BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: It's not time to abandon ship completely on Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk, but he's barely a viable WR4 play in Week 3 against the Buffalo Bills.
The addition of Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas Jr. has really impacted Kirk's performance this season. His lack of production has been notable.
In Week 1 against Miami, he was targeted four times, catching one pass for 30 yards. Then, in Week 2 against Cleveland, he was targeted three times, catching one pass for a loss of one yard.
#Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence says "we need to get WR Christian Kirk going this week." Says "we have to keep trusting the system," but says they have to get Kirk more involved on Monday.

On the bright side, Kirk played 88% of the team's Week 2 snaps, second among the team's receivers to Davis. So he's on the field, but he's just consistently failed to produce when he's been on the field.
At this point, Kirk is closer to being droppable than he is to living up to preseason expectations, but if you really need a flex play this week, Kirk's technically viable.
