BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 25% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: In the first half of his rookie year, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk has 31 receptions for 410 yards and two TD. By comparison, teammate Larry Fitzgerald had 31 receptions for 463 yards and three TD in the first eight games of his career. He's got a loooong way to go before approaching Larry Legend status but it's a promising start for Kirk, who stands four inches shorter but has more straight-ahead speed.
The main difference fantasy owners need to be aware of is the fact Kirk is available in three-quarters of leagues whereas Fitzgerald is taken in three-quarters of all leagues. Kirk is outproducing Fitzgerald this season and could keep developing his rapport with Josh Rosen to become the true WR1 on the Cardinals. For Week 10, Kirk has a good chance to see plentiful targets, as the Cards are sure to be playing catch-up with the Chiefs. He should be a preferred streamer in all formats.
