Over/Under Week 7 - Christian Kirk
Coming off a 2 TD performance, will the Cardinals wide out shine vs. Seattle?
Video Transcript
- All right, first over under is going to be a player coming off of a monster week, and he's got a terrific match-up. Christian Kirk-- Arizona Cardinals wide receiver-- 12.9 standard fantasy points, half PPR I should say. And I am going to take the over on this one. Love Kirk this week.
I know that the workloads haven't necessarily been there, right? He's only averaging about five targets per week, but this match-up is spectacular against Seattle. Seattle by a mile allowing the most receiving yards to the wide receiver position. They are also giving up 370 passing yards per week-- an exceedingly generous defense.
Kirk is going to need to be targeted early and often in this one. I think he gets to this total easily. One touchdown, maybe 90 or 100 yards. Tank, what say you?
TANK WILLIAMS: Man I got to go with the over too. Like, you remember that one time in Mexico when you're just kind of lying in bed. Then you wake up, and you look to your left. And it's like that person that you see like, you don't know them anymore. Like, that was Kirk. Like, Kirk blew up last week. And we're like, hold up, who is this dude that's just been throwing up zeros in our lineup, you know, the first four or five weeks of the season.
But now, my dude is finally healthy. My man-- my man is finally looking for him. And I think that he is in the game script that's going to allow him to exploit that match-up against the Seahawks on the outside. And so when you're moving DeAndre Hopkins all around in the slot and everything else, Kirk's going get busy on the outside. So I'd definitely think he goes over today with that number.
ANDY BEHRENS: Minty, can we make it a sweep?
MINTY BETS: Unfortunately, not. I get why you guys like the over, but I'm on the under here. I know it's hard to believe since he had a day against Dallas last week, and he's going up against a very nonexistent Seahawks defense.
But the Seahawks are coming off a bye. I think they step it up here. I think Christian Kirk gets maybe a touchdown, a couple of receptions here and there, but no significant yardage. So that's why I'm taking the under.
ANDY BEHRENS: Oh, I hate it when someone has to be the voice of reason. OK, we'll try to get you a sweep later in the show.
