Who Should I Start? Van Jefferson or Xavier Hutchinson

Saturday, November 15, 6:41 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Van Jefferson has been a non-factor in the offense over the last few weeks. Jefferson has seen increased playing time with Calvin Ridley (hamstring) missing each of the last three games. During that time, Jefferson has been held to six receptions for 68 yards and has been held out of the end zone. Right now, Ridley is questionable for the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Houston Texans. If he sits, Jefferson will probably play over 80 percent of the offensive snaps, but that hasn't helped his fantasy value. Jefferson should be viewed as a touchdown-dependent option for Week 11.

Houston Texans wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson didn't draw a single target in Sunday's 36-29 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was the first game this season where Hutchinson was held without a catch despite running the third-most routes on the team. His last catchless game came in Week 12 of last season, where he played only eight offensive snaps. The 25-year-old has still been a reliable player overall for the Texans this season, recording 21 receptions for 222 yards and three touchdowns on 29 targets while also serving as an excellent blocker. Hutchinson had his lowest snap share of the season in Week 10 at 52.2% and may continue to see less work with rookie Jayden Higgins emerging over the last few weeks. Hutchinson is a useful player for the Texans, but can be left on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues.
