Who Should I Start? Christian Kirk or Marvin Mims Jr.

Friday, March 14, 1:24 PM

The Houston Texans restructured the contract of new wide receiver Christian Kirk on Friday to lower his salary-cap figure for the 2025 season, league sources told KPRC's Aaron Wilson. Kirk was originally due a $15.5 million base salary that was converted into a $14 million signing bonus while lowering his base salary to the league minimum of $1.17 million. The move creates around $12 million in salary-cap savings for the Texans. Houston had already restructured the contracts for receiver Nico Collins and linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, and they are expected to do more restructures to Denico Autry's and Danielle Hunter's contracts. The 28-year-old Kirk ended last year on Injured Reserve due to a broken collarbone but was acquired in a trade with the Jaguars to provide the Texans with a No. 2 wideout behind Nico Collins. With Tank Dell (knee) potentially missing all of 2025, Kirk has a clear path to WR3 value in fantasy in his new home if he's healthy.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. had a quiet showing during their wild-card loss to the Buffalo Bills, as he caught just two of his four targets for a mere 12 yards. He also added one yard on two rushing attempts. The Broncos offense has trouble finding their footing after the first quarter, hindering Mims' output. His four targets were the second-most on the team. This was a disappointing showing for the sophomore wideout as he began to enjoy a late-season breakout. Over the final five games, Mims averaged a strong 17.5 PPR points per game with 68.2 yards per game. Over the final two weeks of the regular season, Mims tallied four touchdowns and 77.0 yards per game. The Oklahoma product will look to find more consistency as he enters his third professional season.
