Christian Kirk... the reality is Kirk is a 29-year-old coming off a 239-yard season in Houston... Kirk has always lacked a ceiling and his more all-around game lends itself to a 'little things' role... unlikely to provide more than pop-up fantasy dividends.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Kirk's 239-yard 2025 and lack of ceiling limit him to pop-up fantasy dividends in Shanahan's system.

Kirk, a 29-year-old free agent addition, is seemingly tailor-made for Shanahan's system but the reality is he's coming off a 239-yard season in Houston (excluding an 8/144/1 Wild Card blowup against the Steelers). The source notes Kirk has always lacked a ceiling and his all-around game lends itself to a 'little things' role. While those things might be important to Shanahan, they are unlikely to provide more than pop-up fantasy dividends, making him a low-upside option competing for No. 3 status.
