3. WR Christian Kirk

Giants fans know all too well what it’s like to throw a four-year, $72 million deal at a free agent wide receiver and hope that it pays off. The difference for the Jaguars and Christian Kirk, though, is that it actually is paying off.

Kirk had 20 receptions, 327 yards and three touchdowns in his first three regular season games as a Jaguar. He has struggled to get the ball a bit over the last two weeks, seeing only eight total targets for five receptions, 35 yards and a touchdown. However, his four touchdowns through Week 6 are four more than Kenny Golladay has with the Giants… ever

Kirk gives Lawrence and the Jags another weapon that the Giants have to slow down if they hope to come away with a win on Sunday. It’ll be on the secondary to try and keep Kirk in check, which is easier said than done.
