Should I start Treylon Burks or Tez Johnson in Week 9?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Treylon Burks, and the board ranks him 159th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Our board does not carry Tez Johnson at all right now: live drafts have stopped taking him and there is no player market on him this week, so he has no rank, no tier and no ADP here.
