BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk had an excellent first year with the team in 2022. However, many expected his production to take a hit with the arrival of Calvin Ridley. While he hasn’t been a plug-and-play WR1 like last season, Kirk has been a productive fantasy football wide receiver.
The former Texas A&M star is the WR25 for the year, averaging 10.8 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Kirk has 52 receptions on 77 targets for 672 receiving yards and three touchdowns this season. More importantly, he has scored 11.4 or more fantasy points in 77.8% of the games since Week 1.
Unfortunately, the veteran wide receiver had a disappointing performance against the Tennessee Titans last week, totaling three receptions on six targets for 48 receiving yards and 6.3 fantasy points in the blowout win. However, he should be better on Sunday against the Houston Texans.
Houston has struggled to slow down wide receivers lately. Over the past two weeks, they have given up 218.5 receiving yards, 1.5 touchdowns, and 36.9 fantasy points per game to the position. More importantly, Kirk has played well against the division rivals. He had four receptions on six targets for 54 receiving yards, a touchdown, and 13.4 fantasy points in the Week 3 matchup against the Texans this year.
