The Houston Texans will host the Arizona Cardinals in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Christian Kirk.
Is Christian Kirk Playing in Week 15?
Kirk is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Texans’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Kirk in Week 15?
I think the Texans want Kirk to be what Keenan Allen is to the Chargers: a veteran receiver who shows up for the critical downs/moments.
I’m not starting Allen with confidence, and he’s better at the role, so I’m certainly not interested in Kirk for the remainder of this season.
The 29-year-old has failed to catch multiple passes in four of his past five games and with the emergence of Jayden Higgins, there really is no motivation for this team to prioritize Kirk’s involvement.
If he’s sitting at the end of your bench for some reason, that roster spot is better off spent on a player that is one injury away from a significant role or even a D/ST with a specific matchup you like over the next few weeks.
