Christian Kirk Fantasy

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk, the former second-round pick out of Texas A&M in 2018, knows that the addition of stud wideout DeAndre Hopkins will mean that opposing defenses will focus less on him. Kirk missed the final three games of 2019 due to injury and finished with 68 catches for 709 yards and three touchdowns. He should see a lot more single coverage, but the fact remains that he'll see fewer consistent targets with both Hopkins and Larry Fitzgerald demanding looks from quarterback Kyler Murray. The 23-year-old could have some big games if teams focus all their attention on Nuk, but Kirk's fantasy stock is down entering the 2020 season.

The Cleveland Browns released veteran linebacker Christian Kirksey on Tuesday. The team had been trying to restructure his deal, which called for him to earn $7.75 million in 2020. Apparently the two sides could not come to an agreement, so the six-year linebacker will be free to sign with another team. Kirksey was regarded as a team leader but he struggled to stay on the field the past two seasons, missing 23 of 36 possible games. In all, Kirksey notched 484 tackles, 11.5 sacks, and two interceptions in his Cleveland career.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk ended his season on a stronger note with seven catches for 60 yards in Week 17. Kirk showed some flashes in his second year with 68 catches for 709 yards and three touchdowns. An ankle injury cost him three games or he could have flirted with 1,000 yards. He's an up-and-comer, and he'll have some upside in next year's drafts if the team can supplement the offense. Kirk will be a WR4 or a low-end WR3 in fantasy drafts next season.
