Who Should I Start? Christian Kirk or Jordan Love

Saturday, October 4, 11:08 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk caught three of four targets for 20 yards last week in his team's 26-0 win over the Titans, and he will look to continue to work his way into a volume role against the Ravens this week, after missing the first two weeks of the season. He played 61% of snaps in Week 4 after playing 67% in Week 3. With the Texans playing from ahead, they didn't throw the ball as muh in Week 4, though, so his targets decreased. The veteran wideout continues to find a way to carve out a role in Houston's underwhelming passing offense, and he seems to be the primary slot option and secondary receiver behind Nico Collins. The Ravens have been very beatable through the air so he does have potential flier upside even though his WR43 ranking on RotoBaller means he's not an ideal flex solution.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is currently outside of the top 12 as fantasy football's QB13 and should be considered as such for Week 7 as the Packers square off with the Arizona Cardinals. Love came back down to earth in Week 6, with a meager 19-of-26 passing line, with a touchdown and an interception against the Cincinnati Bengals. With such a porous Bengals' defense, the hope was that Love could exploit a team in the bottom ten of fantasy defenses through the air. Love now faces the Cardinals in Week 7, who give up the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. With a low fantasy points ceiling, Love is merely a streaming fantasy quarterback option.
