

Friday, November 28, 8:48 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks (finger) has been cleared from the injury report and is good to go for Sunday night's matchup against the Denver Broncos. Burks missed Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins after undergoing surgery on a broken finger suffered in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions. He reportedly got his finger stuck in the cornerback's facemask and broke it in half, but still made the catch on the play. The former first-round pick in 2022 has been riddled by injuries for most of his career in the NFL, but he has an opportunity to stick in Washington. Burks was impressive in limited action against the Lions in Week 10, playing 38.9% of the snaps and hauling in all three of his targets for 58 yards. His role in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos is to be determined with No. 1 wideout Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) returning, but Burks isn't a fantasy-relevant player right now regardless.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver LaJohntay Wester put together a fantastic debut in the team's first preseason game after being drafted in the sixth round out of Colorado. The speedster scored his first touchdown near the end of the first quarter when he returned a punt to the house for 87 yards. He flashed his elusiveness after making the first four tacklers miss, and turned on the burners. Overall, he finished with 104 return yards on three attempts and two receptions for 41 yards on three targets. If Wester continues this level of play, he could find his way into the fourth receiver spot over Devontez Walker and Tylan Wallace.
