BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: After two absolutely unstartable games to begin the 2024 season, Jacksonville Jaguars top wideout Christian Kirk has hit his stride, producing two 15.9 and 19.1 PPR fantasy points in his last two games, cementing himself as a solid WR2 in fantasy football again. He's been the 15th-highest-scoring WR over the past two weeks.
He as led the Jags in targets with 22 over the past two contests. He has thrived against man coverage, being very difficult to cover one-on-one, as he has through his whole career. Kirk is a great route runner and passes the most common litmus test of what makes a good NFL receiver.
Wide receivers who have created the most separation (every route is charted) vs. man coverage in 2024:

1. Christian Kirk
2. Marvin Harrison Jr.
3. Rome Odunze
4. Mike Evans
5. Brian Thomas Jr.
6. Brandon Aiyuk
7. Elijah Moore… pic.twitter.com/NDvF0rl2RE— Jacob Gibbs (@jagibbs_23) October 2, 2024
There isn't much thought to put into it. The first two games were an aberration, and the coaching staff may be on their way out, but QB Trevor Lawrence's connection with Kirk is undeniable, and he's a huge part of the offense. He now has new rookie receiver Brian Thomas Jr. to draw away defensive attention and coverage as well.
The two have worked well together so far. Expect more of the same that we saw last season before Christian went down with injury, and lock him into your starting lineups. This isn't something you should overthink.

BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens (unfortunately) wide receiver Diontae Johnson is not worth starting in Week 11.
