Who Should I Start? Christian Kirk or Jayden Reed

Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk (hamstring) will make his first appearance with his new team in Week 3 after being removed from the injury report ahead of this week's matchup in Jacksonville. The 28-year-old from Texas A&M is starting his eighth season in the NFL after playing four years with the Cardinals and three with the Jaguars. He'll get a chance to face his former team in his Texans' debut, but the team's offense has sputtered so far this season. Since his role may be limited and the offense hasn't been effective, he is only WR64 in the RotoBaller rankings for his season debut. He isn't a great option this week, but it will be important to monitor his usage and role in Houston's offense.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) has officially been placed on Injured Reserve, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. This move comes as no surprise after Reed suffered a fractured collarbone in Week 2. He had also been attempting to play through a Jones fracture in his foot, so Reed underwent operations on both injuries earlier this week. The IR placement guarantees Reed will miss at least four games, but he's almost certain to be out significantly longer than that. Without him, Packers wide receivers Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, and Matthew Golden could all see a bump in both snaps and target volume. Reed could be stashed in fantasy leagues that offer an IR spot, but there's no guarantee he will be able to return in time to make an impact later this season.
