Outlook Treylon Burks
Treylon Burks vs. Rams — Foot injury clouds a surging role in Washington
Burks has carved out an expanded role in Washington's passing attack following Terry McLaurin's season-ending injury, notably posting 81 yards on five targets last week. However, he enters Week 9 listed as questionable after missing Wednesday's practice with a foot issue, making it crucial to check back often for final active status before kickoff.
Rostered in 18% of leagues, Burks has momentum, but our weekly projection expects a modest 2.1 catches for 31 yards and 6.7 fantasy points in an expected high-scoring home matchup. If active, his big-play ability offers upside, but the foot issue and rotational volume keep him as a speculative deep-league play.

Brian Thomas Jr. vs. Colts — Diminishing Role Keeps Him on Fantasy Benches
Despite remaining listed as a starter on the depth chart, Brian Thomas Jr. has seen his role decline significantly after an in-game benching and going catchless across his last two appearances. With trade rumors swirling and fellow wideout Jakobi Meyers questionable with hamstring and ankle injuries, Thomas has an opportunity to rebuild trust, but his current snap floor remains concerning.
Fantasy sentiment has cratered accordingly, with his start rate dropping to just 2%. Our projection expects minimal involvement, forecasting roughly 1.7 receptions for 22 yards (6.0 fantasy points) against Indianapolis. With Jacksonville favored by 10 points in a matchup likely slanted toward the run, Thomas is strictly a bench stash until his route participation stabilizes.
