Don't trust Pickens, Kirk in fantasy Week 2
Two players to avoid in fantasy football this week
Allen Lazard is expected back in Week 2, so Christian Kirk's targets are likely to take a bit of a hit.
Christian Kirk began his Jacksonville Jaguars career with a bang, hauling in six catches for 117 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Washington Commanders. However, he is likely to see a decrease in targets in Week 2 with Allen Lazard expected to return from injury.
Lazard was one of Aaron Rodgers' favorite targets in Green Bay, and he is expected to fill a similar role in Jacksonville this season. With Lazard back in the fold, Kirk is likely to see his targets and production decrease.
George Pickens is a talented receiver, but he is likely to be shadowed by Marshon Lattimore in Week 2.
George Pickens had a breakout game in Week 1, catching six passes for 102 yards and a touchdown against the New Orleans Saints. However, he is likely to face a much tougher matchup in Week 2 against Marshon Lattimore.
Lattimore is one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL, and he is likely to shadow Pickens for much of the game. This will make it difficult for Pickens to get open and produce.
