Jontre Kirklin Fantasy Stats

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jontre Kirklin acted as the alpha receiver while fighting for a roster spot in the NFL's 2023 preseason finale. Kirklin was targeted 10 times, grabbing five receptions for 63 yards. The former XFL star is a long-shot to make the initial 53-man roster, but could be an interesting practice squad addition for New Orleans. He will be competing with Keith Kirkwood, Tre'Quan Smith, Shaquan Davis, and Lynn Bowden to make the roster as a fifth or sixth receiver. Kirklin will be a name to watch as Tuesday's roster cutdown day looms.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jontre Kirklin flashed upside in the preseason victory over the Chargers, grabbing all three targets for 59 yards. Kirklin was a star last season in the XFL for the Houston Roughnecks, where he scored four touchdowns in four weeks prior to a season-ending injury. While making the roster is a longshot considering he has to beat out Shaquan Davis, Lynn Bowden, Tre'Quan Smith, Keith Kirkwood, and Bryan Edwards for the WR5 spot, the former LSU wideout could be a practice squad candidate for New Orleans.
