Who Should I Start? Christian Kirk or Wan'Dale Robinson

Tuesday, September 16, 3:24 PM

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Tuesday that wide receiver Christian Kirk (hamstring) is expected to return in Week 3 against the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars after he missed the first two games of the year with a hamstring injury. Houston will welcome Kirk back with open arms after opening the season 0-2. While Kirk should operate as the starter out of the slot, he'll be a pretty shaky flex play in fantasy in his Texans debut this Sunday, especially since quarterback C.J. Stroud has been under pressure on 39% of his dropbacks through two weeks -- seventh-most among starting QBs. The return of Kirk should only help Houston's offense, though, and take some attention off All-Pro wideout Nico Collins. Rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel will have an even harder time standing out with Kirk back in the fold.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (foot) is on the Week 3 injury report and was listed as a limited participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. In addition to Robinson, fellow wideout Darius Slayton (calf, groin) was also limited. Robinson had an ankle injury last week but was active in the Week 2 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys and looked fully healthy, going off for eight catches on 10 targets for 142 yards and a touchdown. While the 24-year-old's status bears watching ahead of this Sunday night's showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs, he figures to have a good shot at suiting up. Robinson has been one of quarterback Russell Wilson's favorite targets behind Malik Nabers in a pass-happy offense through two weeks, making him a priority waiver-wire addition this week. However, don't be surprised if Wan'Dale and the Giants' offense comes back to Earth in Week 3 against a strong Chiefs defense on Sunday night.
