News: 1 day agoKirk brought in three of six targets for 39 yards in the Jaguars' 35-16 loss to the Bears on Sunday in London.

Spin: Kirk finished third in receptions, receiving yards and targets for the Jaguars with his lowest totals in the first two categories since Week 2. The veteran wideout still drew an appreciable amount of Trevor Lawrence's attention, however, and Kirk certainly has the ability to bounce back against an inconsistent Patriots defense in a Week 7 matchup at Wembley Stadium.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: A return to the top of the depth chart in Jacksonville could define Kirk's 2024. Calvin Ridley's arrival in Jacksonville last season saw Kirk assume a smaller share of the passing market, resulting in per-game production in the WR3 and flex tier among receivers. A core injury that required surgery and an IR stint also slowed his production. This marked a decline from Kirk's surprisingly strong WR2 finish in his 2022 debut season with the team. Yet with Ridley off to the rival Titans and the arrival of lower-volume field-stretcher Gabe Davis and rookie Brian Thomas Jr., Kirk has a realistic path to pace the depth chart in opportunities as a top option for Trevor Lawrence. Consider Kirk as a flex.
