Kirk out with hamstring, second straight inactive; Texans’ WR room thins further, elevating other pass-game options and depth receivers in Week 2.

Kirk is listed as a Texans WR (injury/unclear status). Expect him to be a key target in Houston’s passing game if healthy, providing a steady option in the underneath and short-area routes.

Kirk’s absence opens volume for Nico Collins and others, increasing the Texans’ reliance on Collins’ outside- and red-zone opportunities. The Week 2 matchup against Tampa Bay tests Houston’s aerial plan without one of its top targets.

Kirk is sidelined with a hamstring injury, missing a second straight game. His absence narrows Houston’s high-volume targets and increases the burden on remaining receivers and backs.

Kirk's hamstring sidelined him again, delaying his Texans debut after a trade from Jacksonville. His absence elevates Collins and Hutchinson in Week 2 and potentially Week 3, where a return against his former Jaguars could reshape Houston’s passing game and fantasy upside.
