Who Should I Start? Braxton Berrios or Xavier Weaver

Tuesday, September 16, 7:17 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios (hamstring) is expected to return in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars after missing the first two games of the season. Head coach DeMeco Ryans expressed optimism about his availability for the divisional matchup. The veteran slot receiver and return specialist, who previously spent time with the Jets and Dolphins, faces an uphill battle for snaps. With Christian Kirk also on track to return and rookie Jaylin Noel making noise in the return game, Berrios is buried on the depth chart. He should remain well off the fantasy radar in all formats.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Xavier Weaver (oblique) is officially questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The undrafted rookie wideout is still looking to make his NFL debut, and he has a chance to do so this week after logging three straight limited practice sessions. Weaver performed well in Arizona's preseason finale, reeling in 2-of-4 targets for 56 yards. He also handled two punt and kickoff returns for an additional 81 yards. The Colorado product projects to have difficulty finding consistent playing time in the starting WR rotation behind Marvin Harrison Jr, Michael Wilson, and Greg Dortch -- even when healthy. However, he is someone to monitor regarding his usage on kick returns. If Weaver can gain consistency there, he could be helpful for fantasy managers. Otherwise, he can be safely avoided sans deep dynasty leagues.
