Who Should I Start? Treylon Burks or Tim Jones

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.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Tim Jones nabbed five of eight targets for 68 yards, all team highs, on Saturday against the New England Patriots. The veteran is aiming to make Minnesota's 53-man roster, which should have room for an extra receiver with Jordan Addison (suspension) set to miss the first three games and Rondale Moore (knee) out for the season. Jones' fantasy value is tied to whether he actually makes the club, and on Saturday, he looked capable of being a depth option.
