Christian Kirk's Production Expected To Take A Dip
1 year agoESPN's Dan Graziano expects Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk's production in 2023 to take a dip, even if the offense as a whole improves. Calvin Ridley, who missed all of 2022 due to suspension, has been the talk of Jaguars camp this summer and is a legitimate No. 1 outside receiver who has quickly developed a rapport with quarterback Trevor Lawrence. With Ridley and Zay Jones on the outside, Kirk will likely be confined to the slot more than he was last year. Most of his routes, targets, catches and yards and 50% of his touchdowns came while working outside. The 26-year-old can still be a productive player from the slot, but it's unlikely he'll be anywhere close to the top-25 fantasy wideout he was in 2022. Don't reach for Kirk in fantasy drafts this weekend.
