Who Should I Start? Christian Kirk or Rome Odunze

Sunday, December 21, 3:13 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk (illness) is officially active for Sunday's Week 16 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. He had been listed as questionable after missing Friday's practice. The veteran receiver is healthy enough to suit up this weekend, but he'll likely continue to operate in a depth role behind wide receivers Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins. He could also be out-targeted and out-produced by tight end Dalton Schultz once again. As it stands, he ranks as RotoBaller's WR80 and can be benched or dropped to waivers in fantasy football.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) did not practice all week and has officially been ruled out for Saturday's divisional rematch against the visiting Green Bay Packers in Week 16, according to the team. Odunze will miss a third straight game while he deals with a stress fracture in his foot, and it's sounding like the Bears will hold him out through the end of the regular season so that they'll have him closer to 100% for the playoffs. In addition to Odunze, Chicago will be without rookie wideout Luther Burden III (ankle). Running back D'Andre Swift (groin) and tight end Cole Kmet (ankle, knee) are also questionable. Quarterback Caleb Williams will be missing some key weapons against a strong Packers defense, even if they're missing pass-rusher Micah Parsons (knee). DJ Moore, Olamide Zaccheaus, and Devin Duvernay figure to be the Bears' top-three receivers on Saturday evening.
