Christian Kirk Puts Up 54 Yards and a Score in Week 3

Monday, September 25, 8:27 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk caught four of six targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in the loss to Houston on Sunday. It was the second straight week that Kirk led the Jacksonville pass-catchers in fantasy output, after being a complete non-factor in Week 1. With Zay Jones ruled out (Knee), Kirk played 86% of the WR snaps for the Jags, which was the highest on the week. Calvin Ridley was second with 82%. It's another start-worthy performance for the former Cardinal, who now has two consecutive top-25 PPR weekly finishes. Kirk is still going to be a risky play each week, especially if Jones is active, but he's proven that he still belongs in the WR3/flex category. Up next is a matchup with an Atlanta secondary that slot receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown just shredded for over 100 yards.

Deebo Samuel News

Deebo Samuel Held Out Of Monday's Practice

Monday, September 25, 6:27 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (ribs) was not seen at the team's practice on Monday. Samuel took a hard shot to his ribs in last Thursday night's blowout victory over the New York Giants, so his status for Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals is somewhat in question. The 49ers won't release their first official injury report for the week until Wednesday, so we suggest fantasy managers check back then for an update. The 27-year-old could miss more practice time this week, but it remains to be seen if he's truly in danger of missing Sunday's game. With Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) missing last Thursday's game, Deebo went off for six catches (12 targets), 129 yards and his first touchdown of 2023.
