2024 Season Outlooks

Kirk has an opportunity to run away with the Jaguars' WR1 role in 2024 after playing second fiddle to Calvin Ridley at times in 2023. Before his injury, Kirk was the WR19 in Fantasy points per game and that number should rise with an increase in target share. He'll have to compete with Bills castoff Gabe Davis and rookie Brian Thomas for targets, but Kirk is the only receiver of the three with a built-in rapport with QB Trevor Lawrence. Kirk also occupies the coveted slot role in Doug Pederson's offense. Kirk makes for an excellent target in the Rounds 5-6 range of your drafts.

A return to the top of the depth chart in Jacksonville could define Kirk's 2024. Calvin Ridley's arrival in Jacksonville last season saw Kirk assume a smaller share of the passing market, resulting in per-game production in the WR3 and flex tier among receivers. A core injury that required surgery and an IR stint also slowed his production. This marked a decline from Kirk's surprisingly strong WR2 finish in his 2022 debut season with the team. Yet with Ridley off to the rival Titans and the arrival of lower-volume field-stretcher Gabe Davis and rookie Brian Thomas Jr., Kirk has a realistic path to pace the depth chart in opportunities as a top option for Trevor Lawrence. Consider Kirk as a flex.
