Christian Kirk Ruled Out for Week 8

Friday, October 24, 6:06 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Unsurprisingly, Kirk will sit out this weekend after not practicing all week. It has been an injury plagued season for Kirk who has only managed to play in three games. The Texans will also be without Nico Collins (concussion), which will leave them shorthanded on offense. The expectation is that Xavier Hutchinson, Jayden Higgins, and Jaylin Noel will be asked to step up. Between the three, Noel offers the most upside after hauling in four receptions for 77 yards last week.

Matthew Golden Officially Active for Sunday Night Football

Sunday, October 26, 7:23 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (hip) is officially active for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had been listed as questionable after logging a limited practice on Friday. The rookie has ranked as the overall WR59 in PPR leagues this season with 18 catches for 249 yards, and he's still looking for his first career touchdown. Golden should deliver another top-60 finish on Sunday night, but it's worth noting that he does face added competition this week with Romeo Doubs still healthy and Christian Watson (knee) on track to make his season debut.
