Who Should I Start? Kyle Philips or Xavier Hutchinson

Sunday, December 31, 12:16 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kyle Philips and tight end Trevon Wesco are both healthy scratches for the Week 17 game on Sunday against the Houston Texans. Philips missed the last two games due to a hamstring injury. He's healed up, but the Titans will keep him out regardless. The 24-year-old was also out in Week 13 and returned in Week 14 to play just three offensive snaps in the win over the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football. The second-year receiver has mostly been an afterthought in Tennessee's offense this year, catching only 13 of his 19 targets for 166 yards and no touchdowns in eight games played. The Titans will move forward on Sunday with DeAndre Hopkins, Treylon Burks and Chris Moore as their top three wideouts.

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson made his NFL debut in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday and finished the 25-9 loss by catching his only target for a nine-yard gain. Hutchinson was Houston's No. 5 receiver in this one with John Metchie III (hamstring) unable to play, and he saw just seven snaps on offense. The 23-year-old sixth-round selection worked behind Robert Woods, Nico Collins, Noah Brown and rookie Tank Dell on the road in Baltimore. The Iowa State has good size, which could make him a red-zone option, but he's buried too far down the Texans' receiver depth chart to be on the fantasy radar in 2023.
