Concerns About Christian Kirk's Week One Performance

Christian Kirk had a disappointing performance in week one, with only one reception for nine yards on three targets. He played only 43 snaps, a 60% share, which is worse than any game he had last year. This is concerning because Kirk seemed like the best value among the Cardinals' wide receivers. He wasn't playing in two wide receiver sets, while Zay Jones played in all of them. Despite some optimism for Kirk's usage and the team's passing volume, the combination of Ridley's dominant performance, Zay Jones' involvement in two wide receiver sets, and the increased usage of Travis Etienne in the passing game raises concerns about Kirk's fantasy value moving forward.
