Who Should I Start? Xavier Hutchinson or Ryan Flournoy

Wednesday, November 12, 12:17 AM

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.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy took advantage of his opportunities earlier in the season with CeeDee Lamb missing three weeks due to an ankle injury. Flournoy had a career day in Week 5 against the Jets, catching six of his nine targets for 114 yards. The 26-year-old has since slid back into a rotational role with Lamb back healthy, but he's still finding ways to make an impact. Flournoy caught his first career touchdown in Dallas' Week 9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals while playing 67.2% of the snaps, his most since Week 6, before Lamb returned to the lineup. Flournoy has the size and athleticism to be a part of the Cowboys ' wide receiver sets alongside Lamb and George Pickens, and could still have some deep league fantasy value in the Cowboys' high-volume passing attack. Dallas will be on primetime again on Monday Night Football at the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11 when they return from their bye.
