Christian Kirk, WR, Arizona Cardinals

Yahoo! Ownership: 10%

Based on Week 3's performance against the Chicago Bears, Christian Kirk appears to have cemented his role as the Arizona Cardinals' number-two wide receiver.

After posting just 5 catches for 31 yards in his first two NFL games, the rookie caught 7 passes for 90 yards on 8 targets this past Sunday. It's fair to say some of the breakout performance came in part to Larry Fitzgerald being limited with a hamstring injury. However, Kirk showed a solid rapport with Josh Rosen when the rookie signal-caller entered the game late in the fourth quarter. On three of Rosen's seven pass attempts in Week 3, Kirk was the intended target. With Rosen under center from the start in Week 4, Kirk should see plenty of looks against the Seattle Seahawks.

While the Cardinals are facing a solid Seahawks pass D -- top-eight in passing yards allowed -- they are not unbeatable like they were in the Legion of Boom days. The 'Hawks have given up the fourth-most catches to wide receivers (46) while allowing the 12th-most PPR points to the position.

The game script is likely to be pass-heavy for Arizona, favoring Kirk, with Seattle as 3.0-point road favorites in Week 4.
