Christian Kirk quietly had a productive season in 2023. In 11 healthy games, posted 761 receiving yards, a 17-game pace of 1,176 yards. He was also pacing to finish as fantasy's WR22 if he stayed healthy. A torn abdominal muscle limited him to just 12 games played.
Kirk did this while sharing the field with Calvin Ridley. He had a 20.8 percent target share alongside Ridley, but it would not be shocking to see Kirk push for the 25 percent threshold this year as Ridley is no longer in Jacksonville. Given his lack of red zone usage, it's hard to see Kirk finishing as a top-15 WR. But, he should be productive as Jacksonville's top target earner. Although he is not the league-winning archetype, he seems to be a safe bet to pay off the price of WR30.

Jaguars release TE Evan Engram
Jacksonville saves $6 million against the cap

FFToday's Take: Another cost-cutting move by the Jaguars who clear $6 million in cap space with this transaction. The team is reshaping their receiving corps with Engram (30 years old) and Christian Kirk now departing. Engram managed to play in just 9 games last season after turning his best season as a pro back in 2023 (114-963-4). Brenton Strange is now in the driver's seat to be the starting TE in Jacksonville for 2025.
| Jaguars trade Christian Kirk to Texans
Jacksonville gets 2026 7th round pick
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Mar 6, 4:16 pm
| | The Houston Texans are finalizing a trade to acquire Jaguars WR Christian Kirk, per sources. While the Jaguars were planning on cutting Christian Kirk, they now will get back a 2026 seventh round pick from the Texans, per source. (Dianna Russini on X)
FFToday's Take: The Jags were set to release Kirk but found a trade partner instead. Houston will most likely be without Tank Dell in 2025 as he recovers from a bad knee injury suffered in late December of 2024. Kirk will likely step into a starting slot role and it remains to be seen if they bring back Stefon Diggs to work on the outside. Kirk will be on the late-round wide receiver list in redraft leagues this Summer.
| Jaguars expected to release WR Christian Kirk
Jaguars save over $10.4 million against the cap
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Mar 5, 12:47 pm
| | Jaguars plan to release veteran WR Christian Kirk, per source. Releasing Christian Kirk will save the Jaguars over $10.4 million against the cap. Kirk now will become a free agent in an increasingly crowded WR market. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Kirk was limited to eight games last season after suffering a broken collarbone in late October. At 28 years old, he still has some value in the league and could be a nice fantasy asset depending on his landing spot. Brian Thomas Jr. has taken over the lead wideout role in Jacksonville.
