Fantasy Football: 5 potential risky wide receiver plays in Week 1

1. Christian Kirk, Arizona Cardinals

The unknown factor of this new look Cardinals offense is a reason Kirk is a risky play. No owner who knows football is going to sit DeAndre Hopkins under any circumstance. Any other receiver is a risk.

There are a few reasons for this one. First and foremost, Arizona is facing one of the top defenses in football in the San Francisco 49ers. Kirk logged eight catches for 49 yards against the 49ers in two games last season. Most of the attention will be on Hopkins but Kirk will not be forgotten about.

Kyler Murray will have a big name weapon to work with now. He and Kirk developed a strong connection last season but that might take a step back with Hopkins in town. It will be interesting to see how he spreads the ball around.

Until that is figured out, Kirk is a third receiver, at best. This week against the 49ers, the matchup is tough to like which makes him a bench option in Week 1.
