Christian Kirk News

Christian Kirk's Role in San Francisco in Question Following NFL Draft?

Monday, April 27, 9:27 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Christian Kirk enters 2026 coming off the least productive season of his NFL career. Across 13 games with the Houston Texans in 2025, Kirk recorded 28 receptions for 239 yards and a touchdown on 52 targets. Kirk was definitely better in the playoffs, hauling in 10 catches for 164 yards and two scores on 15 targets across Houston's two postseason contests. Still, Kirk has now recorded fewer than 30 receptions in back-to-back seasons and has also missed 18 games over the past three years due to injury. In San Francisco, Kirk currently profiles as the team's WR3 alongside Mike Evans and Ricky Pearsall. However, the 49ers used a second-round pick on Ole Miss wideout De'Zhaun Stribling in the 2026 Draft, which could complicate Kirk's role at some point in the 2026 season. Kirk may still have a role on deeper dynasty rosters as a veteran depth piece, but his upside is limited as he enters his age-30 season.

Marquise Brown News

Marquise Brown Sliding Down Eagles' Depth Chart Following 2026 Draft

Monday, April 27, 9:48 AM

Veteran wide receiver Marquise Brown found a new home this offseason, latching on with the Philadelphia Eagles on a one-year contract for the 2026 campaign. Across 16 games with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025, Brown recorded 49 receptions for 587 yards and five touchdowns on 74 targets. The Eagles are widely expected to trade away star wideout A.J. Brown within the next few months, which would obviously open up target opportunities for Brown. However, Philadelphia also recently used a first-round pick on USC wide receiver Makai Lemon in the 2026 Draft and traded for former Green Bay Packers wideout Dontayvion Wicks. As a result, Brown does not appear to be guaranteed a fantasy-relevant role in Philadelphia and might not even be fully assured of a roster spot. Heading into his age-29 season, Brown's dynasty value is fading fast.
