Who Should I Start? Christian Kirk or Michael Pittman Jr.

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.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has gotten off to a hot start in 2025. The veteran wide receiver has caught 21 passes for 234 yards and three touchdowns through four games. Pittman will look to keep it going in a Week 5 home matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders have been extremely generous to opposing wideouts this season, allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to the position through four games. Pittman sets up as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3 in this prime matchup, making him an excellent fantasy option this weekend.
