Who Should I Start? Christian Kirk or Tutu Atwell

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.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) will not be activated off Injured Reserve for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Nate Atkins of The Athletic. The 26-year-old wideout has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury during the Rams' Week 7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. The Rams opened Atwell's 21-day practice window last week, and while he's been a full participant for every practice, his return will wait at least another week. Teammates Jordan Whittington, Xavier Smith, and Konata Mumpfield will continue to split reps behind the Rams' star wide receiver duo of Davante Adams and Puka Nacua. Atwell's next chance to return to the field will be for a Week 15 showdown against the Detroit Lions in L.A.
