Who Should I Start? Mike Evans or Christian Kirk

Friday, December 20, 5:22 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (rest) has been removed from the injury report after getting in a few limited practice sessions this week. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried as the Bucs were just trying to keep their veteran wideout fresh for this Week 16 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Evans is good to go and should be treated as a WR1 for this plus-matchup against the banged up Cowboys defense. Last week, Evans hauled in nine of his 11 targets for 159 yards and two touchdowns in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The 31-year-old has finished with 68 receiving yards or more in every game since returning from injury. He should continue being an elite fantasy option this weekend.

According to Adam Schefter, before Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk's (collarbone) injury, the Pittsburgh Steelers had a deal in the works to acquire him. Per Schefter, league sources told ESPN there was a "reasonable chance" that Kirk would be heading to the Steel City. However, that plan was derailed when the 27-year-old suffered a broken clavicle that effectively ended his season. The NFL Insider noted that Pittsburgh is still looking to upgrade their wide receiver corps before the Nov. 5 trade deadline and that they've been "making calls and checking on any and all available wide receivers." With the last call for trades quickly approaching, we'll know if they're successful or not over the next 36 hours. Stay tuned.
