Should You Start or Sit Kirk in Week 13?
Kirk got his first touchdown of the season and saw two end zone targets in the upset win over the Bills on Thursday night, but I’m more tempted to call it a flash in the pan than anything predictive.
For the game, he ranked fourth among receivers in snaps played and ran just 13 routes. The fact that he was able to earn six targets on that limited role was good to see and can be used as an excuse to roster him, but I’m not comfortable going this far down the Houston depth chart to look for value.
If an injury were to occur to Nico Collins or Jayden Higgins, we might have a conversation. Heck, if we erased Xavier Hutchinson from the equation, maybe I could get there as a flexible piece in a deeper format.
But with this WR room currently healthy, Kirk doesn’t own the type of profile that makes me excited, and thus, he ranks well outside of my top 35 at the position.
