Who Should I Start? Treylon Burks or Tank Dell

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.

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) has been steadily rehabbing from the gruesome injury he suffered late last season against the Chiefs, working his way back toward full strength. During Houston's Week 3 broadcast, analyst Ross Tucker mentioned that he saw Dell running sprints, which is an encouraging sign in his recovery process. The 25-year-old has been on the sideline during a recent Texans game, but there is still no clear sign of him returning anytime soon. For now, the Texans will continue to rely on Nico Collins, who left Monday night with a concussion, along with rookies Jaylin Noel, Jayden Higgins, and Xavier Hutchinson at receiver.
