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.

RANKS
Three catches in London defeat
Kirk brought in three of six targets for 39 yards in the Jaguars' 35-16 loss to the Bears on Sunday in London.
ANALYSIS
Kirk finished third in receptions, receiving yards and targets for the Jaguars with his lowest totals in the first two categories since Week 2. The veteran wideout still drew an appreciable amount of Trevor Lawrence's attention, however, and Kirk certainly has the ability to bounce back against an inconsistent Patriots defense in a Week 7 matchup at Wembley Stadium.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
2020
2019
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
Might be fit in Pittsburgh
Kirk could be a trade target for the Steelers, Dan Graziano of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Pittsburgh made a big push to try and acquire Brandon Aiyuk this offseason with no success, but the team may not be done trying to add another impact player at wide receiver alongside George Pickens. Kirk could be made available by the Jaguars if they aren't able to turn around an 0-4 start, and his contract runs through 2025, so he wouldn't be just a rental. The Titans' DeAndre Hopkins is another veteran wideout the Steelers could pursue if he becomes available.
