Who Should I Start? Christian Kirk or Dawson Knox

Friday, October 24, 6:06 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Unsurprisingly, Kirk will sit out this weekend after not practicing all week. It has been an injury plagued season for Kirk who has only managed to play in three games. The Texans will also be without Nico Collins (concussion), which will leave them shorthanded on offense. The expectation is that Xavier Hutchinson, Jayden Higgins, and Jaylin Noel will be asked to step up. Between the three, Noel offers the most upside after hauling in four receptions for 77 yards last week.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox could continue to see the bulk of the snap share, as Dalton Kincaid (oblique) remains questionable for Week 8. Despite the increased opportunities, Knox has failed to cash in. The seven-year veteran saw just two targets in their last game, but did haul in a 19-yard touchdown. Knox remains a touchdown-dependent play this week, but with the other weapons on the team, he is hard to trust for fantasy purposes. The Bills will need to limit the Panthers' offense to give the team extra opportunities against a stingy top-10 defense this week.
