Who Should I Start? Treylon Burks or Zachariah Branch

Wednesday, November 11, 1:29 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks (foot) was cleared from the injury report and is good to go for Thursday night's game against the division-leading Giants. Burks missed Week 9's loss to the Rams due to a foot injury, but will return in Week 10 and look to provide a spark to a disappointing Washington offense. The former 2022 first-round pick has carved out a meaningful role in Washington, catching 12 of 20 targets for 233 yards and two touchdowns through seven games in 2026. Burks has been one of the most efficient receivers in the league with his opportunities, ranking ninth in yards per target (11.6) and 14th in explosive catch rate (36.4%) among wide receivers with at least 100 routes per Fantasy Points Data. Burks doesn't demand a high target share, though he has earned Jayden Daniels' trust in a lot of situations and has big play upside. Burks projects as a low-end flex option on Thursday against a Giants defense that ranks middle of the pack in most metrics to wide receivers over the last four weeks, ranking as RotoBaller's WR63 for Week 10.
