It's safe to say that Christian Kirk's contract with the Jaguars in 2022 raised the eyebrows of the majority of the NFL community. Someone who was never really a WR1 received a contract that included a whopping $37 million guaranteed. However, Kirk proved his worth as he finished with career highs in receptions (84), yards (1,108), touchdowns (8) and was 11th among wide receivers in fantasy points.
With Calvin Ridley joining the mix, it's currently uncertain who will be the Jaguars' most-targeted receiver, but if we compare the last few years (instead of each of Ridley and Kirk's last seasons), the former Falcon has the edge. Kirk does have familiarity with Doug Pederson's system which could give him an advantage. As we get into August, I'd expect the two top-30 receivers to be drafted in the mid-to-low WR2 range as fantasy owners weigh Kirk's career year in 2022 and Trevor's love for spreading the ball around.

Trevor Lawrence In, Christian Kirk Out for Week 18 Jagaurs won't have key receiver By: Mike Krueger | Sun Jan 7, 11:30 am
| | After a pregame throwing session Trevor Lawrence is expected to play per source. He’s going to tough it out. Christian Kirk isn’t going to play today. He’s made a remarkable recovery thus far, but not there just yet. (James Palmer on X)
FFToday's Take: Jacksonville's quarterback is good to go after throwing well in pre-game warmup. However, Lawrence will be without Christian Kirk who as activated off IR yesterday but still isn't healthy enough to play. Calvin Ridley, Zay Jones and TE Evan Engram will be the top receiving options for Jacksonville today.
| Jaguars activate Christian Kirk off Injured Reserve Eligible to play in Week 18 By: Mike Krueger | Sat Jan 6, 2:35 pm
| | Jaguars activated WR Christian Kirk from off injured reserve to play Sunday at Tennessee. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Kirk has made a fairly quick return from core muscles surgery and we don't have any clear indication on how much he will play this week. He's extremely cheap in DFS circles making for a nice salary saver. Zay Jones (hamstring) is also expected to play.
| Trevor Lawrence a gametime decision for Week 18 Shoulder injury By: Mike Krueger | Fri Jan 5, 11:13 am
| | #Jaguars coach Doug Pederson told reporters that QB Trevor Lawrence will be questionable for Sunday and that the decision could go right up to game-time. He'll ramp up and try to throw more today. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: Lawrence has been battling a shoulder injury that kept him out last week. The Jaguars are in a must-win situation this week so if he's close, it's likely he'll suit up against the Titans. Christian Kirk (core) has been practicing this week and will need to be taken off IR on Saturday in order to have a chance to play.
