Texans WR Christian Kirk drew the second-most targets in his Week 3 debut for the team. Those eight looks trailed only WR Nico Collins. Kirk managed just 3 receptions for 25 yards, though, in an ugly loss to the Jaguars. The veteran missed the first two games with a hamstring injury. He opened this week with a pair of limited practices but graduated to full participation Friday and carried no injury designation into the game.
Texans WR Christian Kirk (hamstring) is not listed on the final Week 3 injury report. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. Kirk might immediately step in as Houston’s No. 2 WR against the Jaguars this weekend, but we wouldn’t trust him in fantasy lineups in his 2025 debut.
Texans WR Christian Kirk (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. HC Demeco Ryans said yesterday that Kirk is on track to make his 2025 debut vs. the Jaguars this weekend. He can't be trusted in Week 3 fantasy lineups but is certainly worth a roster spot in leagues of 12+ teams.
Texans HC Demeco Ryans said Tuesday that WRs Christian Kirk and Braxton Berrios are "progressing very well" and are expected back for this weekend's game against the Jaguars. Both guys have missed the first two games of the season with hamstring injuries. Kirk was in line to open the year as Houston's No. 2 WR and will probably take over that spot soon considering the team has been slow-playing rookie WRs Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel. Kirk is worth a roster spot in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams, although we wouldn't want to trust him in Week 3 fantasy lineups.
Texans WR Christian Kirk (hamstring) is out for Monday night's game vs. the Buccaneers. He remained sidelined in practice all week, leaving his Week 3 status in serious doubt. Here's how Houston divvied WR routes behind Nico Collins in the opener:
None of those guys can be trusted in Week 2 fantasy lineups.
Texans WR Christian Kirk (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday. That's not a good start for his chances of returning for Monday night's game vs. the Buccaneers. Houston deployed a rotation of Xavier Hutchinson, Justin Watson, Jayden Higgins, and Jaylin Noel behind Nico Collins with Kirk out last week.
Per KPRC's Aaron Wilson, the Houston Texans have elevated WR Jared Wayne from the practice squad for the team's Week 1 opener in Los Angeles.
Texans WR Christian Kirk (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s opener vs. the Rams. He didn’t practice all week, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter suggested on Thursday that Kirk could miss more games. His absence leaves Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel, and Xavier Hutchinson as Houston’s No. 2 through 4 WRs behind Nico Collins. Noel is the most natural replacement for Kirk in the slot, but it’s unclear exactly how snaps will be divvied. We’d try to avoid the situation in Week 1 fantasy lineups, but Higgins and Noel should be stashed in virtually all fantasy leagues.
Texans WR Christian Kirk has a strained hamstring that likely keeps him out of the opener against the Rams for Week 1. He could be out for additional time as the Texans proceed with caution. The Texans list rookie WR Jaylin Noel as Kirk’s backup.
Texans WR Christian Kirk (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. It's the first we've heard of a hamstring injury for him, but his Week 1 status is now up in the air. Kirk was set to operate as Houston's No. 2 WR at least early in the season. His absence would free up opportunities for rookie WRs Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel. We'll update Kirk's status again on Thursday.
Texans’ rookie WR Jayden Higgins has been rotating with Xavier Hutchinson for the third WR spot when Houston is in 11 personnel, according to DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.
The Jaguars are trading WR Christian Kirk to the Texans for a seventh-round pick in 2026, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The compensation's obviously low because the Jags had already made it known they planned to release Kirk. By giving up a late pick in next year's draft, Houston gets the final year of Kirk's existing contract (at $16.5 million) instead of having to compete for him on the open market.
