Who Should I Start? Christian Kirk or Drake London

Saturday, December 6, 7:21 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk still played about half of the team's snaps last week against the Colts, but did not have a catch or a target in the team's 20-16 victory. He'll be in a tough matchup this week on Sunday Night Football against the Chiefs, making him an option best left on the bench or waiver wire. The veteran slot receiver did have five catches for 54 yards and a touchdown in Week 12 against the Bills, so he still does have some potential, but he's extremely high-risk since he's playing behind Nico Collins, rookie Jayden Higgins, and Xavier Hutchinson, and also splitting time with rookie Jaylin Noel, who has been logging about 20 snaps per game. Kirk is the No. 75 WR in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, so he isn't a strong start this week.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) has been ruled out for the Thursday night game against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 15, according to Marc Raimondi of ESPN. The writing was on the wall for London to miss a fourth straight game after he missed practice on both Monday and Tuesday. The 24-year-old hasn't practiced or played since spraining his PCL back in Week 11. Fantasy managers who stay alive in the playoffs will be hoping that London can return to practice next week and play in Week 16 versus the Arizona Cardinals. With London sidelined again this week, Darnell Mooney will once again be Atlanta's WR1, although he'll be a volatile WR4/flex. Mooney had 74 yards and a touchdown in the first game without London, but in the last two weeks, he's caught only three passes for 31 yards. Tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. has benefited the most in the last three weeks with London out.
