Who Should I Start? Christian Kirk or Davis Mills

Saturday, November 8, 5:29 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk is a high-risk play in all formats in Week 10 when his team hosts the Jaguars. Kirk just returned from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury, but he'll now be without his starting quarterback, C.J. Stroud (concussion), for at least this week. He had four catches for 26 yards on eight targets last week against Denver and has at least three catches in each game this season, but only for 135 scoreless yards. Backup QB Davis Mills will likely manage the game while the team relies on its excellent defense. Kirk typically gets enough receptions to deserve a little PPR attention, but with a new QB and likely a conservative game plan, he is very high-risk this week. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 53 WR this week, so he should be left on the bench or waiver wire in most formats.

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills is likely to start again as C.J. Stroud (concussion) remains out of practice in concussion protocol. Mills was dynamic in the win over the Jaguars last week, completing 60% of his passes for 292 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Mills leaned heavily on Nico Collins (15 targets) and Dalton Schultz (11 targets) in the passing game. Head coach DeMeco Ryans clearly trusts Mills to make plays, which has been rewarded early. For teams in need of bye week help, Mills is an excellent option on the waiver wire heading into Week 11.
