2023 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Finds end zone in Week 3 loss
Kirk secured four of six targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 37-17 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Kirk finished tied for second on Jacksonville in receptions while also finishing as the runner-up in receiving yards. He was on the receiving end of Trevor Lawrence's only touchdown toss, recording a 26-yard scoring grab early in the final period. Kirk didn't see any boost in volume despite the absence of Zay Jones (knee), but his first trip to the end zone this season made it two straight strong fantasy efforts following his 11-110 line in Week 2. Kirk will aim to keep the momentum going overseas in a Week 4 matchup against the Falcons in London.

2019
2018
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.
