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.

Rashod Bateman - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Bateman looked solid in training camp, though then again, so do players like WR Elijah Moore, and they end up not doing much in real games. […]
Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking. In the absence of WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), he served as the team's WR2, and caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 19.9 PPR fantasy points. He played 91 percent […]
Deebo Samuel Sr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason. Then 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) had surgery to correct his PCL issues and was ruled out for the […]
Caleb Douglas- Start or Sit?
Baller Move: Bench in standard leagues, mid-end FLEX in deeper leagues Positional Value: WR4 Analysis: One of the big mysteries in fantasy football this offseason was how the Miami Dolphins’ offense would look in 2026. Miami signed quarterback Malik Willis to a big contract in free agency, but his pass-catching group was filled with unproven […]
