Christian Kirk A Solid Flex Play In Week 1
4 years agoArizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk should be in line for a solid role in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers. The team's No. 1 receiver DeAndre Hopkins may end up with the bulk of the targets, but he's likely to be covered by the 49ers' top cornerback Richard Sherman, while Kirk could have a more favorable matchup. Larry Fitzgerald of course factors into the target-share heavily as well, but he'll mostly be looked to in short routes while Kirk will receive the more attractive, deeper targets from Kyler Murray. Start Kirk as a WR3 or flex and expect him to get around six or seven targets with a chance to break a few big plays.
