Who Should I Start? Treylon Burks or Tyrell Shavers

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks (finger) will not travel with the team to Madrid on Monday night and has been ruled out for the Week 11 contest in Spain on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, according to the team. Burks' frustrating career continues, as he was in line for a bigger workload in Washington's passing attack with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) ruled out for another game this weekend. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the former first-rounder of the Tennessee Titans underwent surgery on his finger on Monday. It's not believed to be a long-term issue, but the 25-year-old will miss Week 11. The Commanders have their bye in Week 12, so it's possible Burks will be ready to play in Week 13 versus the Denver Broncos. McLaurin, Burks, and Luke McCaffrey (collarbone) will be out in Madrid, leaving Deebo Samuel Sr., Chris Moore, and rookie Jaylin Lane as the team's top pass-catchers. Robbie Chosen will also have a bigger role.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Tyrell Shavers finished with the team's only touchdown reception in a 23-19 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday. With the Bills leading 7-3 late in the second quarter, Shavers made a spectacular one-handed catch in the end zone for an 11-yard score. That was one of two grabs for Shavers, who totaled 24 yards on three targets. Shavers' impact went beyond the box score, as he also drew a pair of defensive holding penalties that led to first downs for the Bills. The former undrafted free agent from San Diego State, who has been fighting for a place near the back of the Bills' receiver depth chart this summer, made his presence felt in all three of the team's exhibition games. Shavers led the Bills with 120 yards on six receptions in the preseason, and now he's left to hope that production will help him earn a roster spot.
