Houston Texans’ Christian Kirksey Fantasy: LB NFL Defensive Data, Stats & Speculations 2022

Player Outlook

After a long spell with the Cleveland Browns and a short stint with the Green Bay Packers, Christian Kirksey found home with the Houston Texans, who signed him on a one-year contract worth up to $4.5 million. Last season, Kirksey had one of his best individual seasons since joining the NFL in 2014. The move seems to have worked well for both parties because not only is Kirksey performing at an incredibly high level, but he was also one of their best defensive players in 2021.

In ’21, Kirksey finished with 13 games played (12 starts), and he had the following totals: 93 total tackles, 55 solo tackles, six tackles for loss, two QB hits, one interception, eight passes defended, and two fumble recoveries. It was the first time since the 2017 season that Kirksey had more than 90 tackles in a season.
