Christian Kirk Fantasy

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk caught four of six targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in the loss to Houston on Sunday. It was the second straight week that Kirk led the Jacksonville pass-catchers in fantasy output, after being a complete non-factor in Week 1. With Zay Jones ruled out (Knee), Kirk played 86% of the WR snaps for the Jags, which was the highest on the week. Calvin Ridley was second with 82%. It's another start-worthy performance for the former Cardinal, who now has two consecutive top-25 PPR weekly finishes. Kirk is still going to be a risky play each week, especially if Jones is active, but he's proven that he still belongs in the WR3/flex category. Up next is a matchup with an Atlanta secondary that slot receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown just shredded for over 100 yards.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk takes on the Houston Texans in a divisional Week 3 matchup. After logging one catch in Week 1, Kirk came back to lead the Jaguars in targets (14) against the Chiefs, hauling in 11 passes for 110 yards. However, Kirk still remains a shaky play, especially against the surprisingly decent pass defense of Houston. Predicting the Jags receivers' boom games might be one of the more difficult things to do in fantasy this year. Calvin Ridley remains a must-start, but Kirk fits into the boom-or-bust WR3 category, especially against a team that held him to three receptions for 32 yards over two games last season.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk bounced back against the Chiefs with 11 catches for 110 yards. After a near-dud performance to begin the year, Kirk rewarded managers who stayed loyal to him, putting up 21.96 PPR points on the day. The ex-Cardinal was the only reliable option for the Jaguars offense the entire game, accounting for half of quarterback Trevor Lawrence's 22 completions. His 14 targets were also second-most across the entire league in Week 2. With all of the mouths to feed in Duval, these up-and-down performances could be the norm for some of the Jaguars offense pieces but this performance puts Kirk back on the WR3/flex option radar. He remains a high-risk, high-reward play.
