Who Should I Start? Christian Kirk or Jaxon Smith-Njigba

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.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba bounced back in a big way during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Smith-Njigba gave fantasy managers a dud last week when he finished with two receptions for 23 yards in the win over the Minnesota Vikings. The third-year wideout was much more involved this weekend. Smith-Njigba scored his first touchdown of the day on a 28-yard play in the third quarter. He found the end zone a second time on a four-yard pass in the fourth. The 23-year-old hauled in seven of his 10 targets for 92 yards and two scores in the blowout win. He'll look to continue his MVP-type season against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15.
