Christian Kirk News

The Jacksonville Jaguars will not have wide receiver Christian Kirk (groin) available for their Week 18 game against the Tennessee Titans. Kirk appears to be nearing a return and was activated off of the injured reserve earlier in the week, but will sit out the Jags' season finale as he rests up for the team's likely playoff run. His absence should mean each of Evan Engram, Zay Jones, and Calvin Ridley will be able to put up fantasy-relevant numbers. Excluding Kirk's no-show in Week 1 and the game in which he suffered his brutal groin injury, the stud wideout was averaging 5.5 catches for 75.2 yards and 0.3 touchdowns this season as one of Trevor Lawrence's top options.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are not expected to have wide receiver Christian Kirk (groin) available for their Week 18 game against the Tennessee Titans. Kirk was able to return to practice earlier this week despite undergoing surgery to reattach a muscle to the bone just a few weeks ago, but it seems like his return to the field will have to wait at least until the first round of the playoffs. Expect the Jaguars' passing game to continue running through Calvin Ridley, Evan Engram, and Zay Jones with Kirk sidelined. Engram may play tight end, but has been a volume sponge in Kirk's absence and has caught the seventh-most passes in the NFL this season (104). He's projected for 8.3 fantasy points this week and has a $6,800 salary on FanDuel.
