Acquiring Christian Kirk makes a ton of sense for the injury ravaged Texans receiving core, currently the only returning pass catcher of note in 2025 is Nico Collins. C.J. Stroud had a down year last season – the aforementioned injuries, o-line issues and a case of the yips were major contributors, and now the Texans front office are wisely looking to support their franchise QB every way they can.

We know what Christian Kirk is at this point, a steady and reliable complimentary receiver. He will pair well with Nico Collins immediately and still leave the Texans room (at least roster construction wise) for Stefon Diggs and/or drafting an interesting pass catcher this year. Word on the street has that Diggs is drawing a ton of interest from other teams due to the lack of options in free agency and relatively weak draft class, so re-signing him sounds like a long shot. Fantasy wise its reasonable to expect Kirk to perform at his career average Wide Receiver 3 range: 65 catches for 800 yards and a handful of touchdowns. This is better news for CJ Stroud and Nico Collins than it is for Kirk. Also, wheels up for whoever the Jaguars draft on day 2 come April!
