BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk was outstanding in his first season with the franchise in 2022. However, he had lower expectations this year after the team acquired Calvin Ridley. Yet, the former Texas A&M star has still been productive for fantasy players. He is the WR28 for the season, averaging 10.8 half-point PPR fantasy points per game.
Kirk had an awful Week 1, totaling one reception on three targets for nine receiving yards. While fantasy players panicked, the star wide receiver has been solid since that contest. He has 56 receptions on 84 targets for 761 receiving yards and three touchdowns this year.
Furthermore, the veteran wide receiver has scored double-digit fantasy points in all but two games since Week 1, including 16 or more twice. Kirk has seen at least six targets in all but one game since the opening weekend contest against the Indianapolis Colts.
More importantly, he has a solid matchup tonight against the Cincinnati Bengals. They have surrendered 187.5 receiving yards, one touchdown, and 31.8 fantasy points per game to wide receivers over the past month. Kirk is a plug-and-play WR2 for the rest of the season.
