Christian Kirk's Dynasty Value is Fading Heading into 2026

Saturday, March 14, 8:33 AM

Free agent wide receiver Christian Kirk is coming off the least productive season of his career in 2025, as he hauled in 28 receptions for 239 yards and a touchdown on 52 targets across 13 games with the Houston Texans. The 29-year-old was able to provide impressive production in the postseason, recording 10 catches for 164 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets across two contests. Still, Kirk has now recorded just two combined touchdown grabs over the past two regular seasons and has logged back-to-back years with fewer than 30 receptions. He's also had his struggles staying on the field in recent years, missing 18 games over the past three seasons. While Kirk should eventually find a home for 2026, it seems unlikely that he will be counted on to play a significant role in any team's passing game as he enters his age-30 season. Kirk's fantasy value in dynasty formats is fading after his production decline in 2025.

Mecole Hardman News

Mecole Hardman Joins Active Roster for Divisional Round

Friday, January 16, 4:45 PM

The Buffalo Bills announced on Friday that they elevated wide receiver Mecole Hardman from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster for Saturday's Divisional Round game against the hosting Denver Broncos. The team also elevated running back Frank Gore Jr. from the practice squad. Hardman will give Buffalo extra receiver depth after Gabe Davis (knee) and Tyrell Shavers (knee) both tore their ACLs in last Sunday's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Wild-Card round of the playoffs. Joshua Palmer (ankle) is also on Injured Reserve for the Bills, so their depth at the WR position behind Khalil Shakir will be tested in Denver. The 27-year-old Hardman is unlikely to have a big role on offense this weekend against a tough defense. In just two regular-season games in 2025, he had one target and no receptions.
