Who Should I Start? Christian Kirk or DeVonta Smith

Friday, September 29, 4:06 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk has come on strong as of late and looks to continue his solid play vs. Atlanta this week. The fifth-year player out of Texas A&M has provided fantasy managers two top-30 finishes in a row, after settling in at WR96 Week 1. It's no secret that the Jags offense has looked discombobulated to start the year, but Kirk has been one of the long bright spots over the past two weeks for quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The shifty receiver is second on the team in targets and tied for the lead in receiving yards with both Ridley and Evan Engram. Consider Kirk a fine flex option for the matchup with Atlanta in London.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith will take on the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 4 on Sunday. While the 24-year-old missed Thursday's practice due to an illness, he was a full participant on Friday and is not listed on the team's final injury report. Last week against Tampa Bay, Smith came back to earth after scoring in each of the season's first two games. The former Heisman winner took a backseat to A.J. Brown, who got the squeaky wheel treatment after being visibly frustrated about his involvement during Week 2. This matchup against the Commanders is excellent for fantasy wide receivers, setting Smith up for a bounce-back performance. Washington allows the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position and was eaten alive by Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis last week. Consider Smith a high-end WR2 in Week 4.
