Houston’s Week 2 outlook hinges on the health of Christian Kirk, with hamstring concerns keeping him out of Friday practice and his Week 2 status uncertain for Monday vs. Tampa Bay. Braxton Berrios and Jake Andrews also missed time, elevating the Texans’ WR room and leaving Nico Collins, Xavier Hutchinson, and rookie Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel as the most likely beneficiaries if Kirk sits. Ed Ingram’s return to full practice bolsters the line, but receiver depth remains a concern as Houston eyes a primetime matchup.

If Kirk misses, Collins could lead targets, with Hutchinson and the rookie duo stepping into significant roles. The Texans may lean on a quick-hitting, pass-friendly script to ease quarterback C.J. Stroud into his second start, while TB’s defense tests the Texans’ growing inexperienced group. Fantasy managers should monitor Kirk’s practice status Saturday for clear Week 2 guidance.

London and Mooney clear for Sunday Night Football at Minnesota after shoulder issues limited them this week. London posted 1,271 yards and 100 receptions last season; Mooney had 992 yards and five touchdowns in 2024. Pearce Jr. and Bowman are questionable; Washington and Agnew are out; Dee Alford returns as the primary returner. Healthy Falcons receivers boost fantasy upside, with London likely to command targets and Mooney offering big-play potential.

Two questions remain: how involved will the Falcons rotate Pearce Jr. and Bowman if they’re limited, and how much does Alford’s return prowess lift the overall field position and scoring chances? In a primetime SNF matchup, London and Mooney sit as top targets with added value from special-teams upside.
