C. Kirk - WR

ARI

Cardinals placed Christian Kirk on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Kirk will miss the Cardinals' must-win Week 17 game against the Rams. To put things mildly, the Cardinals are in a very tough spot on Sunday. Kyler Murray will be playing through a leg injury, DeAndre Hopkins will face star CB Jalen Ramsey, Kirk is out, and both Larry Fitzgerald and Chase Edmonds are game-time decisions. Luckily for Arizona, the Rams won't have Jared Goff and Cooper Kupp.

C. Kirk - WR

ARI

Christian Kirk caught 7-of-10 targets for 76 yards in the Cardinals' Week 16 loss to the 49ers.

Kirk reeled in a 38-yarder in the Cardinals' first possession of the game. It was one of two big plays for an otherwise stagnant Cardinals offense. Kirk's 10 targets were second among Arizona pass catchers, trailing only DeAndre Hopkins. Kirk remains well behind Hopkins in the Cards' pass catching pecking order, and should only be rostered in deeper leagues. He'll be a WR4/5 in Week 17 against the Rams.

C. Kirk - WR

ARI

Christian Kirk caught 3-of-4 targets for 33 yards in Arizona's Week 15 win over the Eagles.

Kirk was peppered near the line of scrimmage, totaling four targets or less for the third consecutive game. With Dan Arnold emerging as Kyler Murray's de facto No. 2 target of late, Kirk, who hasn't eclipsed 50 receiving yards in five consecutive starts, has been pushed down the pecking order and become unusable for fantasy in that span. Managers should continue avoiding him in the Championship Game against the 49ers.

C. Kirk - WR

ARI

Christian Kirk caught 3-of-4 passes for 14 yards in the Cardinals' Week 14 win over the Giants.

In Week 9, Kirk posted 123 yards and a touchdown versus the Dolphins. He has fewer yards and touchdowns in his next five games combined. Kirk hasn't topped 50 yards once in his previous five contests. He's can be benched in all fantasy leagues and cut outright in leagues with shallow rosters.

C. Kirk - WR

ARI

Christian Kirk caught 1-of-3 targets for two yards in the Cardinals' Week 13 loss to the Rams.

After posting 78 yards and/or one touchdown in every game Weeks 4-9, Kirk has totaled 12-98-0 over the last four weeks. A low-floor WR4/5 in a run-first offense, Kirk isn't an exciting Week 14 fantasy option against the Giants.

C. Kirk - WR

ARI

Christian Kirk caught 3-of-6 targets for 19 yards in the Cardinals' Week 12 loss to the Patriots.

Kirk also "added" a zero-yard rush. Kirk's day could have been better, but he committed an egregious drop on what would have been an eight-yard score. After seeming to heat up mid-season, Kirk has now been held to 11/96/0 over his past three games. The Rams are not an ideal slump-busting matchup for Week 13. Kirk will be a WR4 for that one.

C. Kirk - WR

ARI

Christian Kirk caught 4-of-6 targets for 50 yards in the Cardinals' Week 11 loss to the Seahawks.

It was a disappointing night against a terrible secondary, one where the Cardinals seemingly found themselves taken aback by the Seahawks' defensive aggressiveness. Kirk has now failed to exceed 50 yards in three of his past four games after going past 75 three times between mid-October and early-November. The Patriots are a middle-of-the-road matchup for Week 12. Kirk will be more of a WR4 than WR3 for that one, especially since all 32 teams will be playing.

C. Kirk - WR

ARI

Christian Kirk caught 4-of-6 targets for 27 yards in Arizona's Week 10 win over Buffalo.

Sunday marked the end of Kirk's three-game scoring streak as he had previously recorded seven targets and/or a touchdown in each of his last five games. DeAndre Hopkins (7/127/1) instead hoarded a team-high 37.5% target share as Kirk filed in behind him with the second-most targets on the team. Although this game was a surprising letdown for Kirk, he's fully expected to bounce back as a strong WR3 in Thursday's divisional contest against the Seahawks, which have allowed the most fantasy points per game to enemy wideouts.

C. Kirk - WR

ARI

Christian Kirk caught 5-of-8 targets for 123 yards and one score in Arizona's Week 9 loss to the Dolphins.

Kirk picked up right where he left off at the bye, collecting a perfect 56-yard touchdown strike from Kyler Murray to tie the game in the first quarter. With Xavien Howard shadowing DeAndre Hopkins all over the field, Kirk was looked to for 3/74/1 receiving in the first half and a team-high eight targets on the afternoon. Since he returned from injury in Week 4, Kirk has quietly recorded seven targets and/or a touchdown in each of his last five games. He'll remain a terrific pivot away from Hopkins in DFS and strong WR3 for re-draft leagues in Week 10 against the Bills.

C. Kirk - WR

ARI

Christian Kirk caught 5-of-8 passes for 38 yards and two touchdowns in Week 7 against Seattle.

Kirk had two touchdowns again this week after posting a 2/86/1 line on Dallas. He's been one of the hotter receivers in the league with at least 50 yards or a touchdown in five straight games. Kirk will take a 18/278/5 line into Arizona's bye.

C. Kirk - WR

ARI

Christian Kirk caught 2-of-3 targets for 86 yards and two touchdowns in the Cardinals' Week 6 win over the Cowboys.

He made both of his catches count, turning the first one into a six-yard score on a jet sweep push pass to the right and then catching an 80-yard bomb over the top of the defense after roasting the cornerback. Kirk has scored three times over the last three weeks and is starting to show signs of playmaking life after entering this one near the bottom of the league in yards per route. Kirk probably deserves to be rostered in 12-team leagues, but he still feels extremely volatile. The good news is he gets a juicy Week 7 date with the Seahawks' awful pass defense.

C. Kirk - WR

ARI

Christian Kirk caught 5-of-7 targets for 78 yards in Arizona's Week 5 win over the Jets.

It was arguably Kirk's best performance of 2020 as he was consistently used as both a downfield weapon and on intermediate routes for the first time all year. His seven targets also tied DeAndre Hopkins (6/131/1) and Larry Fitzgerald (4/35) for a team-high mark. Clearly the team's No. 2 wideout ahead of Andy Isabella (2/30) and Fitzgerald, Kirk remains a volatile WR3/4 who finds himself in a salivating matchup against Dallas' cornerbacks room in Week 6.

E. Comrie - G

Eric Comrie has been added to New Jersey's active roster.

That gives the Devils three goaltenders on the roster right now, as Comrie joins Mackenzie Blackwood and Scott Wedgewood. New Jersey also claimed Aaron Dell off waivers from Toronto on Monday. Comrie was claimed off waivers from Winnipeg on Jan. 12. New Jersey also assigned netminder Gilles Senn to Binghamton of the AHL on Wednesday.

M. Brantley - LF

According to sports broadcaster Hazel Mae, the Blue Jays have signed Michael Brantley to a three-year deal.

TSN's Scott Mitchell reported late Tuesday night that "there's legit legs" to the idea of Brantley and George Springer heading to Toronto as a package deal, and that is indeed how it has played out. The outfield depth chart is now a bit crowded, but the Blue Jays could primarily use Brantley at designated hitter or maybe trade from the surplus to make a much-needed addition at starting pitcher. Brantley, 33, slashed .300/.364/.476 over 187 plate appearances with the Astros in 2020 and provides another big upgrade to the Jays' suddenly deep and dynamic lineup. The financial terms of the three-year contract have not yet been revealed.

Carter Verhaeghe scored a pair of goals in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over Chicago.

Verhaeghe opened the scoring with his first goal as a member of the Panthers 13:25 into the first period. He also gave the Panthers a 3-1 lead early in the second period to earn the second multi-goal game of his NHL career. Verhaeghe has three points in two games with the Panthers. Florida has been giving him an increased role and so far he is living up to the team's expectations.

L. Jackson - QB

BAL

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said he's "totally certain" the Ravens will sign Lamar Jackson to a long-term extension.

“Eric [DeCosta] and I have talked about that and other contracts, so I’m very confident that Eric and those guys will do a great job,” Harbaugh said. “Absolutely, we want Lamar to sign a long-term deal and be with us. I’m totally certain that’s going to happen. When it happens, that’s the details. That’s what we’ve got to figure out.” Harbaugh was commenting on a report that the Ravens plan to explore an extension for Jackson this offseason. Baltimore is a lock to pick up Jackson's fifth-year option in May. There's optimism the sides can reach a long-term deal before next year's training camp.

W. Davis - RP

Royals signed RHP Wade Davis to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

The deal carries a potential $1.25 million salary and $925,000 in performance-based incentives. Davis was once a two-time AL All-Star and down-ballot Cy Young Award vote-getter in Kansas City, but he returns as more of a late-career reclamation project after stumbling to a brutal 9.77 ERA in 47 innings with the Rockies between 2019-2020. The 35-year-old will likely pitch in middle relief if he makes the Royals' roster out of camp.
