    Arizona Cardinals WR Christian Kirk caught four passes for 49 yards and a touchdown in a 20-15 preseason win over the New Orleans Saints Friday, Aug. 17.

    Huddle Up: Kirk doesn't have a clear path to a lot of playing time early on, but he's not a bad late-round flier in redraft leagues.

    Arizona Cardinals WR Christian Kirk has an opportunity to make an immediate impact as an 'underneath threat' in the passing attack, according to Nick Shook of NFL.com.

    Huddle Up: Kirk could be the No. 2 option in the passing game behind Larry Fitzgerald as soon as this year. He's worth adding as a WR5 in redraft leagues, and he is a potential first-round pick in rookie drafts.

    Arizona Cardinals second-round draft choice WR Christian Kirk signed a four-year contract with the Cardinals Thursday, May 24. Financial terms were not disclosed.

    Huddle Up: Kirk has a chance to be the No. 2 or No. 3 receiver for the Cardinals this upcoming season and should receive a solid amount of targets. He can be a late-round pick in deeper leagues and serve as a No. 4 or No. 5 fantasy receiver.

    Arizona Cardinals WR Christian Kirk was arrested in February and charged with criminal damage for allegedly throwing rocks at cars while intoxicated. The case is pending and a Cardinals spokesman said the team is aware of the incident and spoke with Kirk at length about it. 'Our understanding is that the process will be resolved in the near future, but while it remains an active legal matter, we won't comment further.

    Huddle Up: A severe punishment is unlikely for Kirk. Arizona knew Kirk had been arrested when they drafted him, so they obviously weren't scared off enough to not draft him. Kirk can be one of the more impactful rookies in this year's class, but he's not deserving of being drafted as better than a WR4 in PPR leagues.

    The Arizona Cardinals selected Texas A&M WR Christian Kirk with the 47th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft Friday, April 27.

    Huddle Up: Kirk has a chance to have a big role in the passing game this season because the Cardinals lost several receivers in free agency. Owners in most leagues can consider Kirk a No. 4 receiver in 2018, while owners in keeper leagues can use a middle-round pick on him.

    Texas A&M WR Christian Kirk ran a 4.47-second 40-yard dash Saturday, March 3, at the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine. He hoisted 20 reps at 225 pounds on the bench press, which ranked tied for third-most at his position. His 40 time tied for 10th-fastest among wide receivers.

    Huddle Up: Kirk has a legitimate shot at being the second receiver chosen and could make an immediate impact for fantasy purposes. He could compare favorably to Golden Tate in terms of style of play, but his landing spot will play a major factor in any potential fantasy success in Year 1.
