The Jaguars lost their No. 2 wide receiver to injury. We break down fantasy football replacements for Christian Kirk.
The Jacksonville Jaguars 2024 season has been a disaster, and things got a little worse on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. Wide receiver Christian Kirk injured his shoulder in the fourth quarter of the team’s 30-27 loss. He had his left arm in a sling after the game and now the media are reporting that he broke his collarbone and is done for the rest of the season.
Kirk was second on the team with 25 receptions and 320 yards, while finding the end zone once. Brian Thomas, Jr. is the team’s leading receiver with 30 receptions for 513 yards and four touchdowns.
If you’re looking for a Jaguars replacement on your fantasy football roster, Gabe Davis is an interesting option. He is third with 18 receptions, and notably has 35 targets in the passing game. That is only seven fewer than Kirk and ten fewer than Thomas. Davis is currently rostered in 16% of Yahoo! leagues, so he is available if you need some help.
If you’re looking outside of the Jaguars, JuJu Smith-Schuster is an interesting option. He missed Week 8 with a hamstring injury, but over his previous four weeks, he was fifth in average fantasy points scored among wide receivers. He’s rostered in only 25% of leagues, so he could be worth grabbing.
