Who Should I Start? Christian Kirk or Joshua Palmer

Saturday, November 8, 5:29 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk is a high-risk play in all formats in Week 10 when his team hosts the Jaguars. Kirk just returned from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury, but he'll now be without his starting quarterback, C.J. Stroud (concussion), for at least this week. He had four catches for 26 yards on eight targets last week against Denver and has at least three catches in each game this season, but only for 135 scoreless yards. Backup QB Davis Mills will likely manage the game while the team relies on its excellent defense. Kirk typically gets enough receptions to deserve a little PPR attention, but with a new QB and likely a conservative game plan, he is very high-risk this week. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 53 WR this week, so he should be left on the bench or waiver wire in most formats.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle, knee) is officially inactive for a divisional clash on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins in Week 10. Palmer put in limited practices this week, but the Bills didn't think he was ready to return to action just yet. The 26-year-old pass-catcher has not played since Week 6 and has been a disappointment so far in his first year in Buffalo after joining the team in free agency. With Palmer out again in Miami this weekend, the Bills will continue on with Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman as their top options at the position, with Elijah Moore, Curtis Samuel, and Tyrell Shavers battling for WR3 targets. Palmer's next chance to return will be for a Week 11 tilt against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He should remain on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues. Palmer has only 14 catches for 234 yards and no touchdowns so far in 2025 on 20 targets.
