Trends

"Kirk was traded to Houston after spending his first seven NFL seasons in Arizona and Jacksonville. He peaked in 2022 when he posted career-high marks across the board and finished 18th among WRs in fantasy PPG, but that marks his only career top-30 season. Last season, he missed nine games and, while he did have a few solid outings (12-plus points three weeks in a row), he averaged a career-low 8.9 PPG on the season. With Tank Dell (knee) in doubt for 2025, Kirk will compete with rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel for No. 2 receiver duties opposite Nico Collins, and he figures to work as the team's primary slot receiver. There's not much upside here (he's cleared six TDs once in his career), so Kirk should be viewed as no more than a late-round pick."

"Kirk had the third-most snaps (39) among Houston's wideouts, finishing behind Jayden Higgins (55) and Xavier Hutchinson (54) while Nico Collins was a healthy inactive. A charitable view of that usage might be that a playoff-bound Houston team was protecting a veteran they'll need in the postseason, but Kirk's marginalization began several weeks ago. He had the fourth-highest snap share at WR (44.7 percent) during the regular season but just 14 receptions on 28 targets over the final nine games, as he found himself competing with rookie Jaylin Noel for work in the slot."

Trends

"Sanders is headed into his second NFL season following a solid rookie campaign in which he played 55% of Carolina's offensive snaps. He flashed a bit while playing an expanded role when Tommy Tremble was sidelined for four games near midseason (5.0 targets and 10.9 fantasy points per game), but the rookie was limited to a situational role in the 11 games Tremble was active (2.0 targets and 2.6 PPG). Sanders will be a candidate for more work in his second season, but he's still very young (22) and will continue to share work with Tremble. The 2024 fourth-round pick is only worth a late flier in deeper leagues."

"Based on Canales' comments, Sanders almost assuredly will miss a Week 18 matchup with the Buccaneers, the winner of whom will take the NFC South. In reality, though, Sanders' 2025 season likely is over, even if the Panthers were to make a deep playoff run. For as long as Sanders is sidelined and Carolina's campaign remains alive, Tommy Tremble, Mitchell Evans and James Mitchell will be the tight ends available to the offense."

"Hollins was already ruled out for Week 17 action, but the wideout's placement on IR now means that he won't play in the team's regular-season finale, and he wouldn't be eligible to return to action in the postseason unless the Patriots make a deep run. In Hollins' looming absence, rookie Kyle Williams figures to see added WR snaps going forward."
