Should You Start or Roster Christian Kirk?
The advanced numbers tell a worrying story. Kirk's 2025 in Houston was a collapse: 28 catches for 239 yards across 11 games, a brutal minus-0.389 EPA per play, and a 34.6% success rate that ranked him 106th. His target share fell to 9.4% and his yards per route run cratered to 0.9, a far cry from the 2.22 he posted during his 2023 peak (57-787-3, 51.8% success, plus-0.275 EPA). The downhill slide across three seasons is unmistakable, and turning 28 only sharpens the concern.
Now he lands in San Francisco on a one-year deal, projected behind Mike Evans and Ricky Pearsall, with McCaffrey and Kittle commanding a huge slice of the targets. An ADP near pick 230 reflects that crowded depth chart. He's a stash-only flier whose value hinges almost entirely on an injury opening a path, with a tough playoff slate working against him even then.
