Who Should I Start? Christian Kirk or Keon Coleman

Friday, January 16, 3:12 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk posted an underwhelming regular season in his first year with the team, recording 28 receptions for 239 yards and a touchdown on 52 targets across 13 games played. However, the 29-year-old broke out with a dominant performance in Houston's Wild Card Weekend win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, hauling in eight catches for 144 yards and a touchdown on nine targets. With star Texans wideout Nico Collins (concussion) exiting the game in the second half after suffering a concussion, Kirk stepped into a more prominent role in his team's offense. Collins has not practiced this week and is reportedly trending towards missing Houston's Divisional Round matchup against the New England Patriots. As a result, Kirk could see another week as the primary target-earner from Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud. If Collins is ruled out, fantasy managers should view Kirk as the top wide receiver option in Houston for the Divisional Round.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman hasn't played a game since mid-January, but perhaps no player has had a rougher transition into the offseason. After a disappointing sophomore season that saw him catch 38 passes for 404 yards and four touchdowns, Coleman's name was front and center as the Bills transitioned from long-time head coach Sean McDermott to former offensive coordinator Joe Brady. With Bills owner Terry Pegula publicly insinuating that Coleman's second-round selection in the 2024 draft was not unanimously agreed upon in the draft room, he put general manager Brandon Beane and new head coach Brady in a position to do damage control. Coleman had already seen his dynasty value tumble throughout 2025, as he was made a healthy scratch on multiple occasions, but it currently sits at an all-time low, making him a nearly impossible sell.
