Christian Kirk fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 2 (2024). Should you start or sit Christian Kirk for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3
ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk is a low-end WR3 option in Week 2 against a Cleveland Browns defense that struggled to slow down the Cowboys in Week 1. It's possible we see a bounce-back effort from the defense in Week 2, but Jacksonville's passing attack should still be able to do some damage.
The issue for Jacksonville is that they have a lot of weapons, which is good for the team's upside in real life but bad for calculating fantasy value on a consistent basis. For example, Kirk has been a strong option in Jacksonville over his first two seasons with the team, but in Week 1 this season he was unusually quiet.

In the team's 20-17 loss to Miami, Kirk was targeted four times, but only brought in one pass for 30 yards. He played 72% of the team's snaps and ran routes on most of his plays, but he couldn't put anything together.
If we have a few more games like this, we'll downgrade Kirk, but he should see his usage and production increase based on his playing time and his familiarity with quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
