Christian Kirk Poised for Big Game vs. Patriots in Divisional Round

Houston Texans slot receiver Christian Kirk is projected to have a solid outing in the AFC Divisional Round against the New England Patriots, with forecasts suggesting he'll surpass 38.5 receiving yards. With Nico Collins in concussion protocol, Kirk could see an uptick in targets, building on his 8-catch, 144-yard performance last week. He'll face a Patriots defense ranked 25th in pass DVOA and holds a favorable matchup against their slot corner.
