Christian Kirk arrives in Houston as the team's anticipated WR2, replacing the departed Diggs. Kirk had a few solid seasons while in Jacksonville, including his 84-catch, 1,100-yard, eight-TD campaign of 2022. But he was 26 years old then. He turns 29 in November, meaning we have probably already seen the best of Kirk. Houston concluded last season with the 11th most pass attempts, so there should be chances for Kirk to show flashes of productivity. But I wouldn't expect consistency from him. He can serve as a WR4 with spot duty startability due to byes and injuries, but he should not be trusted on a regular basis.

Nico Collins will be a healthy scratch in Week 18
Texans will rest their star receiver
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Jan 4, 9:17 am
|  | Veteran wide receiver Nico Collins won’t play in this one today.
A team source tells me the Texans want to rest their veteran wide receiver ahead of the playoffs.
Expect a lot of action for their two rookies. Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel. Last week, each scored on the first two opening drives. A 75 and 43 yard TD for each.
They will face a Colts defense without Sauce Gardner and a passing defense allowing 250 yds in the air. (Jane Slater on X)
FFToday's Take: Week 18 strikes again. The Texans have enough depth at receiver with Higgins, Noel, Xavier Hutchinson, and Christian Kirk that they can safely rest Nico and likely handle the Colts with Riley Leonard at quarterback. Higgins and Noel are Flex options for Week 18.
