Christian Kirk set career highs across the board in 2022 as the WR18 in fantasy points per game. He gobbled up a 23.2% target share (24th) with the 15th-best raw target volume among wide receivers. Kirk also ranked 12th in deep targets, fifth in red-zone looks, and 22nd in yards per route run. Kirk was 21st in PFF slot receiving grade with 76.7% of his target volume coming via the slot (minimum 15 slot targets). With Calvin Ridley entering the target pecking order conversation in Jacksonville, Kirk profiles as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3.Rashod Bateman looked like a receiver on his way to a breakout campaign before his season was derailed by a foot sprain in Week 4 and ultimately ended in Week 8 with a LisFranc injury. In Weeks 1-3, he was the WR34 in fantasy points per game with an 18.8% target share, a 30.3% air yard share, and 3.14 yards per route run. Bateman was also only a 72.7% route per dropback player in that stretch. Bateman's talent is real, but he needs his health to comply. This could be a breaking point season. The team signed Odell Beckham Jr. and drafted Zay Flowers in the first round of the NFL Draft. This will be the best collection of weapons Lamar Jackson has ever had, but that also means it's the most competition for targets Bateman has dealt with during his time in Baltimore. Bateman has the talent to still emerge as the number one receiver in this offense and compete weekly for the team lead in targets with Mark Andrews. He's a WR3/4 that could easily finish as a WR2.

 5/8: Odell and now Zay Flowers have joined. While it's nice to have Lamar & a pass-happier coordinator join, Bateman now could be 4th on the targets totem pole (Andrews, Flowers, OBJ), giving him a tough outlook for 2023 3/7: Should benefit from pass-happier Ravens attack under Monken (although discord with him + DeCosta isn't a great look right now)
Derek Lofland
FantasyPros
Kirk had a very good first season with the Jaguars, finishing with 78 receptions for 1,009 yards and 7 TDs in the 2022 fantasy season. Kirk should be the lead receiver on an offense on the ascent in 2023, making him a high-end WR2.
