Who Should I Start? Amari Cooper or Christian Kirk

Sunday, September 24, 4:31 PM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper caught seven of his eight targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in a 27-3 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 3. Cooper put the game out of reach with a 43-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter on a play where he got wide open behind the defense and easily hauled in the deep pass for the score. The touchdown goes down as Cooper's first of the year. Through three games he has 17 catches on 25 targets for 243 yards. Cooper will be locked in as a top-20 wide receiver heading into Week 4's divisional matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk caught four of six targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in the loss to Houston on Sunday. It was the second straight week that Kirk led the Jacksonville pass-catchers in fantasy output, after being a complete non-factor in Week 1. With Zay Jones ruled out (Knee), Kirk played 86% of the WR snaps for the Jags, which was the highest on the week. Calvin Ridley was second with 82%. It's another start-worthy performance for the former Cardinal, who now has two consecutive top-25 PPR weekly finishes. Kirk is still going to be a risky play each week, especially if Jones is active, but he's proven that he still belongs in the WR3/flex category. Up next is a matchup with an Atlanta secondary that slot receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown just shredded for over 100 yards.
