2022 Fantasy Outlook
Kirk enjoyed a breakout of sorts last year with career highs in catches, yards and yards per
target in his fourth and final year with the Cardinals. But the production was largely driven by
availability, as he played all 17 games after injuries limited him to 14 or fewer each previous
year. The 2018 second-round pick was still a backup in most fantasy leagues, averaging 4.5
catches for 57.8 yards on 6.1 targets per game while finding paydirt only five times all season.
The Jaguars believe Kirk, 25, still has room to grow, as they signed him in March to a four-year,
$72 million contract that's been oft-mentioned as the overpay of the offseason. Which isn't to say Kirk is a bad player, but this isn't the first nor second time he's been set up for a breakout, and even last season it didn't really happen despite DeAndre Hopkins missing nearly half the year. Kirk did see more targets in the seven games Hopkins missed, but his YPT dropped a bit (8.4) in accordance with his volume rising (7.7 looks per game). He now heads to Jacksonville, where efficiency has been a problem for nearly every pass catcher who's worn teal and gold in recent years. The hope is that QB Trevor Lawrence and coach Doug Pederson can turn things around for the beleaguered franchise, in which case Kirk would be one of the main beneficiaries for fantasy.

Knee checks out OK
Kirk said after Saturday's divisional-round loss at Kansas City that his left knee "is not feeling great," but it's been determined that its structurally normal, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Kirk missed a portion of the fourth quarter after suffering a knee injury on an incompletion from quarterback Trevor Lawrence, but the wide receiver made a five-yard catch immediately before a Riley Patterson field goal that whittled the score to 27-20 with 25 seconds remaining. Ultimately, Kirk finished with seven receptions (on 14 targets) for 52 yards and one touchdown while adding an 18-yard rush. He'll turn his focus to recovering from the health concern this offseason.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
2018
After an inefficient, injury-plagued 2019, Kirk bounced back somewhat in 2020, with six TDs, three 40-yard catches and a 100-yard game in 14 contests. At 5-11, 200, Kirk has average size and good speed (4.47 40), but he’s playing opposite one of the league’s preeminent target hogs in DeAndre Hopkins. The Cardinals also signed A.J. Green this offseason as the declining veteran replacement for Larry Fitzgerald, and then drafted wideout Rondale Moore in the second round. The other problem for Kirk is the exciting but erratic Kyler Murray, who does much of his damage on the ground. Kirk is only 24, so he’s just now reaching his peak, and Green is far from a lock to stay healthy, but his upside is probably modest.
