Best fantasy football matchups to exploit in Week 12: 2. Christian Kirk, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars (vs. BAL)

A big reason for Lawrence’s second-year improvement has been the addition of Christian Kirk. Past all of the parody about his excessive contract, he has actually been a quality player for Jacksonville. He’s the go-to target for Lawrence and has constantly been able to get open.

From a fantasy perspective, Kirk has been one of the most lowkey successes in the league. He’s currently the overall WR9 in PPR scoring. He’s outscored guys like Michael Pittman Jr., Terry McLaurin, and Mike Evans. He’s been a startable WR2 despite being overlooked in August drafts.

The analysis about the Baltimore Ravens below-average secondary applies here as well, as Kirk should be set up for another high-volume day. The Jaguars keep most games fairly competitive, and Kirk will be needed big-time in this one. He’s a solid WR2 for Week 12.
