Who Should I Start? Xavier Hutchinson or Xavier Gipson

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.

The New York Giants have claimed wide receiver Xavier Gipson off waivers from the New York Jets, per NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Gipson was released by the Jets after his costly special teams fumble played a big role in the team's Week 1 loss. With the Giants, Gipson should have a chance to battle wide receiver Gunner Olszewski for a role as a reserve slot receiver and primary special teamer. In 35 career NFL games, Gipson has recorded 27 receptions for 268 yards and one touchdown. He should remain off the radar of fantasy managers.
