Who Should I Start? Kenny Golladay or Christian Kirk

Free agent wide receiver Kenny Golladay worked out for the New York Jets on Wednesday but will not sign at this time, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. The Jets hosted a few free agents on Wednesday, according to Pelissero, including quarterback Anthony Brown, running back Ellis Merriweather, and wide receivers James Proche and Jeff Smith. Golladay, who was one of the biggest free agent flops in recent memory, will continue to look elsewhere for a new home. The New York Giants released him just two years into a four-year, $72 million deal back in March. He's still just 29 years old and posted back-to-back 1000-yard seasons in 2018 and 2019 with the Detroit Lions so he could get another shot elsewhere.

Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday and got in a limited session, per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. He is expected to make his team and season debut in Week 3 against his former team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, after he missed the first two weeks of the season. Fellow wideout Braxton Berrios (hamstring) is also expected to make his season debut this weekend. The 28-year-old Kirk is expected to be Houston's starting slot receiver when healthy, but don't be surprised if they ease him back into action against the Jags. In a Texans offense that has struggled to sustain drives through two weeks, we wouldn't recommend Kirk as anything more than a shaky WR5/flex if he's active on Sunday for his debut with the team. His impending return is bad news for both rookie receivers Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel.
