Christian Kirk Week 4 Outlook - Steelers at Texans

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Fri, Sep 29th 2023, 9:05pm EDT

Kirk will be a starter in two wide receiver sets this week with Zay Jones out. Kirk has seen a 19.0% Target share and a 21.8% air yard share. Last season, in the one game Jones missed, Kirk played 48.1% of his snaps in the slot (75.5% overall last year) as he ran more from the perimeter. When he is on the perimeter, he will play more on A.J. Terrell's side, but look for the Jaguars to either play him inside when they move to 11 personnel or go 11 personnel heavy so Kirk can matchup with Alford for most of the day. They could just sacrifice Jamal Agnew or Tim Jones to Terrell all day so Kirk and Ridley can eat. If Lawrence has a strong day (he will), Ridley and Kirk will lead the way.
