#4 Christian Kirk

He had 43 receptions in his rookie season and although didn’t find the end zone a lot with just three touchdowns, he had some huge receptions.  He caught for 590-yards, which is a 13.7-average.

Most leagues will give receivers points for every 10-yards.  Expect the number of receptions to go up this season where Kirk could turn into the number one receiver eventually.

Quarterback Kyler Murray will be looking for him, at least should be looking for him, often.  Kirk’s 2018 season ended prematurely due to injury.

However that has not carried into 2018.  He should be ready to go for camp and beyond.  Kirk is a deep threat and we all know big plays, such has his 75-yards touchdown catch last season, can do for a fantasy score.

It would be surprising if Kirk doesn’t grab 60-75 or possibly more receptions and has multiple 50+ yard scores.  It’s just a guess but the opportunities are going to be there.
