Christian Kirk 2025 Fantasy Preview
| Christian Kirk | WR - Houston Texans | Bye:6 |
| Age: 28 | HT: 5-11 | WT: 200 |
2024: Kirk missed much of the 2024 regular season after sustaining a broken collarbone in October, finishing the year with 27 catches for 379 yards and one touchdown on 47 targets. He operated mostly from the slot and ranked 43rd out of 116 qualifying wideouts in ESPN’s open score, which measures a player’s ability to separate from defenders.
What’s changed: The Texans acquired Kirk from the Jaguars. They parted ways with Stefon Diggs and will be without Tank Dell (knee) in 2025. The team also drafted WR Jaylin Noel and WR Jayden Higgins out of Iowa State.
Outlook: Kirk during offseason practices has profiled as C.J. Stroud’s “safety blanket,” according to Texans beat writers. Kirk should function as the primary slot guy in Houston’s balanced offense. He could, however, face competition for slot routes from rookie Noel, who excelled as a slot receiver at Iowa State before being taken in the third round of the 2025 draft. Kirk played well ahead of Houston’s rookie wideouts in offseason practices, per beat writers. Kirk could be a viable WR3 option in 12-team leagues as Stroud’s No. 2 target.
