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
Uninvolved again
Kirk recorded one catch on three targets for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 18-13 loss to the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Kirk was targeted less than Gabe Davis, Brenton Strange and Brian Thomas, and he now has only two receptions for 29 yards through two games. His slow start can be blamed at least in part on Jacksonville's sluggish offensive performances, as the team mustered only 81 yards in the first half and was then reliant on deep shots to move the ball in the second quarter. Kirk has played a key role for the Jaguars' offense in each of the last two years, so it would be a surprise to not see him bounce back, though he will be tough to trust heading into a Week 3 matchup against Buffalo.

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
Chip on shoulder for 2024
Kirk, who missed the final five games of the regular season due to a core muscle injury, is ready to be the Jaguars' top wide receiver after Calvin Ridley signed with the Titans in free agency, Christian Gonzalez of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
In his first season with Jacksonville in 2022, Kirk proved why he was deserving of the four-year, $72 million contract he signed, finishing the season with 84 catches on 133 targets for 1,108 yards and eight touchdowns, all of which were career highs. Kirk noted after OTAs on Monday that getting through his injuries during the offseason was "mentally challenging," but he's entering the upcoming season with "a chip on my shoulder." He'll lead a Jaguars wideout group that added Gabe Davis and Devin Duvernay in free agency and Brian Thomas in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
