Who Should I Start? Christian Kirk or Colby Parkinson

Monday, November 24, 10:54 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk had his best game of the 2025 season in Week 12, recording five catches for 54 yards and a touchdown on six targets against the Buffalo Bills. It's been an injury-marred season for Kirk overall, as he's recorded 21 catches for 198 yards and a touchdown across seven games played. However, Kirk has earned 21 targets over the last four weeks and could be re-establishing himself as a steady presence in the slot for the Texans. The 29-year-old has typically been a fairly productive wide receiver when healthy, averaging 6.6 targets and 53.7 receiving yards per game across 100 career NFL contests. In PPR fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams, Kirk could be worth targeting on the waiver wire heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson has been putting together a nice stretch of play over the last few weeks. Over the last three games, Parkinson has hauled in 10 receptions for 96 yards and three touchdowns. He has taken on a larger role in the offense with Tyler Higbee (ankle) landing on the injured reserve. Parkinson has shown he is capable of the TE1 role and is looking like a viable red zone threat. Fantasy managers in need of a possible streaming option in Week 13 should look at Parkinson for his matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
