2. Christian Kirk, WR, Arizona Cardinals

Who’s the No. 2 wideout in Arizona? A.J. Green? Christian Kirk? Rondale Moore? Does it really matter? Probably not. Cards’ quarterback Kyler Murray looked so explosive that any wideout on this team has the chance to be fantasy-relevant at any given time.

Kirk has been teetering on the edge of being a fantasy contributor ever since he’s been in the league. Many pegged this a breakout year before the Cardinals signed Green. However, Kirk is still a starter and will see the field plenty with how many spread sets the Cardinals run in games.

After seeing how explosive Murray and the Cardinals offense was versus Tennessee, I’m buying as many shares as I can of this offense. The target distribution aside from DeAndre Hopkins is slight concerning, but all it’ll take is one huge week from Kirk in your lineup to win you a matchup.

Don’t expect to start Kirk every week, but he’s one of those guys you want on your team that can be a bye week fill-in or a spot start in a smash-spot matchup.
