BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: It feels to me like Christian Kirk just landed in the NFL a season ago, yet the truth is that Kirk is playing his fourth campaign as a pro in 2021. Last year seemed to be the true breakout season for Kirk leading up to W10, but things flipped once we hit double digits on the schedule. From kickoff to W9 (included) Kirk scored 98.3 PPR points; from W10 to W16 he could only get 47.1 while topping 9 PPR points just once. Now, in 2021, things have started very much in the same vein as they did last season for Kirk. Can he finally keep it up?
Kirk has been a 10-ish PPR-point averager for his three-year career and he's never finished above WR38, never making it into the WR3 realm. That could change this season if Kyler Murray plays to the level he showcased Sunday (QB1 overall with 34.6 FP) and Kirk can put up his W1 line on a steady basis: 5 targets, 5 receptions, 70 yards, and 2 touchdowns adorned it yesterday, something to be very excited about.
Obviously, DeAndre Hopkins is the head honcho among receivers in Arizona. But other than Nuk, there is not much clarity at the position. Kirk only played 37 offensive snaps (54%) but he gathered 15% of all targets and only fewer than Hopkins and A.J. Green (2-of-6, 25 yards). Kirk should stay out there and even though Rondale Moore pretty much mimicked his performance on Sunday, odds are Green ends falling off and opening the door for Kirk to get a larger target share as the season progresses. Christian Kirk is a rather boom/bust player and he won't be scoring touchdowns most days, but he's not an unreasonable addition to bulk up your bench and use on spot starts as a FLEX throughout the year.
