2024 Fantasy Outlook
Kirk's second season in Jacksonville wasn't as successful as his first, even though his catch rate rose by 4.1 percentage points (67.1) and his YPT by a full yard (9.3) between 2022 and 2023. His per-game production was nearly identical (4.8 catches for 65.6) apart from dropping from eight touchdowns in 17 games to three TDs in 12. Kirk was actually on pace to top his 2022 numbers for catches and yards until a hernia/groin injury on the first snap of a Week 13 loss to Cincinnati ended his season prematurely. Apart from the decrease in TDs, he wasn't really impacted by Calvin Ridley's presence, with Kirk's target rise going from 22.0 percent in 2022 to 22.5 percent in 2023 and his YPRR rising even more (1.83 to 2.08). While those numbers aren't quite at the level of a true No. 1 receiver, Kirk should remain productive in his age-27 season ahead, possibly even getting a boost from the Jags swapping out Ridley for Gabe Davis and first-round pick Brian Thomas. The rookie and the former Bill still give defenses something to think about -- especially downfield -- but neither is as much of a threat as Ridley to handle a large target share. In any case, Kirk had 10 more catches and 124 more yards than Ridley at the time of his season-ending injury last year. Kirk might have made it back on the field if Jacksonville had gone on a playoff run, and there's been no indication the groin/hernia surgery will impact his preparation this offseason.

Moves to injured reserve
The Jaguars placed Kirk (collarbone) on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Kirk already has been ruled out for the season following the broken left collarbone that he suffered last Sunday against the Packers, so this transaction is merely a procedural move. He'll join fellow WRs Devin Duvernay (lower body) and David White (knee) on IR, while Brian Thomas (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) are questionable for Sunday's game at Philadelphia, and Parker Washington, Tim Jones and practice-squad elevations Elijah Cooks and Austin Trammell are the healthy options at the position for Week 9.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022

2018
Kirk made good on a four-year, $72 million contract that was commonly criticized as an overpay last spring. He played all 17 games and set career highs for catches (84), targets (133), receiving yards (1,108) and TDs (eight), helping QB Trevor Lawrence rebound from a disastrous rookie campaign with a highly promising second season. Lawrence could take another step forward this year, but it won't necessarily aid Kirk's numbers if one of the main contributors is new wideout Calvin Ridley, who last played in October 2021 due to mental health struggles and a gambling suspension. Ridley cleared 1,300 yards in his last full season, and between him, Kirk, Zay Jones and TE Evan Engram, the Jags appear to have a well-rounded collection of weapons. Still, it isn't totally out of the question for Kirk to match or approach last year's numbers, even if he'll have a tough time clearing 130 targets again and will need to do it with improved efficiency.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trade market heating up?
Kirk is reportedly becoming a hot commodity on the trade market, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran wideout is currently plying his trade on a 2-5 Jaguars team that could be headed to another non-playoff season. The fact Kirk presents as appealing to contending teams isn't surprising, considering he's a proven wideout with four 700-plus yard seasons on his resume, including one 1,000-yard campaign. Kirk is still just 27 years old, making him a potentially seamless fit for a team needing a reliable possession option.
