2020 Receiving Projections
2020 Fantasy Outlook
In signing with the Panthers this offseason, Kirkwood reunited with his college coach, Matt Rhule. The pair spent time together at Temple before Kirkwood joined the Saints in his 2018 rookie season. That campaign saw him catch 13 of 21 targets for 209 yards and two touchdowns, but he was limited to just one appearance last year while nursing a hamstring injury. The 25-year-old will aim to get back on track in his new yet familiar surroundings, but with options like Christian McCaffrey, D.J. Moore, Robby Anderson and Curtis Samuel, among others, also around, Kirkwood appears hard-pressed to carve out a very meaningful offensive role this season. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Existing familiarity in Carolina
Kirkwood (hamstring) should benefit from his existing familiarity with Panthers wide receiver coach Frisman Jackson, fellow wideout Robby Anderson and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater as he heads into his first season with Carolina, Myles Simmons of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Kirkwood spent the past two seasons in New Orleans alongside Bridgewater, while Jackson was his position coach for two of his collegiate seasons at Temple, where he shared a receiver room with Anderson. The 26-year-old was limited to only one game last year due to the hamstring issue before signing with the Panthers this offseason. Now healthy, Kirkwood will compete with Seth Roberts and Pharoh Cooper for the No. 4 spot on the depth chart in camp.

2019 Fantasy Outlook
Kirkwood was unable to break training camp with the Saints, but the undrafted rookie earned a callup from the practice squad in November and immediately secured a spot in the team's receiver rotation. He logged double-digit snaps in the final eight regular-season contests and a season-high 53 in the Saints' divisional-round win over the Eagles, hauling in 15 of 23 targets for 217 yards and three scores over that span. A calf issue forced him out of the NFC Championship Game loss to the Rams, but Kirkwood likely did enough before that to enter 2019 as the fourth man on the depth chart. It would probably take an injury to one of the wideouts ahead of him for Kirkwood to make a consistent fantasy impact during the upcoming campaign, but he's at least aided by the fact that New Orleans made no major additions to their receiver room during the offseason.
