Who Should I Start? Christian Kirk or Jayden Reed

Monday, November 24, 10:54 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk had his best game of the 2025 season in Week 12, recording five catches for 54 yards and a touchdown on six targets against the Buffalo Bills. It's been an injury-marred season for Kirk overall, as he's recorded 21 catches for 198 yards and a touchdown across seven games played. However, Kirk has earned 21 targets over the last four weeks and could be re-establishing himself as a steady presence in the slot for the Texans. The 29-year-old has typically been a fairly productive wide receiver when healthy, averaging 6.6 targets and 53.7 receiving yards per game across 100 career NFL contests. In PPR fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams, Kirk could be worth targeting on the waiver wire heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) was listed as limited on Monday on the team's estimated practice report, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Tom Silverstein. Reed had his 21-day practice window opened last Friday, and he was listed as limited then, too. The 25-year-old is making progress in his rehab from a broken collarbone and foot fracture, but he's probably more of a long shot to make his return in Week 13 on Thursday for the Thanksgiving Day game versus the division-rival Detroit Lions. If Reed does upgrade to a full practice in the next two days and is activated from Injured Reserve, the Packers will most likely ease him back into the offense. Either way, Reed won't come recommended for fantasy football purposes in Week 13 despite his touchdown upside. Reed should have a key role in the Packers' offense eventually, though, making him worth a waiver-wire pickup this week.
