Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Christian Kirk

Sunday, September 24, 5:23 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen had an enormous game in a Week 3 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Allen was targeted 20 times, making 18 catches for 215 yards. He also completed a 49-yard pass for a touchdown, the first of his career. Allen was projected to have a big game because of an excellent matchup against the Vikings zone defense, but he exceeded expectations in this one. He should have another big game in Week 4 at home against the Raiders. Allen remains a strong WR1 option every week.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk takes on the Houston Texans in a divisional Week 3 matchup. After logging one catch in Week 1, Kirk came back to lead the Jaguars in targets (14) against the Chiefs, hauling in 11 passes for 110 yards. However, Kirk still remains a shaky play, especially against the surprisingly decent pass defense of Houston. Predicting the Jags receivers' boom games might be one of the more difficult things to do in fantasy this year. Calvin Ridley remains a must-start, but Kirk fits into the boom-or-bust WR3 category, especially against a team that held him to three receptions for 32 yards over two games last season.
