Christian Kirk quietly had a productive season in 2023. In 11 healthy games, posted 761 receiving yards, a 17-game pace of 1,176 yards. He was also pacing to finish as fantasy's WR22 if he stayed healthy. A torn abdominal muscle limited him to just 12 games played.
Kirk did this while sharing the field with Calvin Ridley. He had a 20.8 percent target share alongside Ridley, but it would not be shocking to see Kirk push for the 25 percent threshold this year as Ridley is no longer in Jacksonville. Given his lack of red zone usage, it's hard to see Kirk finishing as a top-15 WR. But, he should be productive as Jacksonville's top target earner. Although he is not the league-winning archetype, he seems to be a safe bet to pay off the price of WR30.

 Christian Kirk dealing with mild calf injury
Will be held out of preseason game Week 2
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Aug 15, 9:38 am
|  | Jaguars WR Christian Kirk has a mild calf injury that has kept him out of joint practices vs. Bucs + Saturday’s preseason game, per HC Doug Pederson. He will be re-evaluated next week.
Pederson said QB Trevor Lawrence won't play Sat. Happy with joint practice reps this week. (Cameron Wolfe on X)
FFToday's Take: This will be something to monitor next week. If Kirk is able to back on the field, then there's no need panic about his fantasy value. More meaningful reps incoming for rookie Brian Thomas Jr., Gabe Davis and Parker Washington in the meantime.
