Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Christian Kirk

Sunday, December 3, 10:33 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp finally gave some production in the team's 36-19 win against the Cleveland Browns. The former All-Pro caught six of his eight targets for 39 receiving yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown. Kupp was still not his dominant self, but surpassed four catches and got into the endzone for the first time since Week 6. Considering the tough matchup and his recent slump, this stat line is refreshing for those rostering him. In yet another difficult matchup with the Baltimore Ravens in Week 14, consider Kupp as a low-end WR2.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk (core) is expected to miss between six and eight weeks due to a core muscle injury that requires surgery. This is a tough development for the Jaguars, who also have quarterback Trevor Lawrence dealing with a high-ankle sprain. Six weeks from his injury would mark the start of the Wild Card playoffs. An eight-week return means he'd be back for the AFC Championship game if Jacksonville made it that far. Either way, his season for fantasy football purposes is most likely over. Kirk caught 57 passes for 787 yards and three touchdowns in 12 games this year.
