Christian Kirk Out For Week 2

By Jared Smola | Updated on Sun, Sep 14 2025 12:43 AM UTC

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:

Xavier Hutchinson: 68%
Justin Watson: 53%
Jayden Higgins: 41%
Jaylin Noel: 38%

None of those guys can be trusted in Week 2 fantasy lineups.
