Christian Kirk Slipping in the Texans Rotation

Saturday, December 6, 7:21 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk still played about half of the team's snaps last week against the Colts, but did not have a catch or a target in the team's 20-16 victory. He'll be in a tough matchup this week on Sunday Night Football against the Chiefs, making him an option best left on the bench or waiver wire. The veteran slot receiver did have five catches for 54 yards and a touchdown in Week 12 against the Bills, so he still does have some potential, but he's extremely high-risk since he's playing behind Nico Collins, rookie Jayden Higgins, and Xavier Hutchinson, and also splitting time with rookie Jaylin Noel, who has been logging about 20 snaps per game. Kirk is the No. 75 WR in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, so he isn't a strong start this week.

Matthew Golden Looking at Reduced Role When he Returns

Friday, December 5, 9:13 PM

Green Bay Packers rookie first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 14 matchup versus the Chicago Bears. When healthy, Golden has been barely noticeable on the field. The rookie wideout has been held to under 30 receiving yards in three of his last four games. The return of Christian Watson has played a role in Golden's lack of production. It's not going to get better for Golden with fellow wideout Jayden Reed (shoulder, foot) nearing his return from Injured Reserve, possibly this Sunday. Golden played less than 40 percent of the offensive snaps in his last two games. Even if he returns to action this weekend, Golden isn't someone to trust in 12-team fantasy leagues.
