Who Should I Start? Christian Kirk or Xavier Worthy

Saturday, November 15, 6:47 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk had one of his quietest games of the season last week, despite the Texans airing it out in their comeback win over the Jaguars. Kirk finished with just one catch for three yards on three targets from Davis Mills, who was starting in place of C.J. Stroud (concussion). Mills will start again this week, and the Texans are expected to rely on their run game in their trip to Tennessee to face the Titans. In a reduced role in what is expected to be a conservative game plan, Kirk is just the WR64 in RotoBaller's rankings this week, making him not a great start in most formats.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will take on the Denver Broncos in Week 11. Worthy should be well-rested coming out of the team's Week 10 bye, but it may not matter given his lack of production lately. Worthy was set to open the season as the team's clear WR1 during Rashee Rice's suspension, but Travis Kelce ran into Worthy, derailing his season in the opening quarter of Week 1. Worthy returned from his shoulder injury in Week 4 and racked up five catches for 83 yards, along with some usage in the run game. It was a promising first game, but it has been downhill since for Worthy. The speedy wideout has now caught three or fewer passes in three of his last four games. Worthy has only managed to eclipse 50 receiving yards twice in six games this season, and now he has to contend with Rice for targets. Worthy will also face the Broncos defense this week, the toughest matchup for opposing wide receivers this season. Worthy is ranked WR29 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, putting him in WR3/Flex range this week.
