The Jaguars have traded wide receiver Christian Kirk to the Houston Texans.
Dynasty Analysis
The Jags were all set to release Kirk, but the Texans took advantage of a weaker than expected wide receiver market and decided to send them a draft pick and absorb his contract instead. You can see why as Kirk has been productive for stretches in his career. While his three years in Jacksonville were clearly a disappointment, the draft pick compensation is minimal and Houston had a big need with Stefon Diggs likely on the way out and Tank Dell's status for next season unclear. Kirk should have a chance for a bounce-back season playing alongside Nico Collins and should remain on dynasty rosters, though more as a high-upside, high-risk option.

Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk is out for the season with a broken collarbone.
Dynasty Analysis
Kirk, the target of a number of trade rumors recently, ends the year with 27 receptions, 379 yards and one touchdown. It was a major letdown for Kirk after his 57/787/3 season from last year was considered a blip on the radar. Kirk is still under contract with the Jags for one more year, but he's going to be three years removed from his last productive season at the beginning of next year. Turning 28 next month, Kirk's dynasty star is quickly starting to fade.
