Kirk's raw production dipped in 2025 with the Texans, but his underlying profile still reads like the kind of efficiency bet Kyle Shanahan has repeatedly made at receiver. From 2022-25 with the Jaguars and Texans, Kirk averaged 1.67 yards per route run, caught 61.8% of his targets and produced 4.3 yards after the catch per reception.

STACKED’s take

NeutralValue

Kirk's efficiency profile (1.67 yards per route, 61.8% catch rate) fits Shanahan's system.

Kirk signed a one-year, $3 million contract with incentives that can push the deal to $6 million, a modest financial commitment. From 2022-25 with the Jaguars and Texans, Kirk averaged 1.67 yards per route run, caught 61.8% of his targets and produced 4.3 yards after the catch per reception, with more than 20% of his catches going for 20-plus yards—traits that fit Kyle Shanahan's offense despite 2025 production dip.
