Fantasy Football 2018: Top 10 waiver wire Week 12 pickups

Arizona Cardinals WR Christian Kirk

The Arizona Cardinals have seemingly found another piece of the puzzle in rookie wide receiver Christian Kirk, who had his biggest fantasy performance of the season in Week 11, catching three passes for 77 yards and a touchdown.

Kirk has always looked like the most dangerous receiver in the Cardinals offense, and he now has four games with over 75 receiving yards, with that touchdown reception being his third of the year.

His emergence as a playmaker has been huge for Josh Rosen and the Cardinals offense, as getting the ball to Kirk is a much better option than, say, throwing the ball to Chad Williams, who is one of the NFL’s worst receivers this year with a ghastly 35.5% catch rate.

The Cardinals passing attack runs through Fitzgerald and Kirk, who currently leads the team with 495 receiving yards. He isn’t the most consistent option with just two games with more than five receptions, but he makes plays and is having a growing role in the offense.

In the fantasy playoffs, Kirk is a candidate to blow up if the targets start coming in, and it will be interesting to see if he can once again string back-to-back impressive performances in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
