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.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed is reportedly available for trade ahead of the deadline. The Saints don't appear willing to move Chris Olave, but Shaheed can be moved for the right price. Coming into Week 8, Shaheed has 30 receptions for 356 receiving yards with two touchdowns. The 27-year-old is set to be a free agent after this season. He's not a No.1 wideout, but could still help a contending organization in need of a wideout. His fantasy value would likely rise on a better offense.
