2. Christian Kirk, Arizona Cardinals

Christian Kirk has enjoyed a successful 2021 season so far catching passes for MVP frontrunner Kyler Murray. He’s caught 26-of-31 targets for 358 yards and three touchdowns. He’s second in yardage for the Cardinals, only behind DeAndre Hopkins. His 26 catches have him in a three-way tie for most on the team.

There’s no doubt that Kirk will continue to produce for the Cardinals, but he’s always a little more volatile due to the number of weapons this team has. However, he’s a worthy start this week against the Texans.

1. Jakobi Meyers, New England Patriots

Jakobi Meyers leads the Patriots in targets (52), receptions (36), and yards (346), as he’s clearly the No. 1 wideout for this team. With stats like that, Meyers needs to be in your starting lineup every week. He has a plus matchup in Week 7 against the Jets.

Meyers is a solid WR2 play this week and may no longer be a sleeper play if he keeps dominating the Patriots receiving stats as he has been. Start him wherever you can.
